They will pay extra to sleep with a virgin.
Young girls are widely looked for by customers. Some programs will come into the brothel undercover to provide condoms, but the sexual workers are not allowed to use them unless the customer allows it. At the brothel they will be drugged so that they give into the industry and will work all day long. They might be sold by their families because they cannot afford raising them, or sold to pay off a family debt. Kristof and Wudunn visit brothels to better understand this industry. Prostitution is prevalent in developing countries. Half the Sky focuses on prostitution, rape, education, maternal mortality, genital mutilation, micro-credit, and solutions in developing countries. The title comes from the 1968 statement by Mao Zedong" 妇女能顶半边天", meaning "women hold up half the sky", though the authors cite it only as a "Chinese proverb". The book argues that the oppression of women worldwide is "the paramount moral challenge" of the present era, much as the fight against slavery was in the past. Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide is a nonfiction book by husband and wife team Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn published by Knopf in September 2009.
