This Is The Reason Why Street kids turn to pr8stitution

The 18-year-old is among the many girls who have been forced into the world's oldest profession because of economic hardships.

Most girls who live on the streets have turned to s3x work because of the escalating economic challenges bedevilling the country.

After suffering repeated abuse from relatives and boys on the streets who took turns to rape her, Elina decided to become the master of her own destiny by indulging in s3x work.

Even though prostitution is not an easy profession, the burden of taking care of her young sister, also presents a serious challenge to the orphan.

"Begging does not bring much, so desperation drove me into  this," she said with a muffled voice.

Elina and her friends  frequent the most popular night clubs in Gweru.

The young rookies have not found the going easy as experienced sex workers allegedly bully them.
