Prostitution in Togo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prostitution in Togo is illegal and punishable for up to 5 to 10 years.[1] In recent years Togo has become a magnet for western sex tourists who are interested in child prostitution.[2]

NGO organizations such as UNICEF have intervened to try and get child prostitutes off the streets.[3]
