Marialena, a 42-year-old homeless AIDS sufferer and former drug addict who is on a methadone rehabilitation program, pushes away her boyfriend Dimitrios who is trying to clean up her self-inflicted wounds, under a bridge in central Athens May 15, 2013. Dimitrios, 51, was a dancer for a famous Greek folk dancing troupe until he lost his job three years ago and became homeless. Since the debt crisis erupted in 2009, hundreds of thousands of Greeks have lost their jobs and the unemployment rate in the country reached 26.8 percent in March, new figures show. Klimaka, a nongovernmental organisation, estimated there were around 20,000 homeless in Greece in 2012. Picture taken May 15, 2013.

A pregnant crack dealer counts her money on a street in Sao Paulo March 18, 2012. Demand for cocaine has soared along with the economy over the past decade and fueled an abundant supply of crack now ensnaring thousands of new addicts.

An Afghan doctor explains the use of condoms to a group of women addicts at a counseling session at the Nejat drug rehabilitation centre, an organisation funded by the United Nations providing harm reduction and HIV/AIDS awareness, in Kabul January 29, 2012. With little funding and no access to substitution drugs such as methadone, treatment is rudimentary at Nejat for a problem that is growing in a dirt-poor country riven by conflicts for more than three decades. Opiate consumption in Afghanistan, where it has long been a medication but in recent years has been used increasingly for recreation, is also on a sharp rise. Nejat estimates around 60,000 women in Afghanistan regularly take illegal drugs, including hashish and marijuana. Shrouded in stigma, female drug users is a topic that is almost never mentioned in Afghanistan. Picture taken January 29, 2012.

A syringe sucks up a mixture of heroin and water prepared on a foil wrap as addicts shoot up in Stone Town Zanzibar, December 22, 2009. An estimated 4,000-6,000 narcotics addicts use syringes to inject themselves in Zanzibar, a tropical archipelago of one million people, better known for tourism and beach holidays than drug abuse. High rates of HIV among addicts threaten to affect the general population as growth in heroin trafficking through east Africa is making the narcotic more available. Picture taken December 22, 2009.

The United Nations said that while adult infection rates had dropped in some countries due to increased use of condoms and changes in sexual behaviour, the epidemic continued to grow.

A street kid sniffs glue in a Mexico City neighborhood November 16,
2001. A new film about homeless children living, loving and dying on
Mexico City's streets attempts to delve deeper into the roots of a
problem, largely ignored by Mexican society. The movie "De la Calle,"
or "Of the Street," details a street child's search for his father, a
tale that includes real street children and that paints a picture of
social decay, poverty, sexual violence and drug addiction.
