BBC Africa Eye spent four years following the lives of a group of sex workers in Makeni .
Thousands of women are estimated to have turned to sex work across Sierra Leone .
Some of the women we meet have also contracted HIV and some have been killed.
Charity groups say the number of young girls working in the sex trade has increased as the country grapples with the Ebola outbreak and the coronavirus pandemic.
Thousands of Sierra Leoneans , including children, are trafficked every year .
They are either abducted or tricked into travelling out of the country with the promise of a better job.
Instead, they are sold to foreigners in countries around the continent and end up in forced labour or sexual exploitation.
