A passer-by walks past a Day of the Dead altar built by sex workers at a red light district in Mexico City October 31, 2013. Sex workers built the altar to remember their deceased colleagues, especially those who were violently murdered in the last few years. The annual Day of the Dead is observed on November 1 and 2.
