"The Price of Survival Sex" Balto. Sun 11/4/07

Journalist: "The fact that she is still here at 45 years old is remarkable."

(more excerpts)

"The women are engaged in a relentless, dangerous struggle, not only for drugs but for the necessities of life. It could be for money, food or clothing. It could be for cigarettes, drugs, anything."

Authors Note: (my note)

I never resorted to selling my body to survive. But since I have lived through some extreme poverty, I have no judgements for the women who do.
