Prostitutes Gwaram

The 30-Day Ultimatum

Gwaram Local Government Area in Jigawa State has escalated its crackdown on commercial sex workers by issuing a 30-day ultimatum. Sex workers must either vacate the area or face forced marriage arrangements. This drastic measure forms part of broader efforts to combat prostitution and related vices across the council area.

Legislative Measures and Enforcement

Simultaneously, a new police unit has been established to tackle social crimes through alternative approaches. The council has enacted legislation banning brothels, nightclubs, and alcohol sales to reinforce these restrictions. These policies align with recent convictions for sexual offenses in Jigawa, including life sentences for rape and sodomy cases.

Controversies and Challenges

Local authorities defend the ultimatum as necessary for moral restoration, though critics question its feasibility and human rights implications. Enforcement challenges arise as some online platforms continue advertising escort services in Gwaram despite the ban. The council maintains that traditional marriage provides the only permissible alternative to expulsion for sex workers operating within its jurisdiction.
