    This documentary broke my heart. The pain and suffering these women endure just to survive is unimaginable, especially knowing they are trapped in such harsh conditions with little hope of escape. Seeing their resilience despite everything is overwhelming, yet their situation highlights a deep-rooted societal failure that we cannot continue to ignore. Tyson Conteh, your work is more than journalism; it is a voice for the voiceless, shining a light on the shadows we often avoid. Big up to you for your courage and dedication.

    • @chilekwak.chilekwaii4960
      @chilekwak.chilekwaii4960 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It should be empowerment of ALL citizens. Girls and boys! females and Males! Have you watched a documentary on drug & alcohol abuse among abused boys? They are conscripted into carrying out heinous acts on behalf of criminal gangs and are made to cash in every other night. Those going for days without cashing in are torched or killed or a member of their family is targeted and killed. This treatment makes them become tough and ruthless and you wouldn't want to meet them in the street nor wish that they met any of your family members.
      So, my take is, empower both boys and girls as a matter of life priority and you will have solved the problem. Empowering only the girls is a half baked solution...(My thoughts!)

    Individuals in the commercial sex industry often face a variety of mental health challenges due to the unique demands of their work. The ongoing stress, societal judgment, and traumatic experiences linked to this profession can severely impact their mental well-being. A key mental health issue many of these workers encounter is PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Numerous sex workers frequently experience violence, abuse, and exploitation, leading to significant psychological suffering. Thank you, Tyson, for highlighting their struggles, pain, and trauma. Their humanity deserves recognition! Excellent work!

It’s disheartening to witness so many women striving to raise their children alone. Where are the men in all of this? It’s truly frustrating! Amidst this turmoil, the journalist stands out as the hero of the day. Thank you for shedding light on these vital issues!

      There is a lot of things ro unpack here.
      1. Societal conditioning of women role to always have a child.
      2. Lack of access to good health care (some of this women might not even know what plan b and they might know and don'thave the money for it because keep in mind they are nit making that much and the main focus is to provide for the kids)
      4) abortion would be risky because it would be shrink involved, giving birth might be easier because they might just need the help of women around them who has experience about this things.

    Advice-If you are a young person who is financially insecure/born into poverty but still childless, try by all means necessary to avoid giving birth to offspring until you are in a better situation financially because you will end up in an even dire situation and also begin disadvantaging an extra person (your child) by bringing them into an uncanny situation where they can't have a decent life. Having more kids in such circumstances only exacerbates an already dire situation.

      Europe is not going to help. I’m born and raised here and very aware of my privilege, but my husband and I are saving up money to start a new life in somewhere in Africa. It’s time for us European Africans to move back and rebuild our countries. We need our people and our people need us. The Europeans ruined Africa for centuries and they still are. Meanwhile they HATE us here in the Netherlands, Germany, France and so on.

    As a Canadian, This is why when it comes to refugees and I was in charge, I’d let the woman stay under strict rules of protection for them and there children under 5, I’d give them 5 years for education to read and write and medical care for them to stand on their own two feet. After the 5 years they will have to a choice of staying with no contact with husbands or pimps, if they want to go back they need to teach the future generation how to read and write and to know how to have safe sex and choices they will face. I hope these woman get the help they need. To give back to Canada they will have to teach girls here the ways of Africa, how to be a community and to give there daughters a chance to learn.
