ALL I CAN GIVE YOU IS MY BLOOD - PLASMA TRADE EXPLOITS HUNGARY’S MOST VULNERABLE

In the rust belt of north-eastern Hungary, a new economy is thriving – one built on human blood. Private companies have found a way to profit from the desperation of the region's most marginalized population, the Gypsies. For many, the act of donating blood plasma has become a lifeline, a grim means of survival in a landscape of chronic unemployment and deprivation.

Author
BELA VARADI is a Hungarian-born documentary photographer who moved to the UK in 2012 after he needed to leave his career in journalism and public broadcasting following the far-right Orban government's crackdown on media and editorial freedom .I turned my attention to photography and started creating documentary photo series about Roma and Traveller life in the UK and documenting the intersectionality of Roma and LGBTQ+ experiences. Some of my photo series have been awarded and nominated in international photo competitions. I exhibited my photos at a literary festival in Hastings and at the Glastonbury Festival in 2022 and 2023. Since 2022, I have worked for the Traveller Times, the leading GRT magazine in the UK. My photographs and videos have been commissioned by different Gypsy Romani and Traveller charities and organisations.
