Norwegian-Nigerians are tired of being viewed as prostitutes and demand a ban on the buying of sexual services.
Norwegian-Nigerian Uzomaka Okoroafor is upset about the way African women living in Norway are viewed is being influenced by the recent influx of prostitutes from African nations.
"You notice their looks. They give signals that can only be interpreted one way," the nurse told newspaper Dagsavisen.
Along with Labor Party politician Elvis Chi Nwosu, who is also the leader for African Cultural Awareness, Okoroafor argues fervently for criminalizing the purchase of sex.
"We in the African community know that the basic reason that women come here to work as prostitutes is the endless poverty in their homeland. But by allowing them to earn "easy" money this way we do not allow them to find other possibilities," Nwosu told the newspaper.
The Socialist Left Party approved a proposal to forbid the purchase of sexual services at their national congress over the weekend. This brings them in line with the other majority alliance junior partner, the Center Party.
The dominant member of the government coalition, the Labor Party, has their congress during Easter and can make the proposal a majority backed policy.
