PROSTITUTION IN INDIA

India has a big question for today, "Should prostitution be legalised", will that serve prostitutes with respect and health care

Will that change the Indian stereotype senario

Will that help us to over come hypocrisy which is hypothetical

It is the world’s oldest profession, but it is constantly looked down upon by society. Not always preferred by choice, but sometimes the only option.

But at times a profession by choice, which is often judged as a poor character as well.

Prostitution is the profession which is battling the fight for legality right now. Should Prostitution be Legalised in India? Where exactly do we stand?

India being a neighbour of countries like Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan has become a nation where ladies from these countries recruit themselves here or are brought by fraud to India and sold at the red light areas where the go through violence, rape, gang rape and a degraded life.

India has about 3 million prostitution according to the latest data of 2015, where 1.2 million are under age of 18. Average girl enters the sex trade in India is reported to be between 9 years to 12 years.

Today India is the 3rd largest nation suffering from AIDS, by 2020 65% of nation will be youth, thereby it is very important of the government to formulate policies to help the female from not being raped, trafickked, sold, beaten up and kept unhealthy.

The image is sourced from shaktivahini.org, this case study is an apt example of the present senario and in the hypothetical world of being safe we are living in where the little kids of rural areas are maltreated and brought and sold to big cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Goa.

On an average the human traffiking industry is estimated to generate 4 billion per year which goes in account of black money.

A priority should be on ending forced prostituiton,especially for children. "apne app" and anti trafficking group says brokers pay 4000Rs. per family of village girls who are raped by customers and raids of brothels by NGO and police to rescue victims often fail because family later return the children to the same broker.

Somebody who is suffering the most in the whole fight of keeping it legal or let it go hidden, are the minors who have no idea of what a penis is about and what a vagina is about, all they know is the pain has is caused after being raped, all the know is the danger of getting STD'S. Minors who havenot even started of with their puberty and the cyle of mensturation and being prepared to get pregnant, the nation and the policies need to make policies for them, rather effective policies, so no prostitute in India feels she was raped, her willingness to join this profession should make her a sexworker and not the will of brothel.
