Shanno, 24, is 9 months pregnant with her 4th child as she sits on the bed in her rented one-room house in a slum in Tonk, Rajasthan, India, on 20th June 2012. Shanno was married at the age of 17 and has had 4 successive pregnancies which affected her health and her children's health because she was unable to breastfeed them and was too poor to raise them properly. She had also given one of her sons to her sister at birth. Her husband refuses to use contraceptives and she is not allowed to have an operation. Photo by Suzanne Lee for Save The Children UK
