“These images do more than tell stories of progress, they remind us our shared humanity, of our responsibilities to one another,” @エルトン・ジョン writes in #NYTOpinion. The photographer @hammond_robin has been taking his camera to countries like Mozambique, where homosexuality is widely condemned and, to Kenya and Ghana, where it’s even illegal. “These images and narratives show that those affected by this epidemic are not evil. In fact, they’re not really any different from anyone else,” @エルトン・ジョン writes. “As an artist, I know that a single photograph can tell a greater truth than a pile of statistics, and there is profound humanity in giving individuals at the margins the opportunity to step into the light. Robin’s images tell the story of struggle and survival, of resilience and empathy, of discrimination and the hard work and advocacy needed to overcome it.” Here, @hammond_robin photographed Tasha, a 21-year-old Ugandan refugee living in Nairobi, Kenya. Tasha, a transgender woman, rarely leaves her apartment out of concern for her safety, but says many of the other Ugandan refugees in Kenya have to sell sex to survive. “I’m not doing sex work, but most of the people — most of my refugee friends — are engaging in sex work, because they want to earn a living. And most of the people that are engaging in sex work are getting different diseases like H.I.V./ AIDS.” Swipe left to see more of @hammond_robin’s photos of life on the margins in #LGBT Africa.
