1.2 Statement Of The Problem
The people involved in commercial sex
experience negative effect even though they still make out from it. Lex
(1992), argued that, sex work has been identified as the core group for
transmission of HIV/AIDS and STD; Thus, they face discrimination
throughout the world.
Due to the diseases that befall these people
on daily basis, sex work has been considered a menace in the society and
also violence against humanity, (Lex, 1992). These negative effects
includes untimely death, frustration, unwanted pregnancy etc. one of the
major challenges is that, some of these sex workers are illiterates,
they neither attain seminars nor listen to news on television where they
could be enlightened on the risk of their work. These work has then,
become their life style, therefore, making it difficult for the
government to cope with.
In country like Nigeria, prostitution is
termed as deviance and unhealthy in the society. It is also a big
embarrassment to the government and the families who their youths are
involved in such acts, such families will lack their respect from people

This research work then, seeks to investigate the effects and causes of
commercial sex work among AkwaIbom girls.
