There are women who seem to choose prostitution as a career choice in order to overcome the crushing poverty and pitifully low wages; they can earn enough money in one hour that would take them a week to make if she were working in a supermarket, for example. Often this money supports her family. Also, some work part-time in the sex trade to top up the family’s weekly income but in some places it isn’t because wages are so low which is driving women into this work. Is prostitution a career or slavery ?
