This episode contains description of violence and sex. ___________________________________________________________________________

Two women in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, have spoken to the BBC about how they got drawn into the underground world of sex work. Both say they became caught in a world of parties and drugs and felt they had few options open to them after being forced to leave home as young women. In Somalia’s conservative society, women are usually expected to live at home until marriage. The sex workers – who were featured in a BBC Africa online article – describe their ongoing fear of assault and rape. They say they can’t approach the authorities if they’re attacked. For Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja listens to their accounts, and speaks to the journalists behind the report.
