From my experiences in both Beijing and Moscow, this is very familiar.

Thank you for sharing this essay Professor Adekunle. I'm glad you released it and it was definitely worth the wait!

As always, your writing stands out. What I really appreciate is the effort you put into making it both educational and interesting to read. This topic is very relevant and the term "accidental prostitute" is a powerful one, suggesting that sometimes people find themselves in these circumstances due to factors outside of their personal choice. It’s a reminder of the inequalities that continue to exist in today's society and as a previous commenter mentioned, this issue seems to be happening globally.

Looking forward to more insightful reads like this!
