first of all, i do agree with one commonn point (which even i thought of) that the girls are forced up in this bussiness. as bond suggested the figures 90% girls. well, to this point i thoroughly agree and this infact is an unputdownable fact, but let me make up the story of hema a litttle.
Hema, she is a prostitute, who was working in the red light areas of bombay lately, a client ended her career, bt how did it started? Since i am making up this story, lets all assume that she was forced in this flesh business, but there are a few ways to be forced. Kidnapped and forced or forced because of poverty. may be she was kidnapped and then put into this business or her parents sold her because of poverty( this happens in Orrisa Bihar and Up and CG during famine and because of poverty) or she found her dreams of living a nice and posh liffe, just like they use to show in TV, by poverty. well the latter is a modest way of saying that she was forced, and ya she was forced.
now lets make the equations a bit more complex( not more complex than JEE prep or epsilon delta method). if she was kidnapped, she might had been kidnapped from a decent family, or from some village of orisa and from a poor family. if the former case has happened, then the police has some pressure, and they usually end up finding the girl at some place. and even if the girl is forced then that counts near about 10% of that 90% mentioned.
lets just keep this discussion in the back of the mind, and talk some facts. lately i was reading an article by Mr. Harsh Mandar, he wrote a sad story about the death of a girl in orisa, he was acquainted with. her father was a peasant in the village, one day some due to some disease( dn remember what) her mother was hospitalised. due to greedy doctors and their demands of bribery her father lost all their saved money. he then borrowed some money from a relative, and buyed seeds to do farming, but that year famine hit the state, and he was debt ridden. they dint had enough food to eat. one fist full of rice was enough for the family of five, that too thrice in a week.
one day that relative turns up, and made a deal. he will raise up his daughter, and in return all the debt will be cleared. her parents thought that their girl will die in this poverty along with them, so to save her, they sold her. this case went to police and press, and the father was put in jail along with that relative. The girl was "RESCUED". in hearing, her father and mother kept on saying (they had lost their other children)" AAP LOG KYO NHI SAMAJH RAHE HO, HUM USE PYAR KARTE THE< NAHI CHATE THE K WO MAR JAE, ISLIE HAMNE AISA KIA" but no one listened from the same "POOR" perspective he was talking about. he was bailed, again it cost money and they came at worse situation than they were before. The girl died a few weeks later, but no press personnel came to check that what was the reason.
The sole point of mentioning this incident, Most of the POOR girls, are forced either by their family or SOCIETY to do this. No one wants to be a prostitute, but in some way, prostitution is better than dying of poverty, dying of malnutrition. prostitutes, strippers, bar dancers, they earn money in big cities and live an honored life in their respective hometowns. When money comes, respect comes along, and no one asks where did it came, only rumor talks, nothing much; But this all is far below a good life.
I am not saying that if we are legalizing it that means we will open some frankfinn institute, that will train prostitutes, not air hostesses; i m not saying that our mothers, and sisters will then pick up this option as a career. I am just saying that it is to help those who are suffering because they thought that prostitution is a better business than poverty.
They already are in hell, prostitution will help them coming out. It will not happen all of a sudden, it might take a decade, or a generation, but it surey will open some doors instead of closing them.
Legalizing it will meann that prostitutes will have some social status, self respect. they will be able to walk with us, not like they have to hide all the time. Their children will be treated with all due respect. There will be complications, same complications that the Black people faced in USA to prove their existence, or even worse, but it will contribute towards their good future. I m intentionally using the word Good instead of Bright here, coz it will take time.
Now it will help them too who are literally forced. What happened cant be undone, but if the process of legalization starts, if society give them equal rights, then those who dont want to continue it can come out. At least they will have some way out. They wont fear that the society will not accept them. It will be better if a prostitute comes out of this pit, than dying (suicide or slow death). When a girl is forced, I am sure, she is not aware what can be done, she is under tight security of pimps, but later she can always come out, no one in the "CIVILIZED"(what we think of us) society will say that she is "CHARACTERLESS"(like we all are very good fellas, look in your own soul).
This might be a vice, but only if drinking and smoking is a vice, which dont seem to be. We in India, are drinking too regularly (both rich and poor), and one day we will end up like germans!!
A wound will never heal if its left open for houseflies, water dust. prevention is done. and if someone is curing something, then he automatically takes prevention, but only prevention might not heal the wound.
