A 48 year old activist, Ms Patoo Abraham has led a protest to demand that prostitution be legalized in Nigeria. Ms Abraham who is also the head of the Nigerian chapter of African Sex Workers Alliance (ASWA) said, “Sex work is work, we need our rights. We are tired of dying in silence, we want to be able to practice our profession with pride like every other person. We want an end to name-calling and stigmatization. We are sex workers and not asawo.” She stated further that sex work is normal work and that there are “sex workers everywhere under one form of disguise or the other”. “Government should stop criminalizing our work,” said the woman who is also the president of the Women of Power Initiative (WOPI), a non-governmental organisation established to advance the cause of sex work in Nigeria.
