Prostitution

Being alone and with nowhere to go home to is bad enough and the need for money forces these ladies to take desperate measures. Homeless women always see prostitution as a way to start living and get on their feet again. This can be a solution, but the mental and emotional cost is incredible. The shame, the risk of being beaten, raped and killed is higher than living on the street. These women are literally selling themselves to strangers and abuse. Their desperation is so big, that in the moment they don't think of the consequences and simply see it as an "easy way" to make money. Also, women who insist wearing condoms while engaging in sexual relationships, get paid less than those who don't wear condoms, which leads to a higher risk of HIV and AIDS. Their ultimate sacrifice is giving up their body to be treated in unloving and harmful ways.
