A child protection group, Challenging Heights, has raised an alarm about a network recruiting Ghanaian children for sex work.

The group states that social media platforms, especially TikTok, are being used for these recruitments.

This trend is increasingly impacting girls in mining communities across Ghana.

Some victims are reportedly as young as 16 years old.

These girls are then subjected to sexual exploitation.

Challenging Heights has called for urgent action to address this growing problem.

The organisation highlighted the vulnerability of children in these areas.

Further details on the extent of the network are being investigated.
