It Pays - Cash - To Be A Virgin in South Africa

While in some places around the world girls dispense of their virginity for cash, in South Africa, girls are paid to keep theirs. The payment is described as a scholarship intended to help girls who are virgins attain higher education. The reason for doing this appears to be the need to curb the spread of HIV and AIDS in the country. It is thought that if the girls are encouraged to remain virgins through such scholarship schemes, the spread of the virus will be arrested. It is however not clear what is done to the men who are responsible for taking away the virginity of these young girls. The assumption here seems to be that the girls are responsible for the spread of HIV and AIDS in South Africa but the history of the spread of the virus in that country appears to suggest otherwise.

It is a tough world for women out there. The sale of the female body for cash happens whether one remains or virgin or embarks on the oldest profession.
