Erratic Power Supply is Affecting Commercial Sex Workers

Erratic Power Supply is

Affecting Commercial Sex

Workers’ Business in Ghana

Some commercial sex workers in Accra, Ghana are unhappy

because inconsistent power supply is spoiling their

business.

According to omg Ghana, 32 sex workers revealed their

displeasure about the situation.

Many of the women interviewed reportedly conduct their

trade at Toppers , a popular brothel at St. John’s near Dome

in Accra.

This is what some of them told reporters:

“I find myself in an emotional frenzy when the dumsor

comes…night is a hateful agent with its accompanying

social vices like armed robbery and serial killing of women.

These things scare me. And I know the men are also

scared. So, it throws our business out of balance, and

makes everything basaa,” said Gloria .

Another commercial sex worker named Joyce, who is 19

years old said “From where we stand, the dumsor means

you can’t see anything on the street; the customers cannot

see what we look like. Why would they bother to come?”

Others complained that their high-profile clients like

ministers, businessmen, and members of parliament do not

like conducting their business when there is no power, as it

gets hot, and the environment stops becoming conducive for

them.

“For instance, if he wants to go for marathon, like all-night

sex orgy, how do you do it in the heat? You can just imagine

how the two of you will be sweating profusely without a

fan,” said Afia .
