.IN a move that left Nigerians stunned and wondering if the end time has come or just a case of civilization or globalization or all of the three, sex workers in Lagos held a march in Ikoyi, protesting their stigmatization and asking for the freedom to ply their trade. Sex work or prostitution has been an age long profession always plied in secrecy but recent happenings where they come out in broad daylight singing and dancing has kept tongues wagging and people asking if armed robbers would not come out one day to protest for their right and recognition as professionals too.
While the Sex Workers based in Abuja held their own march on the 17th of December to commemorate the International Day To End Violence Against Sex Workers, their counterparts in Lagos held theirs on the 3rd of March to commemorate the International Sex Workers Rights Day. The objective of these walks is to call the attention of Nigerians and the international community to the gross Human Rights violations against Sex Workers in the country. As a matter of fact, they now have an alliance with their counterparts in Africa and all over the world. While the African body is called ASW (African Sex Workers Alliance), there are many other bodies or association of sex workers with different names all over the world. Call it a labour union and you may not be far from the truth.
