I read the complete article in the Guardian newspaper. Everyone should
read it to understand why ladies engage in this business. I think there
will be less need for this type of work is the economy was better and there
were safety nets for less fortunate women (especially single mothers ) in
our society. If a woman's husband dies and she does not have marketable
skills how will she survive in Naija? If a young, poor but ambitious lady wants
a university education what will she do? In some countries there are student
loans but here in Nigeria I do not know of any loans for poor students.
I refuse to condemn anyone for being a sex worker!

My concern is their safety. Sex workers are usually victims of abusive people who
think of them as sub-human. Even the police seldom act to protect sex workers.
I think sex workers should be given the same protections as other citizens.
The public attitude towards prostitutes and stigma will never go away. Reason
is that our society look down on sex workers.

The march is more for acceptance than "rights". The sex workers are saying
to the public, "..do not pretend we do not exist, we are your daughters,
children, wives, sisters, mothers, and family. Treat us as human...with
dignity and respect"
I hope they succeed in their quest  for recognition and "rights".

 The issue of prostitution in Naija is surrounded by hypocrisy. Go to all the communities and the major cities in Nigeria, you would find brothels everywhere, and clubs where sex workers ply their trade. There is hardly any community that you would not find a brothel these in Nigeria especially the major cities and men patronize them and still come out to condemn the sex workers. The worst men are the Nigerian police who go on late nights raids whenever they need some  cash and they arrest the girls so that they can collect money from them.
In many developed countries, prostitution is no longer illegal. It is the hypocritical illegality and stigmatization that will attach to the sex workers that give the police legal right to harass them and extort money from them. Yet, many of our so-called responsible men patronize them in bars, clubs or brothels. What should be done is to accept the reality that these trade won't go away but it can be minimized. what we-should do is re-habilitate the sex workers and protect them from harassment. Manage them so that they can practice safe sex and ensure that those that are willing to live the trade are able to find work and live a normal life.
