The Swaziland economy is currently so terrible that roughly 50% of all youths in the country are unemployed. This forces many young girls into a life of prostitution in order to eat and cloth themselves. One girl, Nelsie (not her real name) became a prostitute after her parents died in a car accident. She says she needs to service at least 10 every week just earn enough to feed herself. Sometimes she sleeps with up to 5 or 6 men a day.
She prefers that the customers use condoms, since she got HIV when she was raped. She believes that her country isn't trying hard enough to fix the terrible economy and she says she will die in this job. "Right now I don't feel that I am a human being," she told the reporter.
Swaziland is currently looking to the South Africans to give them a $355,000,000 bailout, but until then, the country doesn't have any solutions to their terrible economic problem.
