Prostitutes An Nuhud

Prostitutes An Nuhud represent a visible yet marginalized segment facing intersecting challenges of poverty, gender inequality, and limited legal protections. Their presence underscores systemic gaps in social safety nets where informal economies become necessary alternatives for survival.

Root Causes and Vulnerabilities

Economic desperation drives many into this profession, with limited access to education or vocational opportunities. As one community worker noted: When famine displaced rural families, daughters became breadwinners overnight. Social stigma further isolates these women, restricting healthcare access and legal recourse against exploitation.

Survival Strategies and Community Impact

Many operate through transient networks, moving between markets to avoid authorities. Childcare obligations often compel mothers to bring children to work sites, perpetuating intergenerational exposure. Local NGOs report rising HIV rates, with prevention resources critically underfunded despite the public health implications.
