The Wolf Girls

Hypertrichosis can be very cruel when its genes are passed down. Three sisters, Savita, 23, Monisha, 18, and 16-year-old Savitri Sangli, inherited the disorder from their father.

The sisters must use special creams every day or risk rapid hair regrowth. Despite the negative effects of the condition, these three girls still dream of  getting married. Unfortunately, in their small Indian village of Sangli, unmarried women have few prospects.

“Marriage is not an option for us, it’s not likely to happen, who is going to marry us when hair keeps growing on our faces" quotes one of the sisters.

Life would be difficult anywhere for the three girls, but India in particular, is sensitive to rare and unique health conditions; laws against discrimination are not enforced here. This means that the oldest sister, Savitri, is never able to withold a job for more than fifteen days. When her hair starts growing, her employers fire her.

The girls' mother, Anita says her three daughters are desperate to find a way to fund laser hair removal surgery to remove the hair. She estimates that the surgery will cost £4000 which is approximately $7,000 US dollars per daughter.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvBTjpRLkXA&feature=related
