Since 1979, there has been a threefold increase in the number of children who live below the poverty line in Britain. One in five are now brought up in such circumstances. The removal of benefit entitlements from 16 and 17 year olds, and the related increase in homelessness, has inevitably left some young people more vulnerable to those who offer them money or shelter in return for sex. An increasing number of people who live in poverty feel driven into prostitution and see no alternatives. In addition, numerous studies have identified strong links between prostitution and sexual abuse. Many, but not all, of those working as prostitutes would wish not to be involved.
