A public debate on how to develop practical ways to eradicate poverty and injustice should be the focus of Ghanaians at the moment rather than channeling anger and resentment at Actress Moesha Boduong over her ‘sex for comfort’ comments, Former Deputy Minister of Communication, Victoria Hammah has said.
Moesha told CNN’s Amanpour on an episode of her show, “S£x & Love Around the World” that economic necessity is what drives some women to date men who can support them, even if they’re married.
The actress, in less than 24 hours after her interview, has been subjected to severe criticisms for saying she sleeps with a married man for money because of the economic difficulties confronting the country.
Commenting on the issue, Miss Hammah subtly agrees that, to a large extent, poverty results in asymmetrical sexual power relations.
According to her, the marginalisation of women in society and the discrimination against women, coupled with the situation of “sex for financial security” has become the case because of abject poverty that exists in society and the inability of governments to tackle the core of such issues.
She adds that the “hypocritical moral narratives being thrown at actress and socialite Moesha Boduong for her candid and brutish honesty on Christine Amanpour’s “Sex and Love’ across the world only reflects the ignorant reactionary elements of our society”.

Did I see Christine Amanpour express surprise at Moesha Boduong’s position? This is even more hypocritical?
The US society is rooted in inequalities of not just gender but racial and even economic. The US has the largest pornography industry in the world contributing more than half to the global porn industry. It is undeniable that the porn industry does not only commodify and commercialize the woman’s body but reinforces historical stereotypes of women as sex objects.
