Some s3x workers in Accra have increased their charges due to the general economic hardship in Ghana currently.
Some of them in an interview with Joy News stated that the cost of almost everything has gone up due to the economic downturn, so they have been left with no option but to increase their charges.
The Joy News reports indicate that one of the s3x workers identified simply as Vivian as having lamented how the bad economic situation is having a negative impact on the income they get from their work.
“There has been an increase in goods lately. To pay my rent is difficult now and because of that, I have increased my price.
“Food these days is very expensive. I clothe myself, and the rest of that. So, I can’t reduce my price,” she said as quoted by the news website.
However, she admitted that the hikes in the charges have scared her customers away because they are also bearing the brunt of the same economic hardship.
She pleaded with the government to find a means to remedy the situation to enable their work to flourish, adding that she “was taking ¢200 for short” in December last year, but 2022 has been bad due to the economic challenges.
“Things have become very difficult for us, so they should reduce some of the goods. Even the ones that are on the street and company workers.”
According to the report, many s3x workers say they had been charging ¢50 for a short session that lasts between 15-20 minutes and as much as ¢300 for a full night.
