Urban Poverty: Young men burn waste cables in the rain to reclaim copper at Agbogbloshie, Ghana. Many of them had escaped hunger and poverty in their villages to Accra in search of economic opportunities — only to end up in a harsh urban environment. © 2019 Muntaka Chasant

Child labour: A 15 years old boy (Emmanuel Osei) engaged in hazardous work sifts dirt from rusty nails and other small metals before selling them at around $0.15 per kilo at Agbogbloshie, Ghana. An estimated 152 children worldwide between 5 and 17 years are in child labour. 62% of all children in hazardous child labour are boys, according to ILO statistics. Copyright © 2020 Muntaka Chasant
