However, while working as an escort may be safe in theory, it is definitely not without its risks. For one thing, many of these girls are using their services as a way to get out of poverty or abuse situations at home. As such, they are often extremely vulnerable to exploitation by their clients. Moreover, there have been reports of some unscrupulous operators funneling girls into prostitution through escort agencies. In such cases, the girls may be completely unaware of what is happening to them.
