Catherine Kambanje with her 1-year-old son, photographed in the village of Kachulu on Lake Chilwa in Malawi. She says she traded sex for fish for seven years. Typical payment was a bucket of fish. She’d use some to feed her family and sell the rest. Now she burns wood to make charcoal, which she sells. She says she earns significantly less than she did before.
