Prostitution is the business or practice of engaging in sexual relations in exchange for money.
It is a form of sexual exploitation and is illegal in Northern Ireland under the Human Trafficking and Exploitation (Criminal Justice and Support for Victims) Act (Northern Ireland) 2015.
Women who become engaged in prostitution find that they are trapped as they become reliant on the money or are forced to continue because there is another person in control of the prostitution and the woman has no choice.
