What a coincidence seeing this story! Although much more barbaric there is otherwise no difference. Women need food, shelter, medicine, clothing, they go freely and by their own choice to trade sex...you got money...here it is folks! The amount of money has nothing to do with it. It's about trading sex for money! Read-er-n-weep fellers! I will have nothing more to say on this subject...I am right, you are wrong, thank you very much! And don't blow a fuse if I don't respond to any ridiculous theory or explanation as to why the situations are different.
AND PLEASE READ THE WHOLE STORY WHERE IT SPEAKS OF "WOMEN" NOT GIRLS.
NAIROBI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - African Union (AU) peacekeepers in Somalia routinely pay teenage girls for sex, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Monday.
The rights group said most of the incidents took place on AMISOM bases in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, where women come for medical care and to beg for food.
SEX FOR FIVE DOLLARS
HRW also interviewed 14 displaced women and girls selling sex to AMISOM soldiers for around $5 a day. Sexual exploitation – the abuse of power or trust for sexual purposes – is in violation of their code of conduct.
The sex trade on AMISOM bases appears "routine and organized", HRW said.
"Somali women having paid sex with soldiers have been able to obtain AMISOM badges allowing them easy access in and out of what should be highly secure military zones," the report said.
Only two out of the 21 women and girls interviewed filed a complaint, for fear of reprisals, HRW said, while those having sex for money did not want to lose their main source of income.
"We take all allegations against AU Troops in Somalia very seriously, especially allegations of sexual abuse," AMISOM’s spokesman Eloi Yao told Thomson Reuters Foundation in an email.
"Any AMISOM personnel found guilty of any such crimes will be dealt with appropriately."
