While perceived as a safer alternative to street-based prostitution, the ease of transitioning from the digital space to the streets has become a pressing concern.
The allure of higher profits and increased financial stability often tempts individuals to venture into riskier territories.
The impact of this industry on Nairobi's social fabric cannot be overlooked.
The increasing number of girls entering prostitution reflects deep-rooted socioeconomic challenges, including limited employment opportunities and the pursuit of financial stability.
It calls for a comprehensive response that empowers girls through education, vocational training, and job creation initiatives to provide alternative paths to economic advancement.
Furthermore, the emergence of high-profile clients and the immense profitability of the trade highlights the urgent need for stricter law enforcement and policies to combat human trafficking, protect vulnerable individuals, and dismantle the networks that perpetuate exploitation.
