Child Prostitution Up in Kenya

CNN reports on the rise in child prostitution following post-election violence in Kenya. This is particularly devastating to read:

"We use condoms most of the time," said Milka Muthoni, 17, who was nearly finished with secondary school when she dropped out this year. "I know it's a risky business. At times I have gone to the hospital with injuries and venereal diseases. But I have no other options."

Milka, who also lives in Eldoret, said her parents kicked her out when they learned she was a prostitute.

Increase in child prostitution, associated inconsistent use in condoms, and a reduction in female education rates. Civil wars and violence in developing countries set into motions devastation one may not immediately think of.
