Hope for young hookers
By CP
PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. -- Youth workers hope new
provincial programs will reduce the city's growing number of
young prostitutes.
Deryl Brin, who runs a support program for sexually exploited
youth at the city's Native Friendship Centre, says there are
prostitutes as young as 11 on the streets. Some even younger are
sold from their homes, she adds.
"They're often introduced to the lifestyle at an early age," says
colleague Mary Clifford, director of health services at the
friendship centre.
The province has agreed to fund a full-time outreach worker for
sexually exploited youth, and a safe house where they can stay.
Joanne, who's worked the streets of Prince George for 26 years,
estimates there are more than 100 prostitutes aged nine and up in
the area.
"It's like a war zone out there," she says. "Hatred has developed
between the police and working boys and girls who are just
trying to survive."
