Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 26 September 2019 and 9 December 2019. Further details are available

Should be cut out. Transactional Sex takes place in most impoverished places of the world and sexually transmitted diseases run rampant in those places as well. Singling out Sub-Saharan Africa seems a bit lacking in objectivity and subjective singling out of an entire ethnicity. — Preceding

You have a point that the article is currently unbalanced. The article's sources currently include eight focussing on Africa, so it is hardly surprising that there is a lot of emphasis in the text on Africa. It would make sense to address this problem by expanding the non-African content. Hoefinger's work on Cambodia is cited and could be used as a start to do this. Other sources are available concerning other countries. It does not seem sensible to try and address this problem by deleting well-sourced text which amounts to over half of what is currently a start-class article. -

The article fundamentally stigmatises Africans , Unfortunately there are few reports regarding high income country transactional sex , for example sex work in the USA which 1 million undertake , an edit to that effect was removed for discussing Africa outside the context of Africa , rather than as was intended discussing the examples raised outside of Africa and in a high income country , edits were also submitted referencing research regarding China and India , and were removed why ? The fact this article exists in the form it does is distressing

Hope the section is removed or this edit stays the same : Is similar to everywhere else . I'm African British , been to West Africa , live in UK , If the Woman I liked who once bought me a drink expected something in return , I might have done , that doesn't mean it's cultural to British men , nor that it's not to men from elsewhere
