The women of Peru's illegal gold mines, Peru - May 2014
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/qqky
Peru now exports more illegally-produced gold than it does cocaine and Peru is one of the world's largest gold exporters.
Though there are many who profit from this gold rush, there is a population of women that are slaves to the process, known as the Daughters of Awichita.
Peruvian photographer Omar Lucas has captured a series of thought-provoking images of the women working in the gold mines.
The photos were taken in La Rinconada, a place that is five hours away from Lake Titicaca, where there is a population of about 70,000 people who live on the gold they extract from the edges of a snowy mountain.
