“People in the industry informed me through audio and text messages that there were raffles or raffles, where the prize is to have sex with a woman plus a bottle of alcohol, this instrumentalization of women in this case and the scourge of prostitution in all its forms must be a priority for the authorities. We cannot allow this type of conduct which threatens the integrity of women. All my rejection,” said Amin.
