We work on the protection and the defense of the rights of women. We work against the violence done to women and girls and especially on genital mutilation of girls. We think that prostitution is one of the forms of violence done to women and girls, even though we don't work directly or only with prostitution.
Prostitution is qualified, as it is everywhere, as the oldest job in the world.
It's also called the commerce of sex. In Mali it's called maki. The main reason women and girls go into prostitution is economic. The girls and women that fall into prostitution come from an economic background that is deprived. They come from families that have many children, where there are economic problems and a constant fight for survival.
