World Aids Day: meet Uganda's forgotten women – in pictures
To mark World Aids Day, photographer Carol Allen Storey captures the beauty and resilience of the women of Hamukungu, a poverty-stricken fishing village in Uganda. All her subjects are widows driven into the sex trade, all living with HIV. They share the tragic circumstances of their lives with touching frankness.

Grace Mbabazi is 33 years old, a widow with three children
"I hunt for men and tell them I want sex. If you satisfy a man, you satisfy your hunger. Here in the village, virtually all the women are sex workers – even the grandmothers. We are desperate to feed our hungry children. My plan is to earn as much money as possible so that my children will attend school and not be illiterate"
