Prostitution if legalised they stated, will enable them operate freely and not being harassed by security personnel.

They are also promising to vote massively for any presidential candidate that will heed to their concerns.

A representative of the aggrieved sex workers in an interview with Obuasi-based Shaft FM Mama Sweet explained that if government legalises prostitution, it will help them make proper savings adding that monies generated from their night work is not enough due to the time limit.

She promised to vote for the Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) if it legalises prostitution.

‘We want government to legalise prostitution by giving us licenses to operate, so that we can work morning, afternoon and evening. Some of us were introduced into prostitution by our friends due to lack of financial support from family members,’ she stated.
