It is revealed in a study that most women in prostitution were attracted for better income. Many of them were already working in other trades but prostitution proved more luctative. Also, very few women accepted that they were sold to brothels. Most of them willingly opted for this trade. Even those sold blamed their near relatives and not strangers for selling them.

It appears that prostitution needs recongnition. This also caters to physical needs of people for which they pay. Transparency and legality will enable free and fair running of the trade without exploitation by middlemen and police. The prostitutes should be allowed to advertise their services.

Prostitution if accepted as an employment the morality that our country had in at least paper will go down.The consequences will be unpredictable.
yes, some women are giving it a professional approach and every now and then we see in news channels or read in news papers that so and so students of so and so colleges and universities were caught doing this and that and believe me most of them seem to come from good families.....Though I somehow feel that they should not do this whatever the reasons might be!
Prostitution is the oldest profession and cannot be wished away. This will continue. We know well about Lucknow based prostitutes (Tawaif). I may refer to the movie 'Pakeeza' starred by Meena Kumari in key role as prostitute. The prostitutes in ancient India were known as 'Nagar vadhu' and had dignified presence in society.

It is better to fully legalize this and end malpractices and exploitation in this trade. The prostitutes also need social security.
But, the spread of deadly disease AIDS is mainly through these uncontrolled sexual activities.So it should not be encouraged in any way as a profession.
I feel very pity who gets infected by AIDS. But at same time, i think they are only responsible for such attack.

Malpractices and exploitation as well as diseases like AIDS can be checked by recognizing and regulating the trade.

Good views Ronark.Some social evils are to be discarded and this is the first one.
It is very hard to a conclusion about whether this should be band or should it be left out as it is. May be some more thinking and study is needed in this regard before arriving to any final conclusion...

Oh...so many have confusion in approving it as a profession?

Whether you like or not, prostitution is an oldest profession. This cannot be wished away. By legalizing, it will be possible to regulate the trade, prevent exploitation and promote social justice as well as social security to most neglected sections of society.

Kindly refer my article:

Gulshanji, you are right.But this oldest profession came by way of some social issues.That changed now and so this profession should also be discontinued.

Ecven after centuries, there is no real change in any field. Only technology gives alternate products. For example old style pens and ink were replaced by type writers which have again been replaced by computers. The Tawaifs and Muzra dancers, Dev Dasis, Nagar Vadhu have now become call girls. Human instincts, motives, needs all never changed. All that changes is technoilogy.

The link given by me goes to indicate that most women adopted prostitution because this is more paying. Many of them were earlier in low paid jobs. There are fewer cases of forced prostitution. Even those sold to this trade have to blame their own friends, family and not strangers.
There are a whole lot of advantages and disadvantages associated with it but the fact that it won't be a prudent idea to legalize it is often felt by our government also. India is a very vast country and a minor issue results in activities like violence and revolts and under this condition our government not only think twice or thrice before implementing it but even after thousands thoughts they will come to the conclusion of not legalizing it...
I think this is a profession accepted by those who don't look their social status.So nothing to say.

Social status concept changes with time. Once, film career was paying (still paying) but there was no social status. Nobody would allow their children especially girls to enter films. Now parents feel proud to see their daughters on silver screen and TV screen. Nobody could expect artists in films from decent families. So, the film directors had to go to visit brothels for recruiting artists especially female.

Sex workers' profession is definitely a decent one as compared to businessmen who evade taxes and cheat customers, the doctors who sell patients' organs, ministers who cheat people in so many scams etc. any job honestly done is good.

We need not glamorize sex workers trade. They are already not unlawful but only they cannot lawfully advertize. It is necessary to legalize in interest of social justice, social security and ending exploitation by middlemen and police. The exploiters like police and middlemen are more heinous than sex workers.
