Lesotho & South Africa owned Polihali Dam contractors pay under age girls, women for sex

Phase II of the Lesotho Water Highlands Project is well underway. It is billed as a project with significant financial benefit to Lesotho but it carries devastating social implications for women, including underage girls, who are selling their bodies to contractors working on the project.
Healthcare workers have noticed that women from other parts of the country are relocating to regions where huge construction sites are located to take advantage of this opportunity. They also report that school girls are dropping out of school to “date contractors”.
