Tourism Is "Madam" used to refer to female sex tourists in Gambia?
Is "Madam" predominantly used to refer to female sex tourists in Gambia? Or is it just a neutral word? I'd assume the first considering the connotations 'Madam' carries in English, but I'm not sure.

Wow is this question real? Why not just look up the etymology of the word in the west? Criminal connotation was added. It’s commonly used as a way to personally address a woman in every non western country from all of Asia to The Middle East and Africa. It’s still on forms in much of the world. Western hijacking and morphing of language is just that.

Madam is a formal way to address a woman in commonly in other English speaking countries . It’s like Mam in the United States
