Whores’ Glory

In Thailand, women wait for clients behind glass panes, staring at reflections of themselves. In Bangladesh, men go to a ghetto of love to satisfy their unfulfilled desires on indentured girls. And in Mexico, women pray female Death to avoid facing their own reality. In worlds where the most intimate act has become a paid commodity, these women have received money for it – but it has not made their lives rich in anything but stories.
