ETHIOPIA: Increased condom use among sex workers but more education needed

ADDIS ABABA, (PlusNews) - With non-skilled jobs in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, paying as little as US$16 per month, the financial incentives to engage in commercial sex work are overwhelming - earning 30 times a domestic worker’s salary.

Many of the women entering into sex work in Addis are rural migrants who have failed to secure formal employment, or are escaping poor-paying jobs in the city or unwanted marriages in the country, according to a 2008 article published by the UK's Royal Geographical Society.

Teguest, a 16-year-old girl from Gonder, a town 700km northwest of Addis Ababa, fled to the capital four months ago after the death of her parents and a dispute with her brothers.

The relative she contacted in the capital was already engaged in sex work, so the decision to enter the trade was an easy one. Teguest charges 10 Ethiopian Birr or $0.80 per client and has sex with as many as 20 men a day in her tiny room; she is adamant that under no circumstances would she have unprotected sex.

"No, I would not do that for any money. I need my life," she said. "They sometimes offer 200 Birr [$16] and beg me, but life is more important than money."

Teguest says in the past four months, at least 10 men have asked her for unprotected sex at a higher fee.

The good news, according to research by Wise-UP - a condom-promotion project implemented by local NGO Timret Le Hiwot and funded by social marketers DKT-Ethiopia - is that 99 percent of sex workers in 42 Ethiopian cities said they used a condom with their last paying partner, compared with 91 percent in 2002.

Shame factor

But according to health workers, not all sex workers are as fastidious about condom use as they claim. When Abeje Israel, monitoring and evaluation officer at Wise-Up, posed as a paying customer for random surveys, some women did agree to have sex without a condom for a higher fee.

A 2006 study published in the British Medical Journal found that results of sex worker studies obtained using surveys and questionnaires may be biased as they will not always reveal the truth because of "pride, fear, or shame".

"They may say that they do not have sex without a condom, but the reality may be different; they may pretend and not show the real circumstances," Abeje said.

"All these [sex] workers are very vulnerable," he added. "They are not very powerful and they receive a very small sum of money; if you offer them more money, they may be willing to have sex without a condom."

Education vital

Further investigation makes it clear that the city's sex workers still need education on protecting themselves from sexually transmitted infections.

Meron, 25, also says she would never have sex without a condom, but added that she took the “precaution” of insisting her clients used two condoms - a practice roundly advised against as it increases the chances of a condom tearing.

Low levels of education and alcohol use also affect the likelihood of female sex workers using condoms, according to a study by Addis Ababa University.

Wise-UP aims to achieve 100 percent condom use among sex workers in the capital, which has an HIV prevalence rate of 7.5 percent, almost four times the national average of 2.1 percent.

Criminalisation won't stop it, it will just drive it underground and leave the girls with nowhere to turn if they are abused or in trouble. You'll never stop sex but you can stop the spread of HIV.

Is there any way to eliminate sex worker totally??????

I fell they die already while they are alive... It is sad... I wish God could give me power or means to help them.

Can the government do something to eliminate sex jobs? Can church and mosque do somethings? something! something that makes ethiopia better.
Something that makes ethiopian girls productive and self supporters

Something beteer than this dirty job.
Please God help them!!! Open their eye please. Better to die, but they already die. Their life is meangless.
Oh God Please help them.

Faked peoples, you did not know the responsibility of the government yet. Stupid!!

If TPLF regime create job, give an access to education, facilities for their own small business and etc, they can not enter in to sex worker. So, at least it is possible to reduce.

But TPLF groups use them for their sex satisfaction. Thus, they need a more and verities of sex worker for wide range of choice as too some of their Diaspora supporters.

The article and the title doesn't go together.
The sex workers are prostitute whores and you
see them any where in the states or addis. The
fact we tend to say it's because this young girls are
so poor and that is the only type of job they can do and
condom is needed to do their job. Hahaha really amazing
story. If you are a prostitute a guy or a lady please use condoms....whores please start to use them...let's brain wash them.
The ugly untold story is condom is like umbrella you still can get wet!!!!!
Please people wake up and smell what is cooking...it doesn't take a lot to be safe:-)

Whoever is there to blame for the fact still remains citizens of this land are still dying because of lack of self-esteem. Our guys are damn enough to pay more cash for
Unprotected sex, do you want to accuse only TPLF for these self-centered actions of our moron brothers and fathers.

My concern is for the girl, what are the chances that the condom will busted for a girl who is having sex at least with 20 different guys a day???????? How safe are we talking about?????????

May God protect her as she deserves!!! For the judgment, I will leave it up to him.

Look here is our problem. Most of us in diaspora don't know that the weyane cadres come to different Ethiopian websites and write anything to defend their party, divert our focus, and divide us. That's their full time job and they get paid. If you write anything against woyane, they consider you as shabia, oneg, terrorist, etc. They don't even let us write our constructive criticism. They use different parties names and write something which makes us irritate in order to divert our focus. Therefore, let's unite and don't waste our precious time by responding for their shit.

Prostitusion is the oldest profession of human kind dated back to 10000 years back Bc.
ethiopia has got it from ARABS during the Queen Shaba. But todays prostitusion has increased dramatically since the day WEyannes came to power and the nr. of Charity and NGO increased in the city.
Well. do not surprise that Weyannes are EXPORTING women to ARAB coutries as a SEX industry...just visit Dubai..you will find a shabia and Weyannes Hores wearing golds with body sold last night.

Thats true and I really agreed with you.Woyane have no solutions for the country and no have a dignity at all to represent Ethiopia.

They never admit any wrong doing while they are in charge the country and ribbing off the whole country like the east Africa's locust,they are in every where and finished the whole region.It must be stopped these rates of woyane.

Look their messed of 18years what created? The famine and all chaotic wars is their mismanagement and lack of the capabilities were the roots of this all mess.

Woyane have no any human values,I don't know their next generations,but these shit of all X ignorant TPLF rebels,were no having of hopes to cure from the traumas of Mengestu's brutal air force bombardments.So,they were from the begging all crazy,wounded and mentality traumatized veteran rebel fighters who lacked the capability of leading a huge country like Ethiopia.

A democracy!where and when did they TPLF rebels learn it?Who teach it them? Might be Issiah?the father of all rebles?

I knew knew from the beginning,the rebels can't handling the huge work that Ethiopia needs.Thus after eighteen years,the Ethiopian children and mothers dying for lack food were on the TV screens!

What would the so called " a very strict and swift steps" be addis zemen is talking about?
Cutting the penis of all men Or euthanizing all men in the country?
Come on! Tell us what is on your mind!

Tsiyon [Visitor] suggests:
"Buying sex should be criminalized"
But she forgot to tell us how she is going to put into practice her opinion.
How about selling it?
Adultery is condemned by all religions, at least as I Know.

One can easily see the short comings and danger of ETHNIC CENTERD POLITICS from the following:

It is such a degrading thing to prostitute; I am not sure if these ladies of the night are doing it for survival (which I doubt) or they are doing it for fast money and show it off

In this small hotel near Addis University where the majority of my group was staying, there was two of these ladies of the night who made the hotel their "Camp" and during one of our heated conversation with them we asked them why not do something else - whoring is a humiliating job, in fact my group leader was about to offer them a job at a company owned by one of his brothers. To our utter astonishment one of them said - "how much the job is paying? Can your brother afford to pay 175 birr a day?" With this kind of impertinence, we asked them if this is what they are making a day? and one of them said in a slow day I make easily over 200 Birrs. Of course we have to ask them how many men they sleep with - and the one who was very proud of what she was doing said " And Tassa Wuha Lemiyatebew"...
When Sunday comes, these indecent ladies of the night transform themseves into pious women by covering their head with "N'Tela" and wearing long skirt to attend mass after a night of orgy.

With this kind of insidious mentality, in a city or a country where all that matters is money and how fast a person get it - a city where the majority of its inhabitants have lost their soul just to be rich and show it off.. We conclude the conversation and wished them all the luck ..

Just across from that hotel in a front store where were University gratuated who were typing "that ubiquitous Mamel Kesha" We asked them how much they are making and they said - 4 to 7 dollars a day - the owner of the store get 50% and we are talking about a store where rain water was leaking from one side of the roof and the room was not adequately lighted.

So, there are ladies that earn money the old fashion way by working hard and unfortunately there are women who are not ashamed to sell their bodies. Unfortunately, in Ethiopia there is no social stigma against prostitution, I guess it is up to the ladies to choose to be a whore or not. But once again it has nothing to do with the Government. I am sure durinf Haile era prostitution was also rampant.
I believe it is not even a survival - it is greed and loosing self respect.

Way before Eprdf, there was sex for money... everywhere. In fact, sex is abundunt everywhere and if some fool wants to pay for it, it is good for the economy. More employement, more spending... LOL!!!

Seriously dudes, this is one thing we can not blame Meles for. AIDS medication is free and unrestricted. One amen to the banda Meles and Co., and if some fool wants to fak with out condoms... well, its his funeral.

one of the biggest barriers to Africa's turnaround aspirations is not prostitution or war, it's this very attitude that we are readily exhibiting in this forum.
The dirty old perverts want to promote "safe sex" regardless of the fact that the underage girls employed can very well be their daughters.
Of course none surely as surreal as the wacko Muslim [Save Life] who blames Christianity for this mess. I wonder if he's ever been to Dahka, Bangladish where 98% Muslims live where teen prostitution is rampant. How about Jakharta, Indonesia... don't even get me started about Dubai. A bunch of grotesquely superficial fakes!

Why is that poor Gurage girls find themselves a job but those who come from the north opt to prostitution? Is there something cultural thing going on her? I am just wondering.

In lights of AIDS prevalence in Ethiopia, protection is good for safety of self or others but what can one do when her mother country is invaded by inferiority complexed mafia, creating misery, invading neighborhoods and confisicating wealth?

Down with looters from Abay Tigrai, the source of dispair and homelessness!

This situation (sex issue),needs to get a very strong attention by the health department. Sex is not an excuse for economy. This Admin. has to do something to avoid the worst catastrophe. It is already in bad situation. people,especially are coming from different part of the world to the country,they are the one who poisoned the under privileged teenagers with this deadly disease. The other criminals are the citizen of this country.

what wayane has to do with prostitution. Prostitution is the oldest profession of the world. Regardless of the best economy or the richness of the society there is always somewhere somehow laying down for money. We can reduce prostitution but there is no way society can eleminate it.

The Ethiopian Government needs to have a huge educational campaign on HIV. They need to make sure that all 80million people know what HIV is, how it is spread, and best preventative measures. Research has shown that countries like Ethiopia have high rate of HIV infection because a parent will have risky unprotected sex and not inform his wife. He will then sleep with his wife infecting her, and then she will in turn pass it on to her children. In most cases the whole family is wiped out. That is where we should target our campaigned. Marriage is a big deal in Ethiopia, so these married men (and sometimes women) need to know that they are not putting their own lives at risk but their entire family’s lives at risk. The women should know also that if you’re aware of your husband’s risky behaviour, it is your DUTY to get far away from him and take your kids.

I also think the stigma of pre-marital sex needs to be addressed. Listen, it would be great to live in a country where everyone waits to get married before they have sex, but that is not the reality. These young men need to have an alternative to paying 10birr to be one of 20 men to sleep with one girl. We should try to gage the young to committed singular relationships, so you want to have sex fine, get a girlfriend or boyfriend and stick to ONE partner. I am not saying these are the duties of TPLF alone but all the NGOs and all Ethiopians to talk to their kids about sex openly and in a mature matter. I know you guys are reading what I wrote and thinking this is common sense but just remember less then two years ago the Health Minister of South Africa said AIDS can be treated with “lemon, beet root, and garlic”.

Amhara women are whores by nature. Even is South Ethiopia the whores are Amhara not Dorze or the other Southern nationalities.
Amharas have the largest number of whores per capita in Africa.

Someone has tried to compare a hard working Gurage girl to the girl which comes from North and is engaged in prostitution.

The difference is vivid and clear.
While the Gurage girl a hard working muslim (submitted herself to Akllah), the one from North is so enslaved by the material world(submitted herself to money).

Allahu Akbar

Prostitution has two faces and money is at the bottom root of it all. There is the "obvious" street worker prostitutes and the more camouflaged prostitution; dating/being in marriage decisions solely made to only be involved with wealthy person. Which type hooker are you?:>> Third angle trajectory, prostitution doesn't necessarily and exclusively involve sex but, can also be misuse of talent for gain. ከ ሞራል prostitutes ይጠብቀን there's no condom for that.:))

Ethio's culture has been entrenched with sex outside wed-lock. Family is a corner stone of a society and when the moral fabric of the society erodes and becomes in deplorable condition (as it was exhibited with vast number of men)the futile result of it is bastardized children. Not only does this contribute with the staggering exponential increase in population, but also the inability to provide and care for the unwanted child. So what does this got to to do the subject line thread? here is where condom comes to picture . "use condom not to condemn a child." we have enough "diqualas" runnin' around with identity crisis taking no for answer. :lalala:

Hey, you, habesha... whats'up? no sense of humor... eh? are u saying sex is bad? If so I feel sorry for you.

1) I do not pay for the stuff. I get plenty for free and like I said if some fool wants to spend$$s on it, who am I to judge?
2) HIV was around way before Woyane.
3) Credit should be given when due. Woyane did a great job with educating and getting the pills to where they should.

Why re you having a problem with that habeshye, yene habesha?

Is your mind set up for productive things...? What the hell does that mean... u little habesha u?
