Families turn to prostitution/child labor for food

Harare - Serious shortages of food in parts of Zimbabwe have forced some families to resort to prostitution and child labour, a United Nations report said on Thursday.

The monthly humanitarian situation report said many households were relying on "negative coping mechanisms such as child labour and prostitution as food shortages worsen across the country".

Others raised money to buy food through the sale of livestock, illegal gold panning or selling traditional beer brewed from wild fruit, it said.

I've personally seen children sold by their parents into prostitution/labor in Asia.
