I do ‘Ashawo’ business in India, I sleep with 6 men everyday – Ghanaian lady

A Ghanaian woman named Elizabeth has opened up about the heartbreaking struggles she is going through in India.

In a phone interview on the Oyerepa Afutuo show hosted by Auntie Naa, monitored by DailyNewsGhana, she bravely shared how life has become unbearable since she left Ghana.

Elizabeth explained that she is currently forced to sleep with as many as six men a day just to survive. Her story revealed how deep her suffering runs and how her dreams have turned into a nightmare.

According to her, the trouble started in Sunyani-Chiraa where she met a man named Mr. Alfred. They got into a relationship, and later she moved to Accra in search of work. That was when Alfred mentioned he had received an offer from a woman living in India. The offer, however, was for her to work as a prostitute, which she initially rejected.

Despite her refusal, Elizabeth said she and Alfred ended up traveling to India, using yam exportation as a cover for the trip. But once they arrived in India, things changed. Alfred left her in the care of another Ghanaian woman, who happened to be his ex-girlfriend. That woman then demanded a payment of $4,500 from her.

“When we got to India, Alfred left me there in the hands of a Ghanaian woman who was his ex-girlfriend,” Elizabeth said. “One day she came to me and said I’m supposed to pay $4,500. She told me I had to do Ashawo to get the money.”

Out of desperation, Elizabeth agreed. But the toll it has taken on her life is heavy. She revealed that some days she sleeps with five or six men, and on her “lucky” days, only two. Even though she’s doing this painful work, she says it’s too much for her and she can’t go on anymore.

“The Ashawo work is beyond my capacity. I can’t continue anymore,” she confessed emotionally.

Elizabeth also said that all efforts to reach Alfred have failed, and she now finds herself alone, helpless, and crying out for help. She appealed to the Oyerepa Afutuo show and its listeners to help her escape her current situation.

Her story is a painful reminder of how many young women, in search of greener pastures, fall into situations they never imagined. Elizabeth’s call for help is not just about herself—it also shines a light on the silent suffering of many others caught in similar traps abroad.
