Lady P and the Sex Work Sisterhood - BBC Africa Eye documentary
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 02. 2021
- Africa Eye investigates an unsolved murder of a sex worker in Sierra Leone and uncovers a world where women who sell sex are often abused, attacked, trafficked, and even killed.
In the city of Makeni, a group of sex workers, led by a woman called Lady P, are on a mission to fight for justice and to improve their rights. Although sex work is not illegal in the country, these women are seen as immoral outcasts and receive little support from the government or society. And as Tyson Conteh reports, their survival has been made even more precarious since the coronavirus pandemic.

When the child said her mother and father are dead and when her granny dies she'll have to beg on the street, really broke my heart. I pray God gives the granma more years to live.
I felt it too
It's her reality though
@@cosmiccrush22 that's what makes it more sad..
that really touched me 2
Me too😭😭😭
OMG..I just pray nothing like that happens.
She is little yet has passed through so much already.
😭😭
This documentary deserves an international Award. Kudos to the 2 journalists and the entire crew.
I concur 💯💯
Inshallah
A truly wonderful place ‘Africa. We should take a leaf out of their book .... oh ! Wait a minute We have !
Yes indeed
Great job
So sad what these poor souls went through
True
Shedding tears throughout. When you think you`re suffering, you just stumble on another episode of life that would change your entire thinking. God have mercy!
For real....like I've been soo ungrateful to my lord....but watching all these videos now...I just can't stop saying "Thank you ,ABBA father "
Unfortunately, the answer to this isn't God. It's Statecraft. Statecraft is the product, sooner or later, of Culture and Consciousness. There are reasons America has so much success and countries like this have so much failure. History is real, every day.
My thoughts exactly
💔🥹🥹🥹
Am in tears😢...as we celebrate international women’s day I choose to celebrate the journalist for voicing out what the female sex workers go through and also helping the young girls come home..
AFRICANS are running this racket in INDIA also.
@@dineshbhat7978 Indians are doing the same thing themselves
@@abixo2256.......... INDIANS are doing this in there own country INDIA, but why AFRICANS are running this racket in INDIA? They should run this in AFRICA.
@@dineshbhat7978 where in India is that happening ? And which Africans ? Sources?

She doesn't feel sorry for him. She just doesn't want to be murdered as retribution for taking him to court.
Exactly what I was thinking
True.
I think so
I'm sure I was even surprised she considered it.. very dangerous situation
Reporting him is probably why she was kidnapped.
Or they promised her a month salary and sent her off there and made way more money off her and payed her very little when she got back.
I use to run away from home cause I wanted to play grown. I cried watching this thinking about all the worry I put my mother through I called her just to say sorry again at age 40.
🧡🧡
God bless you.
Awww. That's nice you called your mom to apologize.
Good. Call her again!
Yes call her again
I have learned not to judge anyone before I hear her/his story. Everyone has a right to life no matter what they do for living as long as they don't hurt anyone.

Indeed
Bravo Pauline!
They have a right to life no matter what and these women are hurting themselves.
@The Relatable Christian God doesn't pay the bills
The way this senior police officer confidently says he doesn't know, basic yet imperative law is shocking.
I suspect the Police with those killings 😏
Or maybe because it is the case of prostitution, that's why he didn't pay attention there. But what if it would have been his own daughter, and how he would have responded to it ? Or a politician been killed! He would even join the police investigation team.
I was also shook and to admit that on camera for the world to see that even the police who should know the law don't , show how broken Africa is .
There not lawyers
@@supermodelatlanta1354 i am sure you dont have to be a lawyer to know that. Hence I said its basic info.
This is an exceptional and emotional documentary. Where can I nominate this documentary for an award. It deserves international recognition 100%
Things like this make me wish I could save the world only to end up frustrated because it's impossible. Spreading peace & love to whoever reads this.
I'm with you!
Peace, Love And God's Blessings Upon You As Well!
Thank you! Peace and love to you as well.
Am telling you.I be helpless and then start crying.🥺
What a sweet comment... And heartfelt... God bless you..
The daughter drawing her mom’s picture from her memory cut me soooo deep. I am crying 😭 right now remembering that ✍️ drawing. A mother’s picture is a priceless memory
😢😢😢😢
@K Diamond I see the picture , then I think of my daughter,a very emotional scene!
Such a touching scene🙁
A daughter is usually a mother’s best friend.
It’s hard to navigate life as a girl child without that mother figure.
So good to have a genuine African telling his countries story. So many times its not. 🙏 for them
He’s commissioned by the bbc
Right that doesn't mean they mean well either their the ones causing the problem leaving you guys confused
True
@@stileymusic4303 the Director has worked with AfricaEye before and he pitched this story. He lives in Makeni, Sierra Leone and had a lot of agency on how this story came out.
Why not showing to the world the good side of Liberia? It's a shame to always trying to show always bad things about Africa, go to new york, and you would see the true america
A senior police officer said "I don't know what is law" confidently on camera.
@ben yosep no he is not, but he is a law enforcement officer...how can you enforce the law if you don't even know it?
That's Africa 🌍
How did it even became a police office ?
When the journalist said "I don't cry easily, but listening to lady P makes me cry" I cried even harder.. That hit me deep. 💔😭 God bless all these women & provide for them.❤️
This isn’t easy to watch. This hurt 😔 my soul. God please help our men to value our women. This is sickening. Africa we need to do better.
Thank you exactly, I feel so sad its our own men who do this to their women.
Its extremely emotional watching this..
I’m glad it’s coming from another man. The fact that these so called “men” cannot even build stable communities for their women and children to live in is sickening. Then they wonder why all it takes is a “hi” from a white man to a African woman and she’s rushes to marry him and move to europe for protection and safety. It’s disgusting.
Why is this acceptable?
And even sad enough women are also involved.
Eish. Lady P has been through a lot. She's a strong woman... love and light to her 💛
✅✅✅
I was just saying that. She went through so much my God. Just wow. She is the definition of endurance.
Sex work is the choice of those with the least choices. I hope she finds a way out. Bless you all and stay safe.

Come to INDIA, dear AFRICANS.
Being a woman is hard enough let alone being a poor woman in Africa in this day and age. More male journalists should continue exposing the ruthless state of so many African countries leadership is a failure leaving woman and children suffering.
So scary.

That broke me!!!! And I don’t cry for anything
Pathetic!
😭😭😭😭
Oh baby
Me too seriously
Heart breaking documentary😭, Lady P is so kind and super strong. This journalist deserves an award..
This documentary deserve an Award. It pain so much reality in our continent. One thing make me sad . The daughter who drawing her picture that she never had seen before
Really shady how right after she presses charges she gets trafficked.
I hope she’s still alive
@Nancy Samuelson is being killed worse? It makes you wonder because being trafficked is being tortured.
I know....... 😔 thank God they got back home and safely x
@Natural Beauty agree 100% just kill me
@Nancy Samuelson whats worst? Being killed once, or being killed everydag while livin ?
How can that senior police officer say he doesn’t know the law
This is Africa for you
I was literally thinking the same thing. How can you uphold the law when you don't even understand it
I was shocked to hear that from Govt official and it speaks volumes about the whole Govt itself. Where I come from, an Official would get sacked for that
My thoughts exactly, an officer of the law does not know the law, very disappointing,,
I thought the same thing. I was like dude are you even going to say this on camera
I cried so hard when the girls were rescued!!!We live in a wicked world . Lord Help Us!!!
Its not the lord who will help us, its you need to take action and especially men need to support women and educate themselves.
Pls do realize that the god poor innocent people pray for blessings is the same god abusers pray for their justification.
Its not a good teaching and moral in the bible that: only u have to believe in god and your sins will be forgiven and you could go to heaven. For many “evil” people its an excuse and escape from taking reaponsibility. They just have to regret their sins - then its fine.
Bad message. Also, Bible is full of cruelty and suppression of women - Jesus must have been a good guy - but other than that, think about things like: raped women cannot have abortion due to strict religious dogmas in these miserable African places. Very not “godly”
Ahhhhh not forgetting Lady P man, she also played a big role here. God bless her heart.
I am not rich and I am jobless right now but, watching this documentary broke my heart. I feel like going to Sierra Leon and find a way to help those women. ALLAH protects and keeps them save from all harms in-sha-ALLAH!

This journalist... He deserves an International award. He saved those girls lives and restored families from dispair. 🥇

Yes indeed he does...
The reunion between the mothers and their daughters at the end was emotional and touching.
My heart bleeds for Isata. Beautiful young lady. She doesn’t deserve none of that but when the choices are nothing then you do whatever just to live. May God bless her wherever she is.
And to think she's still thinking about the Bastard cops own children after he almost killed her. She's still concerned that he will lose his livelihood and how will he provide for his children. Lord have mercy
If it wasn’t for the reporter those girls would not have returned to their mothers, thank God he searched for them. Thank you 🙏🏾
Yes. A big hearty thank you x
We need more real journalists like Tyson Conteh. Not looking for fame but seeking change and solutions. Well done Tyson x
He's a Hero! The whole journalistic investigation team was excellent and deserve recognition for this. Praise God for them.

Thank you for showing us what is happening in our countries.
The minerals are forcifully taken and civil wars created to blind people to the truth.We need to repent to restore our lost glory.
So indeed my dear person.!!
Why don't you think and speak about alll the good that takes place in africa. ..sex trafficking takes place all over the U.S And canada...these type of stories aren't only reserve to Africa. ..but that's what they want you to believe

I BELIEVE IF YOU BELIEVE AFRICAN AMERICANS CAN COME AND BE AN ADVISORS FIRST AND LEADERS SECOND TO CHANGE THIS.. IF THE AFRICAN CONTINENT WOULD GIVE US A CHANCE... WE KNOW HOW THEY THINK. AND WE KNOW HOW TO BROKER DEALS FOR YOUR MINERALS..
I dont think Isata feels bad for the police officer who beat her and may lose his job. I think she is legitimately fearful that he will kill her. This is so sad on every level.

I was thinking the same thing he's probably the one that orchestrated her kidnapping
I was thinking the same thing😢
I agree,she is so fearful. The situation is too painful.
wow, I appreciate this journalist and the crew and the women in this footage so much. This needs to be on Netflix or Hulu.
My heart bleeds for Africa. It's a sad story living under a government whose leaders with their tilapia brain can't protect their citizens. Good journalism.
Governments in Africa are there for profit, charity money never trickles down to the masses, people on the ground eat through their own means, it's an unfair situation when westerners question us why it is that Africa can never rise out of poverty
@@01leahjoan...........Come to INDIA, dear AFRICANS.
@@dineshbhat7978 India is one of the biggest destinations for trafficked African sex workers. Funded by Indian men
They even don't know the law, the police summarized everything 😂
The tenacious efforts of the journalists is highly commendable.
I’m traumatized watching this, imagine how These women are scarred & traumatized 😭💔!
Still in tears hours after watching this. You do not appreciate what you have until you lose it.
I do not know them, and I am crying tears of joy for their safe return. If a person will cling to the word of God and works hard to hear him, answers to your dilemma in life will be revealed.
I love this journalist. This is the first BBC Africa story I’ve seen where the journalist actually attempted to help his subjects! So happy he got the girls back! Although life isn’t gonna be so perfect for the girls. I’m so happy they could be reunited with their families thanks to this journalist.

A heart felt documentary for the ladies am deeply sorry for the child who lost her mom.May Allah give the child a successfull life
Summary of Africa: leaders who don’t even know what the law is!
There do know every bit of the law, there choice not to do any thing about it.
Neither to Western leaders.
And you notice the common denominator BM
Each people do not understand exactly who the government actually is.
Governments and their bureau agents are ruthless individuals.
The word political gives the impression government agents are soft. They are Oftentimes Psychologically disturbed.
Note:
Every countries governments are the leading gang of the current period, until a future gang disposes of them.
To hope for government legislation for your everyday problems is a slightly naivety on the part of each citizen's perception
Summary of America: leaders who don’t even CARE what the law is!
As an African, tears runs through My eyes seeing what fellow African Men do to Our African sisters... I`d love to say thanks to the journalist brothers.
I am from INDIA and honestly I say that AFRICANS r also running RACKET in INDIA. You can check the story of an AFRICAN GIRL "GRACE" Who came to INDIA without knowing anything.
Only weak men hurt women or children to feel strong.

As a Sierra Leonean woman who was born and raised in Sierra Leone and now a law graduate, it breaks my heart to see the suffering and injustice our women go through and not being able to do anything about it even with the knowledge I hold at this time.
( yet to get my bar certificate)
All I pray for is for God to strengthen and guide myself and others who are now in the position of knowledge to help lift our fellow sisters out of this struggle..
It really pains my heart 💔
May God save us all Amen🙏🏿
AFRICANS r running this racket in INDIA also.
Why haven't you gotten your bar certificate?
When they see their mothers, they became little girls all over again. Shows the strong bond between mothers and their children. Young girls please list to your mother's, they truly love you.

I feel sadness for the mother who lost her daughter, but joyful for the girls isata, ik. Wishing the best for them, and the families. This is another reason I'm trying to volunteer over there, hopefully soon. God bless and I love you women of Africa, and the world 🌏. Hold on to faith, and stay strong 💪.
This story will be a sierra Leoneans story but it tells the story of our African sisters .An amazing job done in telling this story , so proud of u bro, and thanks BBC Africa Eye for such an excellent job.
No gofundme, no charity, nothing at all to help these people in some way?
Nonetheless,
We have to remember all the luxury we purchased in the west, derived through African resources..
So this makes all of us in the west, just as responsible for the Africans suffering...
Each time you have a baby in the western countries... It will cost Africa hugely, in more resources being stolen and transported to support Western addiction and greed.
In the UK child maintenance cost is approximately twenty thousand pounds per year *(£20,000)* until the age of eighteen years *(18)*
The maths...
*18 multiplied by 20,000 =?🤔🍳?* ®
Cost per year you raising one child in the uk, is equivalent to the cost of raising *ten thousand* children in Africa..
Remember: When you raise one child in the UK, you destroy *ten thousand children* in Africa and other nations..
The child maintenance cost per year include :
Health & Hygiene ££
Housing & taxes ££
Food & nutrition ££
Clothing & Bedding ££
School & learning ££
Recreation & activities ££
Entertainment & sport ££
HOBBIES & Interest ££
Utilities & Maintenance ££
Transport & Travel ££
Protection & security ££
This figure is estimated at a minimum cost of twenty thousand pounds per year *(£20,000)* twenty thousand US dollars converted equates to £16,000 *($20,000)*
Some of the White Neighbours to where I live, have never worked, while some have, but still claim all the benefits.
Specific identities of these types of Feral type families : their spouses work, while the families claim benefits fraudulently, while the women continue stealing from people? 🤔
One of the family is also a refugee working illegally.
How much evilness or insanity would people have to, inorder to exist this way, I wonder?
@@khaliltheenlightenmentbomb3423 Oh, you are *too* FUNNY!!
@beanie please don't even go there .leave that route about GoFundMe etc when it comes to Africa.
Logistics and many other forces will hamper even its planning.
Just contact people directly if ever you want to help someone from Africa.any other means even through their own parents will be detrimental.
We have a very serious problem with money.
I love my Africa like nothing else b the way.
Will change nothing for it after living half my life in the west,I now love my Africa even more with its difficulties even better.
@@Luna-mr3gz you are absolutely right! It's best to have a direct line to the people you want to help. It's so tragic.
Great ?....I was thinking the same
Lady P is such a strong woman. May God be with her
Yes

She is blessed
I was actually brought to tears. This life’s hard man. Give thanks for what you have. See how beautiful they were when they returned
Thank you for sharing this sad story with the world. My tears refuse to stop flowing!
The police has got something to do with isata's trafficking
The police said there needed the family to pay for autopsy before investigation for some who was raped, triggle and amputated. Police in africa
It's obvious and it's so sad to see this and one thing I have seen a lot of cops think they are above the law
Think about that next time you complain about Western police.

And people say Africa has no serial killers...we have them in abundance, we just refuse to apprehend them or carry out any justice for their victims.
sad
No...do not say abundance with out proof. There probably are some but again don't make dramatic statements like that. Also some of the countries simply don't have the resources to deal with it. Do you realize how sophisticated the technology used to catch serial killers are?
so true! there are so many serial killers and murderers all over Africa but they rarely ever get caught especially because they specifically target sex workers. the exact same thing happens in Nigeria. it’s so fucked. poor girls they must be so terrified all the time. I can’t imagine not only fearing that I may be killed if I try to make money and feed my kids but that even if I do there will be no justice. something must be done.

Kind of convenient that Isata was trafficked just when Lady P convinced her to press charges against her abuser.. and the police who are clueless about the Law never saw it as interesting or maybe they were involved.
The police might be working with them who traffick. They are corrupt
They are involved
Definitely coz she disappeared after the attack incident by the police who happened to be his client

Same situation is here in INDIA. Many AFRICAN GIRLS are imported here for Prostitution. Many AFRICAN GIRLS can be seen here at nights on highways in big cities, waiting for clients.
I have to control my tears twice while watching this
Man that made a strong man cry.....I'm ashamed to even call myself a man, what is wrong with men of today? Where is the love and respect towards women?
They’re losing there minds..
Your comment warranted more than 100 thumbs up. I cant help but to think of the original plan The Almighty gave man. The original position and role he gave MAN......and Woman was to honour that man because At Man honoured his Creator.
@อาร์ทิมิส อะโฟรไดท์ ไดโอนีซอส ซุส เฮร่า อพอลโล โพไซดอน who cares about honor this is survival.
@อาร์ทิมิส อะโฟรไดท์ ไดโอนีซอส ซุส เฮร่า อพอลโล โพไซดอน men never respected women throughout history
@อาร์ทิมิส อะโฟรไดท์ ไดโอนีซอส ซุส เฮร่า อพอลโล โพไซดอน women throughout history did nothing but serve men and what did they get in return ???
What kind of police officer saying “he doesn’t know the LAW with confident”, seriously......
In fact!!!! I laughed my ass of when he said that.. and he continued to repeat it!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow! My heart pains so much. The little girl who said she go beg in the streets. How many other girls are out there and no one to help them?
Welcome to Africa.
The police don’t know the law fully because they don’t go to law school lol, in the United States they have the Assistant District Attorneys/Commonwealth Attorneys also known as prosecutors to call and ask if they don’t know the law, or they search the crimes code.
Honestly, he is a shame. Doesn't deserve that position.
My heart breaks.. the homeless in my city have it better then them.. Father please forgive me for everything I've taken for granted and all I ignored that I could of been a help to. ... Seeing the kids running from gun fire I just can't .. these beautiful queens omg
One of the most heartbreaking things to watch
Never taking anythimg for granted😭😭😭 this is so painful to watch.
I am an INDIAN and we also feel bad for this. Same story of GRACE, an AFRICAN Girl who struck in INDIA by her fellow AFRICANS to force her into PROSTITUTION.
It's heartbreaking to me. I've been incredibly close to doing something like this but I sold drugs instead. There comes a time when you run out of "decent" choices and all your choices are bad. Most humans have a strong will to survive and when children are added into the mix you don't have the luxury of not doing everything in your power to protect and care for them. In America, there are still quite a bit of resources available. These women literally have nowhere to turn. There is no human services, no government offering the basic minimum one needs to survive. I won't claim to know the ins and outs but I do know every human (except for r*pists, child molesters, and murderers) especially children, deserve a safe home, a full belly, and people who love them more than themselves. People who don't even try to understand all the ways people end up in this position are ignorant.
You are absolutely right. When there's no options, people make them. I wish that all governments provided assistance like first world countries, but in this case, even regulation of sex work would be better than nothing
Unfortunately there are a lot more rapists and abusers aming us than you would think.
I also come from a relatively ok country from Europe but almost every woman who i know was raped/threatened/abused/beaten up by their own ex-partners or fathers … and they came from normal class families - not from the streets.
Its a deeper problem than that namely that there are some bad people doing bad stuff. Because it happens in a lot of families - but its even more hidden than these sex trafficing groups’ acts
God bless IK's mom! She knew that her daughter caused her own problems and asked if IK was ready to change and make better decisions.
Accountability.
This documentary has made me look at the life of sex workers from a very different perspective. The journalists did a very great job. People go through alot just to cope with all the blows that life throws at them. Never judge.
