In Photos: The Secret World Of Modern Slavery

Anita, 15, forced into child marriage in Kenya

I was out grazing the cows when my father said it was time to get married. I was woken up early and circumcised. The elders said the man was to be my only husband. He was 55. I was very confused. I was only 10. Nine months later, because I had not given him a baby, he began tasking me with the difficult jobs. I decided I had to escape – he beat me so hard my leg wouldn’t stop bleeding. I was taken in by the Catholic Sisters and started school in 2013. I hope to be a doctor.
