The Prefect of the Littoral Department, Alain Orounla's mission is to put an end to the sex work profession on his territory. So after descents made the report is bitter.
"This is a permanent task that we have set ourselves, until the adversaries sign the end of this activity ", thus expressed the Prefect of the Littoral Alain Orounla at the microphone of Frisson radio during his second descent into brothels or places where the activity takes place. For the Prefect of the Littoral, “it is a problem of criminality and genocide, because the conditions in which people are engaged in prostitution facilitate the contamination of all Beninese. We have no assessment on the medical follow-up or not of these "prostitutes" that others frequent. We don't know their serology., explains Alain Orounla before adding that it is not logical to let this activity prosper while the government is working to give a respectable image to the economic city, and to the whole country. The Prefect recalls that the fight will intensify and will be without complacency. “I break eggs. If you want you can make omelettes. If one wants to, you can cry over spilled milk,” he warns.
In addition to public health and safety issues, the prefectural authority evokes violence against women through sexual activity, set up by networks of pimps. Many young girls are engaged in prostitution for the benefit of pimps who derive the greatest benefit from the activity..
It should be noted that the first people arrested following the Prefect's raid on the incriminated premises were subsequently released after presentation to the Prosecutor.. The Prefect explained that the primary purpose of his action is not to throw people in prison, but have an idea of the extent of the situation in order to remedy it.
