She has found that there has been exponential growth in prostitution over the past three years in the country. While 10 years ago, people would not openly talk about prostitution, now that people's friends are increasingly entering the trade, people freely discuss prostitution. The research indicates that this growth is linked to the negative effects of macroeconomic policies aimed at economic growth, such as structural adjustment. For example, 39 of 121 sex workers studied claimed to have begun working as a prostitute after their trading businesses collapsed. Study findings suggest a high level of AIDS awareness among Ghanaian prostitutes. Prostitutes in Ghana are considered to be either seaters or roamers. Seaters are a loosely organized group of women who tend to work from a common compound, attracting customers by sitting in the doorway of their rooms. They typically report to an older retired sex worker who settles disputes and raises credit if one of the women must pay a police fine. Seaters are largely 30-45 years old and work in industrial centers. Roamers, however, tend to be 20-30 years old, work in coastal towns, and are usually better educated. They move from place to place and are probably at lower risk of contracting HIV due to the higher rates they charge and the correspondingly lower number of clients they entertain. Roamers seem to have higher rates of condom use and clients who are aware of the dangers. Roamers, too, are not organized as a group and may even often be highly competitive. Their work in the isolation of hotels makes them particularly vulnerable. Economic necessity has therefore increasingly drawn Ghanaian women into the sex trade, while Ghanaian men who typically support two or three women in exchange for sex, but can no longer do so due to current economic conditions, turn to occasional sex with prostitutes. This paper notes that informal prostitution often paid in kind rather than cash also exists in Ghana. Before the recent nationwide growth in prostitution, most sex workers came from the Krobo tribe in eastern Ghana due most likely to a combination of economic and cultural factors. Increasing numbers now come from the central Ashanti region. Mention is made of the Akosombo Dam project during the 1960s which drew large numbers of women into prostitution to serve the desires of the thousands of migrant construction workers.</AbstractText></OtherAbstract><KeywordList Owner="PIP"><Keyword MajorTopicYN="Y">Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">Africa</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">Africa South Of The Sahara</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">Behavior</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">Developing Countries</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">Diseases</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="Y">Economic Conditions</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">Economic Factors</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">English Speaking Africa</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">Ghana</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="Y">Hiv Infections</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="Y">Knowledge</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">Macroeconomic Factors</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="Y">Prostitutes--women</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="Y">Research Report</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">Sex Behavior</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">Viral Diseases</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">Western Africa</Keyword></KeywordList><GeneralNote Owner="PIP">TJ: AIDS ANALYSIS AFRICA</GeneralNote></MedlineCitation><PubmedData><History><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="pubmed"><Year>1996</Year><Month>2</Month><Day>1</Day><Hour>0</Hour><Minute>0</Minute></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="medline"><Year>2002</Year><Month>10</Month><Day>9</Day><Hour>4</Hour><Minute>0</Minute></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="entrez"><Year>1996</Year><Month>2</Month><Day>1</Day><Hour>0</Hour><Minute>0</Minute></PubMedPubDate></History><PublicationStatus>ppublish</PublicationStatus><ArticleIdList><ArticleId IdType="pubmed">12290769</ArticleId></ArticleIdList></PubmedData></pubmed><affiliations><list></list><tree></tree></affiliations></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
