    • Caption Sara (21) was six when she complained that someone close to the family was interfering with her, but it wasn't until she was ten that she was heard. The last available study, conducted in 1994, indicated that 23 percent of girls and 15 percent of boys under the age of 17 in Spain had been sexually abused. Most abused children will never speak of their experience. As an adult survivor, Sara believes that disclosing her personal story will contribute to the prevention of future child sex abuse.

Some migrants are repatriated, others are sent to mainland Spain, but many end up in limbo, unable to gain work papers yet unwilling to go home.

    • Caption An oil-spill volunteer assists in a clean-up operation. Some weeks earlier, the Bahamas-registered tanker Prestige, carrying 70,000 tons of heavy fuel oil, had begun to break up in bad weather, 250km off the coast. The Prestige was towed out to sea after both Spanish and Portuguese governments refused permission for the ship to enter their ports. At first, oil spillage was minimal, as most compartments remained intact. But six days later the tanker broke in half, its bow and stern sinking within hours of each other and releasing an oil slick nearly 200m wide and 30km long. The slick washed ashore within days, damaging a coast that was not only rich in wildlife, but along which whole communities depended on fishing for their livelihoods. Clean-up work was conducted largely by volunteers. Environmentalists accused the Spanish authorities of a slow response to the disaster.

    • Caption At the Shaolin temple men practice a particular form of wushu, war art. The 18 basic positions of what some call Shaolin Kung Fu are inspired by the movement and agility of animals. According to legend, over 1,500 years ago, the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma introduced Indian principles of meditation and yogic calisthenics to the Shaolin monks' own tradition, to help them endure the physical demands of long periods of meditation. Over the centuries, the men of the Shaolin temple added skills from different martial arts to Bodhidharma's original system, and became renowned as warrior-monks.
