Dorcel TV Africa’s response to the controversy

In response to this controversy, the Dorcel Group’s communications department has provided clarification on the working conditions of actors and actresses. Local content producers doing business with Dorcel TV Africa must respect the ethical charter and the Dorcel Group’s ways of doing things. In order to ensure compliance with their ethical charter, the Dorcel Group has signed contracts with local NGOs in Africa. These NGOs are responsible for monitoring each shoot, supporting the actors and actresses and ensuring that the signed contracts are respected.

All actors and actresses must be at least 21 years old and undergo all tests for sexually transmitted diseases (HIV, Hepatitis, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, etc.) before filming scenes. All actors and actresses must sign a contract and their fee must be handed to them in person after each shoot.

One of the local porn film producers collaborating with the Dorcel channel interviewed by the website abidjannewsci.com also provided clarification on the working conditions of actors and actresses: “I have been in the production of adult films for only two years and everything is going well. There is always an association that defends human rights on the set with us to ensure that the actors are well treated and especially with negative tests before any filming. Condoms are also mandatory in sex scenes, the association also ensures that the actors are paid in accordance with the contract. We require actors to be clean also to guarantee comfort to the partner with whom they are going to do a scene.”
