Kolonko Commercial Sex Worker Documentary

AdvocAid and its partners present “Kolonko,” a documentary in which sex workers talk about their lives. ‘Kolonko’ is the Krio-language term for a sex worker and its derogatory nature reflects the social and economic marginalisation sex workers face. In the documentary, women discuss the sexual, physical, and verbal abuse they endure on a daily basis at the hands of their clients and the police.
