The key to Nigerian prostitution
Abstrak
This paper evidences how prostitution is a process of permanent dehumanization of women. This process is built and reproduced as one place where neoliberalism coincides with the patriarchal exploitation of female bodies. I present a feminist geopolitical analysis and explore the factors that explain the fact that Nigerian Edo women are the most prevalent victims of sex-trafficking in Europe. All this happens within the context of expansion, sophistication and technification of the sex industry together with the prostitution culture, which is ostensibly visible in the creation of hyper-real silicon sexual dolls –even childlike- and their evolution to sex robots. I draw on how the neo-colonial dynamics, the overexploitation of natural resources, the impoverishment and the forced displacement of people are the current platform that sustains part of the mechanism that operates at the core of Nigerian prostitution in the 21st century.
