They are both educated and uneducated. They are adolescents and adults. They are single and married. Some are called professional prostitutes even though they don't like that term. Some are called occasional prostitutes because they have been forced into prostitution, or they have ended up there not by choice.
Prostitutes work in hotels, restaurants, and brothels.
They also work under trees in the street. Those that work under the trees in the street are the ones who are most exposed to and at the greatest risk of being victims of violence. Very often they are beaten, and not paid. When they are paid, the money is often taken away from them. Very often these women in prostitution are under the control of pimps, who are men and women.
