Almost hidden within the depths of one of Africa's largest cities live the enigmatic kayayo - thousands of young adolescent girls who have chosen to live in an exclusively female world devoid of men and boys. Through extensive interviews in often dangerous circumstances Carol Larratt takes us on a journey where we experience first-hand their tragedies and horrors. Human Mules is a story of human survival against almost inconceivable adversity. Yet like all stories of survival it is ultimately uplifting as we too experience the joys and heartaches of these courageous young women.
