    Also don’t forget how many of these women are already struggling with mental health issues.

    In the USA, if you are on disability, you are effectively barred from saving money.

    I know of plenty of disabled women who turn to sex work to be able to pay the bills since their meager disability check is not enough to effectively live off. It is all under the table so they essentially just don’t report the earnings.

    So many of these women really don’t need the added awfulness of being a sex worker in their lives, but do it out of necessity of a broken system.
