The purpose of this book is to capture an insiders' view on sex work in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa. While most of the case stories focus on female sex-workers, it also contains stories of promiscuous sex e.g. pre-marital multiple sexual partnerships and extra-marital affairs, university students, civil servants, older women, and married partners. Nonetheless, the reader will readily and pleasantly learn more about the sex-worker's position than is known to the average non-reader. If my labors induce the concerned reader to improve the appalling sex-workers life circumstances, I trust, s/he will become a solution seeker and master of much more gender activist than the ordinary citizen. This book is indeed a legacy which I bequeath to everyone concerned to help sex-workers stop working out their own death.
