      abstract = {Ethiopia has become to the Arab world what Thailand is to  European tourists. Prostitution in Ethiopia has increased  incredibly in recent years. In one section of Addis Ababa,  some 130,000 girls support themselves by selling their  bodies. Most of them are under eighteen, and many even  under fourteen. In this probing documentary we meet the  victims, girls that have been orphaned, or thrown out by  their family, or are hoping to find a better life. They are  compelled to turn to prostitution to survive. The young  ones, like nine-year-old Yashwarek, don t even earn enough  money to buy food. The older ones earn more, about $2 a  night, but yearn to work the luxury hotels as high class  prostitutes. Virtually all the girls are HIV positive.  Condoms are seldom used, even though they are distributed  free in many places. Customers, believing the youngest  girls are HIV-free, seek them out, which in term keeps  lowering the age of girls becoming HIV infected. Some  attempts by agencies are being made to help these girls,  but they face heavy odds.},
