The Founder of House of Prayer Church in Koforidua Bishop Yaw Adu has called on the local Churches to mobilize resources to embark on evangelism and skill training programs for commercial sex workers in brothels.
Media investigation by Obed Kojo Ansah has revealed damming sex trafficking activities in Koforidua the Eastern regional capital involving young Nigerian girls and other nationals.
The Bula spot and Little Ben brothels are two major facilities that accommodate the trafficked girls who are sexually exploited.
Reacting to the expose’, Bishop Yaw Adu who is Patron of the Local Council of Churches and founder of the House of Prayer church believes worsening economic situations in Ghana and Africa at large is fueling the commercial sex activities and sex trafficking hence the need for churches to intervene through mission work.
He said the commercial sex workers need to be preached to accept Christ while supporting them to learn vocational skills.
He said there are a lot of young ladies in Koforidua who engage in similar acts and need support.
Bishop Yaw Adu appealed to the government to also embark on deliberate policy intervention to curb the menace.
He said prostitution has consequences on HIV prevalence and crime hence the need to deal with it.
