Prostitutes Awka

Daily Earnings and Exit Pleas

Sex workers in Anambra State reportedly earn up to N40,000 daily in local brothels. A 24-year-old commercial sex worker in Awka, Philomena John (name withheld), has appealed for public help to fund her education and leave prostitution. Her plea comes amidst concerns about the industry’s visibility.

Government Crackdowns

The Anambra State Government recently shut down a brothel in Amawbia, Awka South LGA. Officials cited evidence of underage sex workers, drug dealing, and criminal activity within the establishment. This action highlights ongoing tensions between authorities and the sex trade in the region.

Rescue Operations and Systemic Challenges

Separately, Anambra police rescued nine underaged girls from another Awka brothel where they were allegedly being exploited as sex workers. Operations like these are part of broader efforts to combat illegal activities linked to some brothels. Philomena’s appeal underscores the complex challenges facing individuals seeking to exit the profession.
