Description

Something raw is happening behind the scenic beauty of Malawi’s Chikangwa forest- scores of men are queuing for sex with a single woman in a nondescript shack, most times without a condom. Despite the threat of contracting HIV, the men-mostly sawyers starved of sex due to isolation from their families – are also paying a premium for the unprotected sex, which has become one of the most expensive commodity around the forest due to the natural laws of supply and demand.
