Many Ethiopian women fear being forced into a life of prostitution.
The circumstances of hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Ethiopia are so desperate that many women are forced into prostitution. There is no other way to make enough money to feed and clothe themselves. As a child, Dinke watched her mother work as a prostitute in her grandmothers tavern. After her mother died, Dinke was forced to support the aging woman by selling vegetables in the town. When Dinke was 18, she tried to get into a vocational school but failed.
