Hong Kong is a vibrant city full of people - so much so that the quality of life for those at the most poor is atrocious. Up to 18 strangers live together in tiny 625 square foot cages with just one toilet to share. Each cubicle then becomes home to one resident.
The cages contain all their possessions, from clothes to cooking supplies and even family heirlooms. Realistically speaking, the cage is smaller than a jail cell; yet, these cages house thousands of poverty-stricken men and women who have nowhere else to live.
A cage-dweller from Hong Kong explained, “It’s dirty and hot. There are cockroaches and bedbugs, and the air-conditioning doesn’t work.”
