There is a street in the Indian city of Muzaffarpur, where men come to watch girls sing and dance, but not just that. Beyond the front rooms of its establishments, much darker business is conducted, including prostitution and people trafficking. Muzaffarpur’s red light district is home to more than 2,500 sex workers. The young women that ‘sing and dance’ have ended up here for different reasons. Some have severe family problems, some have been sold, beaten, and coerced, and some are even following in their mothers’ footsteps. All share one thing in common: they are trapped in a horrific life they despise.
