...performance of sex acts for hire; prostitution” (ProCon Organization) sex work is most often stigmatized. Though it can be vilified and illegal, sex work does exist on a global scale; the issues surrounding it, therefore, affect millions and must be carefully examined. Policy-makers, scholars, community leaders, and citizens should consider the arguments both supporting and opposing decriminalization of sex work, defined by the Global Network of Sex Work Projects as “the removal of all criminal and administrative prohibitions and penalties on sex work, including laws targeting clients and...

...trafficking is composed of two viewpoints: first is sexual slavery and the second is human trafficking. These two things show the supply and demand side of the sex trafficking industry, individually. This misuse depends on the communication between the traffickers offering a casualty (the individual being trafficked and sexually abused) to clients to perform sexual services. These sex trafficking violations are characterized by three stages: securing, development, and misuse. The different sorts of sex trafficking are youngster sex tourism (CST), household minor sex trafficking (DMST) or business sexual abuse of kids, and prostitution (Farley). The circumstances that sex trafficking casualties face fluctuate significantly. Numerous casualties turn out to be impractically required with somebody who then strengths or controls them into prostitution. Others are tricked in with bogus guarantees of a vocation, for example, demonstrating or moving. Some are compelled to offer sex by their parents or other relatives. Human trafficking happens when a trafficker takes any of the counted activities, and afterward utilizes the method for power, misrepresentation or intimidation with the end goal of convincing the casualty to give business sex acts. At any rate, one component from every section must be available to set up a potential circumstance of...

Why these men did what they did to me. Old, disgusting men. It was horrible. They knew I did not want to be there, but they paid their money. They used me. I was their property for the night. They destroyed me. (14-year-old girl at Casa Hogar, a shelter in Costa Rica for children rescued from the country’s sex trade1) OVERVIEW Prostitution has been called the world’s oldest “profession.” In reality, it is the world’s oldest “oppression” and continues to be one of the most overlooked human rights abuses of women on the planet today. 2 Prostitution of women is a particularly lethal form of violence against women, and a violation of a woman’s most basic human rights. While society attempts to normalize prostitution on a variety of levels (discussed later in this paper), prostituted women are subjected to violence and abuse at the hands of paying “clients.” For the vast majority of prostituted women, “prostitution is the experience of being hunted, dominated, harassed, assaulted and battered.” 3 It is “sexual terrorism against women at the hands of men and little is being done to stop the carnage...

...violence, and sexually transmitted diseases. The current system of prosecuting and jailing these women has been ineffective in reducing the illegal activities. These issues can be addressed by legalizing and regulating the prostitution industry. By using Nevada where brothels are legal as a model for the rest of the country enforcing strict regulations can better protect those victimized by the industry. Legalization of Prostitution Prostitution is often referred to as the world’s oldest profession. According to a survey conducted by ABC News Prime time 15% of all American men have paid for sex and 30% of single men over the age of 30 have paid for sex ("POLL: American Sex Survey - ABC News", 2004). The sex industry is one that affects many American citizens. The National Task Force on Prostitution suggests that over one million people in the US have worked as prostitutes in the United States, or about 1% of American women" (Prostitution in The United States - The Statistics, 2007). Currently prostitution is illegal by Federal law Title 18 Part I Ch.117 Sec. 2422 under “Coercion and Enticement” and can carry up to a 20 year prison sentence ("Title 18 United States Code Crimes and Criminal Procedure", n.d.). There are several arguments as to why prostitution should remain illegal. The three most prominent being that sex work increases violence and crime, spreads communicable diseases like STDs and AIDs, and that sex for money is immoral. However, by legalizing and regulating...

...Glady Rose C. Bunao IV-23 BSE- Values Prof. Arabit DISCRIMINATING PROSTITUTION IS IMPOSSIBLE ABSTRACT: Prostitution was considered as the “oldest profession” in the world because of its commonality. This is one of the most abundant societal issue recognize all over the country that can’t be avoided nor discriminate at all. This term paper aims : 1.) To define prostitution 2.) To understand the history of prostitution in the Philippines; 3.) To classify the type of prostitution; 4.) To identify the cause and effect of prostitution; 5.) To specify the cause of men in buying prostitutes 6.) To give facts about prostitution all over the world. The researcher used to have interview with the buyer of prostitute specifically in Bulacan. This methodology will strengthen the 3 major theories namely: a.) Symbolic Interactionism, b.) Functionalism c.) Conflict Theory. Charles Darwin stated that there’s a need for survival. Prostitution was a product of never ending poverty in the world and in order to survive, even though they don’t want to engage to this kind of work, they don’t have choice but to follow where the money is or else, they will die in hunger. The scarcity of primary needs pushed people to desperately make some money even if they became “immoral” .It is considered as immoral because until now, it is not accepted in the society and there’s still debate if the world must accept this profession since it can’t be stop as the powerful group protects and control the illegality...

...Prostitution should be legalised to protect the workers from violence and STDs such as HIV To the Home Secretary, I am writing to express the distress I feel about the current laws of prostitution and how legalising it would protect against STDs and violence. I have three main reasons as to why prostitution must be legalised. To begin your current laws banning prostitution are ineffective. Secondly legalising prostitution would be much safer for the prostitutes and thirdly legalisation can be part of a wider education in context to prostitution, which I will explain further later on. Before I consider the three reasons I want to heighten your awareness of the current abuse statistics and the current HIV statistics. a detailed study carried out in 2004 concluded that prostitutes do indeed have an increased chance of contracting STDs such a syphilis, hepatitis B and HIV. Over all 30,000 women a year worldwide die of HIV contracted through prostitution. These shocking figures surely warrant some consideration towards legalising prostitution. So why is prohibition ineffective? It may shock you to hear that the UK has increasing rates of prostitution and could be set to overtake the USA. Due to high unemployment these women (in a low paid, low skilled job) would earn around £5.93 an hour. The women who prostitute may not have any other source of income and desperately need the money for their families. We need to become comfortable with the fact that (worldwide) people...

...Exploitation of Women in Prostitution Submitted by: 9 Nadine Bo 27 Isabella Manuel III-Katarungan Submitted to: Miss Josel Cruz March 11, 2013 I. Introduction Many of today’s social issues have been around for hundreds of years. Social issues can be likened to a cancer; a cancer that grows inside but can be fully removed with proper treatment. This includes corruption, poverty, war crimes, racism and human trafficking. Human trafficking has gone far from being unnoticed in its many forms such as prostitution of women and even children. As early as 18th century BC, prostitution has been recognized as a profession. It was a sign of hospitality for the ancient Sumerians, for others it was obligatory for their beliefs and religion. However, man has gone far from the ways of the old. Now, the world is at that point in history where everyone should have learned from ancestors’ accomplishments and failures alike. Prostitution, commonly referred to as “the world’s oldest profession”, must have been solved as a social issue long ago, but similar to other issues it hasn’t been fully eliminated because it is a social problem. Social problems are deeply rooted in the nature of humans and society. As long as there are people willing to understand and work with these women towards social equity, there is a solution. There are efforts to remove prostitution and most of all the exploitation, harassment and abuse of those involved such as legal measures and private organizations...

...Prostitution; An Abolitionist Perspective We can learn a great deal about women and prostitution by studying the construction of prostitution as a « Social problem ». Two dominant questions oppose each other when it comes to prostition, One of them wich advocates abolition, and the other claiming its recognition as a full time job. These two positions appear to be largely balanced despite their opposition to the extent that they mobilize the same arguments, that is to say moral. But throughout his work, his analysis shows that prostitution is a widely heterogeneous universe, crossed by numerous divisions and whose participants are located mainly in the same position in the economic and social field. The first chapter explains the construction of prostitution and claims that it only creates misery and populism, as often when it comes to socially subordinate groups. In both cases, there is a certain essentialist representation of the prostitute - because often we forget men who engage in commercial sex, and the blurred boundaries of genders that include transvestites and transsexuals. More worryingly, it shows that some sociologists use their scientific legitimacy to defend highly ideological positions (in this case abolitionists). To get out of these preconceptions of considering prostitution not in only in the terms of sexuality – just like the idea of taboo in our society, but as a means of economical “subsistence” for individuals who practice it. This is often led...
