A lot of young girls, students start to prostitute themselves, for some pocket money, some to pay their studies or just to try because their girlfriends are doing it and telling them how easy it is to get some money. But when they prostitute and see how easy they can earn money, they stop studying and just go on with prostitution, as it is an easy way to earn some money.
Normally the government doesn’t allow prostitution in Mauritius but it seems to be tolerated even though they are trying to make of Mauritius an island without prostitution.
