BBC NEWS | In pictures: Forced labour and trafficking

These are orphans. Natasha is the last one in the row, hiding from everybody. She was taken to the foster home by police who found her at a train station. Natasha didn't know her surname or her age. Her mother is said to have sold her to people who ran a "beggar business". "If I didn't bring any money, they would beat me and send me back to work next morning," she told people at the home. Natasha later disappeared from the orphanage and has not been seen since. Her mother has been located - she denies selling her daughter, saying she "rented her so she could earn some money for textbooks".
