In a groundbreaking investigation, The Star newspaper has uncovered a distressing trend that is raising alarm bells within society— the surging rise of digital prostitution. According to the exclusive report published on The Star’s website, an increasing number of commercial sex workers (CSWs) are transitioning to digital platforms to offer their services. Platforms such as TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook have become the new hotspots for these illicit activities.
The Star interviewed several individuals involved in this line of work, shedding light on the magnitude of the issue. One woman, who goes by the name Wanjiru, disclosed shocking details about her daily earnings. On an average day, Wanjiru claims to make a staggering 500,000 Kenyan shillings. She attributes her success to a loyal clientele base and asserts that she can even earn half a million shillings on a particularly good day.
The revelations brought forth by The Star’s investigation paint a worrisome picture of the evolving landscape of the sex industry. The shift towards digital platforms highlights the ease with which individuals can engage in such activities, raising concerns about the welfare and safety of those involved. As this trend continues to grow, it becomes imperative for authorities and society as a whole to address the underlying factors driving this phenomenon and work towards finding effective solutions to protect vulnerable individuals while maintaining a balance between freedom of expression and regulation of online spaces.
