Market

An Afghan boy sells vegetables on Universal Children's Day in Kabul, Afghanistan. The serious economic crisis in the country is forcing an increasing number of families to sell their children or pledge the girls for marriage at a very young age to claim the dowry, Unicef said on November 12.
