Yoruba Women Urge Oluremi Tinubu to Combat Rising Prostitution in Southwest

Some Yoruba women’s groups are calling on First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu to step up law enforcement against brothels and human trafficking. They want her strategy to include more economic opportunities for young women and stronger social welfare programmes to tackle poverty and unemployment. They also ask national leaders to keep speaking out on issues affecting the safety, dignity, and welfare of women and girls. They support practical steps to reduce exploitation and protect the most vulnerable. Public concern is growing in parts of Southwest Nigeria over the increasing presence of prostitution and brothels. Community leaders, parents, religious groups, and advocates warn that social and economic factors are fuelling this trend. Observers say lasting solutions require a comprehensive approach. It must address unemployment, poverty, education, human trafficking, and the enforcement of existing laws. Coordinated action by government, traditional institutions, civil society, and local communities is key.
