Sex work goes digital
Sex work in Uganda has gotten simpler and easier. One can now enjoy sex with a click of a button without ever stepping out.
Services of sex workers are now freely available online and one can make an order on Facebook or WhatsApp.
Several people have since moved in to cash in on the sex services on social media. Groups selling sex on Facebook are increasing with each passing day with the most popular ones using local kiganda names.
One such group is called,”Mpa olunaku ojje twezine” loosely translated to ”give me a date and I come for a fuck” while another one is called ”Kwezinamubwezinyi Kunyumirwa ” meaning ” just fuck and enjoy.”

They can also get them from Whatsapp numbers and mobile phone numbers provided by some of the numerous FM radios.

On some of the groups, one can contact an escort after parting with UGsh50,000 (US$14), while on others one can get an escort after paying UGsh10,000 (about US$3 US dollars ) as connection fee to the administrators who provide the sex workers contacts to the clients and they then discuss payment terms with sex workers.
