Afghanistan - Lives of women - Sex worker in burkha

Nasima, 32. I started sex work six years ago. My husband is in Iran and one of my friends introduced me to some clients. My target was to earn money. My husband doesn't know the work I do. If he knew he would divorce me. Yes I am afraid he will find out. He thinks I work in a beauty parlour. It is not a good thing to do this work. I want to stop. We are afraid of the police. If they catch us they put us in the court or they release us if we pay. Sometimes they ask for $1,000. I earn 6,000 to 10,000 Afghanis in a week - I have three to four clients. I know the clients so they are not violent towards me, they are safe. Before we didn't use condoms but after we went to the clinic, now we do.
