Gov�t Urged To Decriminalise Commercial Sex

Speaking at a “Sex Workers and Sexual Minorities in Botswana” workshop that was hosted at the University’s library auditorium on Friday, the students’ representative Maatla Sekao, argued that commercial sex work and sexual minorities must be aligned with the country’s constitution. She said those minority groups deserve to be treated with respect and dignity like any other people.

“We chose the theme, ‘Decriminalisation: The First Step Towards Appreciating the Existence of Sex Workers and Sexual Minorities’ because as social workers ,our mandate is to take care and protect our fellow human beings irrespective of their sexuality, choices, social background or status.
