    This study examined the impact of prostitution in Ekosodin community Egor local government
    area of Edo State. In conducting the study, a sample size of one hundred and fifty respondents
    were randomly selected from the population. The survey design was adopted for this study.
    To collect the needed data and information, a questionnaire was designed in line with the
    research questions. The method of data collection included the questionnaire, in-depth
    interview and secondary records which essentially included documents relating to the impact
    of prostitution. Data were analyzed by means of tables, frequency distribution and
    percentages. The study recommend that: females should be given equal social, economic and
    political opportunities so that they can easily settle themselves in society and their
    dependency on males can be reduced, Government and Civil Society organizations should
    target all sides of demand of prostitution, Supply is always generated to cope with demand,
    every state in the world has laws prepared regarding trafficking, kidnap, compulsion,
    physical attack and sexual assault, All governments, NGOs, and religious communities
    should spotlight on plummeting the demand for sufferers of sex trafficking and sex work.
