Minor Miners, India's coal mining children

A young teenaged miner carries heavy solid coal rocks on her head while walking barefoot for kilometers, across sharp stones and hot coals in the open-pit coalmines of Dhanbad, Jharkhand, India. She, like many other girls, has been working since childhood in the mines and has never been to school. Photo by Suzanne Lee
