Abstract

After the ban imposed on prostitution in the year 2000 by the Government of Sokoto State, brothels have again sprung up in some areas in Sokoto. This study sought to understand the factors that push young female adults into prostitution. The study revealed that poverty, forced marriage, family frustration, peer group influence, satisfaction of sexual desires, and drug addiction are the factors that push young female adults into prostitution in Sokoto.
