S3x workers in Kenya have appealed to President Uhuru Kenyatta to
offer them protection from unruly clients and human ‘poachers’ who have
resorted to butchering them for ulterior motives.
This follows the discovery of two more
bodies of pr()st!tut3s in Nakuru who were murdered and skinned for unclear
reasons.
In their emotional letter to Uhuru, S3x
Workers’ Association decried the wanton killing of pr()st!tut3s and
asked the President to protect them like other Kenyans.
It is estimated that at least 40
s3x workers are murdered every month across the country.
Here is the touching letter
pr()st!tut3s have written to Uhuru;-
Dear Mr.
President
Please note;
I am not hiding my face but the mask I wear is a symbol of how the society has
chosen to view me, hidden behind the veil, not to be seen or recognized, to
remain somewhere forgotten.
We as the
s3x workers community are saddened by the brutal killings of our members.
It is
estimated that at least 40 s3x workers are murdered every month across the
country and recently. In a span of seven days, six s3x workers have been
murdered; four in Nakuru, one in Kisii and one in Nanyuki.
Indeed,
their children have been left without anyone to care for them and it is
possible that their futures may never be the same again.
This letter
is a loud cry for help to your esteemed office. We have looked everywhere for
help that seems distant while the death toll continues to rise. Our eyes have
settled on you as our help to end these senseless killings.
In summary,
our beloved president, we request the following;
· Right to be free from violence
· Right to be protected by the law
· Those behind these killings be arrested and face the full force of the
law
· Sex workers be respected as human beings and citizens of this country
Above
everything, Mr. President, allow me to remind you that I am a Kenyan citizen
with a Kenyan ID, a registered voter who has voted leaders into public offices.
I was
convinced that with leaders that I voted into office I shall no longer be
subjected to this violence, I am utterly disappointed.
Protect us,
fight for us, help us; we need you now more than ever to save lives before it
is too late.
Yours
faithfully,
The Kenya
S3x Workers Community
Kenya S3x
