What
is Prostitution?? Prostitution is the act or practice of engaging in sex acts
for money. While prostitution is legal or tolerated in some
cultures, it is illegal or socially discouraged in others. Motivations for
suppression can vary significantly, from basic moral repugnance to concerns
about the effects on society and on those who practice it, as well as whether
it is an exploitative practice. In most cultures the prostitutes (the persons
who sell sexual services) are socially stigmatized.
Prostitution
is nothing but a curse to those whose are involved in this shameful act. But it
has been flourishing since ages either in the name of hobby of the rich or due
to family circumstances. Even then a prostitute is the most condemned creature
of the society. She is treated worst than the animals and thus she has to lead
a miserable life of an out caste in the society. There are two main reasons,
why women take to prostitution. The first reason is the greed to accumulate
more and more money and the second reason is the lack of necessities of life.
Some women are greedy by nature and are fond of a glamorous life. Not only
this, they have the inner urge to have sex with many men.
This unconscionable tendency
in a woman, turns her into a prostitute. The second reason is lack
of funds to exist in life. Some women are forced to live the life of the
prostitute due to bad circumstances. These types of women are very poor and
they don’t have sufficient money to lead a decent life, thus, they tune to
prostitution in order to fulfill their necessities of life. The woman loses her
modesty after becoming a prostitute. She becomes vulgar and shameless. Women
and children from India are sent to the Middle East daily. Girls in
prostitution and domestic services in India, Pakistan and the Middle East are
tortured, held in virtual imprisonment, sexually abused, and raped. India
and Pakistan are the main destinations for children under 16 who are trafficked
in south Asia.
The
following steps should be taken by the Govt. and voluntary agencies to
eliminate prostitution:
- They should be educated
about the consequences of having sex with many men. They should be made
aware of the diseases occurring due to this shameless act and how their
status in the society is condemned.
- They should be given
spiritual education in meditation and lectures from spiritual
texts.
- They should be given
employment opportunities, and given jobs according to their caliber and
hard work.
- Last but not the least, they
and their children must not be condemned by the society, but corrected,
instead, so that they are able to lead a disciplined life in the society.
- Prostitution activities are
initiated to alleviate the stressors associated with poverty, structural
barriers, and family dysfunction
- Social Adjustment- Adapting
to new environment

behavior to accommodate personal & social needs
- Intense street learning
