Sex Workers, Homeless & Suicides on the Rise Thanks to COVID-19 The lockdown has had so many ripple effects that it is just mind-numbing. Shutting down restaurants and retail stores have had already a profound impact. Many girls have been left with no choice but to turn to the sex trade. Some are engaging in physical contact while others are selling nude photos and videos to make money online. Generally, as waitresses and sales girls in malls and shops, they typically work part-time. As a result, they are not entitled to unemployment, no less healthcare. If they have no stable home-life to go back to, many are turning to the sex trade. Ironically, because of the massive loss of jobs, the potential client-base has also shrunk. At the same time, this is raising concerns for their safety as explained by the girl who is in the Sex Trade and explains in a TED Talk. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/civil-unrest/sex-workers/
