Prostitutes pose for photos inside Nigerian slum brothel

A series of photographs taken in the slums of Lagos shows the faces of sex workers living in horible conditions.

The pictures were taken by photographer Ton Koeneon in a Lagos slum named Badia.

There are currently an estimated 1.2million people in Lagos, Nigeria's largest city, living with HIV.

He said his driver had quipped: 'If you arrive by car, you can smell the HIV virus outside.'

In Badia, sex workers as young as 14, trying to earn money to survive, entertain around five clients a day.
