WORK
ABSTRACT
The rising
wave of incidence of commercial sex work has given serious concern to the
government, parents, health workers and the society. The causes and effects of
commercial sex work among AkwaIbom girls in Uyo Local Government is the main
concern of this study. The study seeks to find out the possible ways in which
the problem of commercial sex work can be eradicated in the society. The study
was empirically conducted where data was obtained through the primary and
secondary sources. Instrument for data collection was questionnaire. Data was
collected and analysed with simple percentage while the hypothesis stated were
tested with percentage(%). The result in hypothesis one showed that, commercial
sex work has implication on our general sexual health or wellbeing, that is the
act of sex work has a negative effect on our sexual being. This hypothesis was
accepted. In hypothesis two, which states that sex work is more likely to be
caused by poverty. Based on the result, hypothesis two was therefore not accepted.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background Of The Study
Commercial
sex is basically sex for money. It is not restricted to any culture, its global
and it transcends all age barriers as some cases girls as young as eight years
are involved. Commercial sex has evolved over the last two decades, (National
Behaviour Survey 2004). According to the National Behaviour Survey (2004),
commercial sex work has indeed become complex in different ways as there are
male sex workers in Nigeria who have sex with men for commercial reasons and
there is an organization0 that support them which based in Ibadan, Oyo state.
Commercial
sex has particularly taken a worrisome and indeed despicable turn on the
continent through trafficking in person and violation of people’s human right
and these have become major issues in West Africa (Human Right Action, 1997).
In recent time, commercial sex has become a lucrative business in Nigeria
especially among the youths (Ikpe, 2008). Research has it that, 31% of sex
workers are students particularly in Nigeria institutions (Onah, 2000). Onah
(2000), is of the view that, there are different forms of sex workers, those
that stay in the brothels, those that stand on the road side, those that
operate from home etc.
Furthermore,
sex work has now become an occupation especially for the girls in countries
like Netherland, Brazil, Norway etc, sex work serves as one of the sources of
revenue for government, hence, taxes are paid to the government (Aday, 1990).
Aday further says that, sex workers face systematic discrimination throughout
the world and are therefore, at risk of variety of abuses, these include police
extortion, arbitrary detention and other. Violations of their human and labour
rights which in some cases even amount to slavery.
In Nigeria,
sex work is an illegal business because, the law prohibits its, but no active
action has really been taken against it by the government (Onah, 2000). In
AkwaIbom State particularly, Uyo local government, commercial sex workers can
be found in hotels, bars, brothels and on the street, (Onah, 2000). Despite the
efforts made by the government and other private organization to eradicate sex
work in Uyo, it has rather grown to become one of the outstanding social
problems that have really apprehended the people of Uyo (Onah, 2000). It is on
this background that, this research work attempts to find a possible way of
coping with this problem.
1.2
Statement Of The Problem
The people
involved in commercial sex experience negative effect even though they still
make out from it. Lex (1992), argued that, sex work has been identified as the
core group for transmission of HIV/AIDS and STD; Thus, they face discrimination
throughout the world.
Due to the
diseases that befall these people on daily basis, sex work has been considered
a menace in the society and also violence against humanity, (Lex, 1992). These
negative effects includes untimely death, frustration, unwanted pregnancy etc.
one of the major challenges is that, some of these sex workers are illiterates,
they neither attain seminars nor listen to news on television where they could
be enlightened on the risk of their work. These work has then, become their
life style, therefore, making it difficult for the government to cope with.
In country
like Nigeria, prostitution is termed as deviance and unhealthy in the society.
It is also a big embarrassment to the government and the families who their
youths are involved in such acts, such families will lack their respect from
people in the society no matter their position in the society, (Onah, 2000).
This research work then, seeks to investigate the effects and causes of
commercial sex work among AkwaIbom girls.
