It was announced that in solidarity with the female motorist, its members will not be offering s3xual services drivers for one week.

Pr*stitudes in Mombasa county of Kenya, have joined other citizens of the East African country in showing solidarity and speaking against the acts of sexual assault on a female motorist in Nairobi last Friday.

About 16 suspects accused of robbing and s3xually molesting a female diplomat on Forest Road have been detained for 15 days to enable detectives to complete investigations.

The suspects were arrested following a viral video showing the complainant being attacked on March 4. The Zimbabwean diplomat is said to have reported the incident at the Parklands police station.

Maryline Laini, Executive Director of Nkoko Injuu Africa, a CBO that champions the rights of s3x workers, has announced that in solidarity with the female motorist, its members will not be offering s3xual services drivers for one week.

Laini said;

“These people are our clients, but from today, no registered s3x worker will offer s3xual services to any bodaboda rider in this region. If a member is found with a bodaboda client within the period, she will be deregistered”

Laini also told K24TV that denying drivers s3xual services, is one way of demanding justice for women who are subjected to s3xual assault in public spaces.

She added;

“We know this is where we get our basic needs and fend for our families but we are ready to go hungry for this type of violence to come to an end”.
