Swaziland x 2014

I’m back in Denmark after an intensive and challenging week in Swaziland. I was sent to the southern hemisphere by the The Danish Bible Society and United Bible Societies in order to picture and document life in the northern Kuhllahlah region. An area that has been vastly affected by HIV for the past 30 years, and as a negative consequence of this almost pandemic disease, the country has been fighting with domestic violence, rape, poverty and more than anything, trauma. 

Swaziland is traumatised, and during my stay I got the chance to hear the atrocious and unbearable stories from the townsfolk.
