“How is life on the streets?” the interviewer asked.<\/p>\n
Nasibo replied, “It’s very hard living on the streets. The guy I’m staying with treats me how he wants because he thinks I have nothing. He provides everything, so he treats me however he wants. If I had another option, I would have left.”<\/p>\n
