Mozambique

WARDENS at Mozambique’s largest women’s prison are forcing inmates into prostitution and punishing those who refuse, according to the Centre for Public Integrity.

In a report published this week by the anti-corruption organisation, guards at the Ndlavela Women’s Prison in Maputo are forcing inmates to have sex with clients for between $50 (R700) and $250, cash.

The women are taken “three or four times a week” to guesthouses where they are pimped out to clients who were “well placed in society,” the report said.
