The Dark Road

“Sitting in my cell thinking what the hell is wrong with me

I'm going down for prostitution

and don't know what to do next waiting

to see what the judge has in store for me

I am scared to death

I let a pimp abuse me and let him walk free

damn

I wish I could go back in time scared to look my mom in the eye

scared to become judged by everyone I know

How am I just going to let this ride off me?

So now, sitting where I started all because I'm too scared to talk about what's going on with me.

In my cell every day, thinking why

I let him walk free now I am doing a 6 month bid for someone who doesn't even care where I am

I'm in jail in my cell aching from the pain of jail.”

This aching poetry of a young girl is written be Paulette Essie and I can’t resist myself to start my article with this heart touching poems. What a beautiful poem this person has written. A poor girl may be the age of 8 or 9 is suffering due to the crime that she isn’t known about. She forced to be a prostitute and now she is jail and having punishments that she is didn’t even wished to commit.

So let’s come to the main topic in which we are going to read now. We all are aware about the fact that Women security is the main concern that India is dealing with nowadays. Not just small villages or hostels, but main cities like Delhi are not even safe and secure for women.

The recent case of “nirbhaya in New Delhi” makes many people wonders that if girls should be allowed to go out and study and work or they MUST kept confined in 4 walls of the house for the sake of security.  To avoid this topic of women security, many ill brain people raise the issues that girls should go out at the time of 8 at night, or girls should be wearing proper clothes or simply they say that might girls provoke them.

My concern here in this topic is NOT women security. I am raising a different issue that every one of us must consider once. And that topic is –The dark road of Prostitution! By the work of slut or prostitutes, we have a very disgust feeling? Isn’t? It is may be because of the fact that we always keep the notion of prostitution as the sex for money. I want my readers to know beyond all this. I hope after this article your prospective changes.

A woman is a Woman!!!

First of all let me tell you what exactly the prostitution means??? It is sexual service in the lieu of money. In India, it is NOT ILLEGAL!!!!  But activates related to it are illegal like petition for sex in a public place, pavement packed, owning a brothel are crime.

How it gets started???

It is said that in ancient India, many rich kings ask nagarvadhu to sing and dance in front of them. At that era, these girls are not referred as prostitutes, but “Brides of Town”. It is a fact that the Portuguese in Goa during 16 to 17^th century used to slave Japanese young girls for sexual pleasures.  In 18^th and 19^th century, when British comes to India they set a comfort sex zones for them. They actually wishes to have child and use women as a tool t satisfy their sexual pleasures! They set prostitutes rings.

It is not hidden and a secret trade of women in Indian society. Using a women body for your own pleasure and calling her a whore is a sin nest things that man can ever do in the past till now.

There are many Indian organizations that work in the regard of the safeguard of this perish and equal to dead women to come out from this “ dark road” and live a peaceful life!  These organizations have many plans and parameters to get the goal perfectly.

      Predominance

It is said to know that where we hear all the times that women are scoring more than men in studies or women doing better in all fields as compared to men, this data never raise to public! There are almost 2 millions female sex workers in India. It is indirectly means that we are avoiding 2 millions man powers in India.  In 2007, the Ministry of Women and Child Development states that 3 millions female sex workers in India, out of which 35% of them are trade from outside India. Worst thing to know about this is that mostly girls are below the age of 18 years or so.  The number is raising fast and it is becoming pitiable and wretched.

Locations:

There are many places where these sex workers are being humiliated and use for sexual pleasure for navigable amount of money that you spend for having a mean at Mc. Donald’s even. They are available in lane in Kamathipura, a red light district in Mumbai. It is the most practiced and didn’t have any official sanction too.  The second comes in the list is Asia’s largest red-light districts are Sonagachi in Kolkata, Kamathipura in Mumbai and G. B. Road in New Delhi. They have thousands of sex workers.

Children Enrolment:

It is sad to see the data of the children included in this rackets. It is estimated that around 1.2 millions children take the pictures in it. At the age when they didn’t even know what all these sexual organs are all about, they are forces to get in prostitution where they have no exit doors.

Legal status:

The low that deals with the status of sex workers is called as The Immoral Traffic (Suppression) Act (SITA), 1956. It states that prostitution is legal and they can practice it solicit way or we can say that they are not allowed to peruse men or customers in public. If anyone practice he sexual act in public place they will be punished. It also added as having a brothel or managing a racket under the brothel is also crime in India. It is also important to know that government of India too added that women cannot carry these services up to the 200 yards of public places. They are NOT taken as labours in India and hence all the rights of labours like payments and security is not there for these sex workers too. It is also given that if any girl who wants to get out of these services and get a mental rehabilitation, they can ask governs to help them.

Indian Panel Code (IPC) is the one that take care of the rights of the sex workers. Over the years, India is making efforts to make prostitution as legal service in India to avoid the over exploitation of sex workers.

PITA:

PITA means that The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act that is a 1986 amendments in INDIA. This act is founded to limit and abolishing the prostitution in INDIA.  The main factors that PITA considers on are:

      Any sex worker who seduces any man in public will be prosecuted. No girl can publishes their phone number in public or social media sites for sex work. It can in turn to them an Imprisonment of 6 months and a fine.

      Any sex workers cannot work in public areas; it can cause imprisonment of 3 months to the female.

      Man who is engaged in sex with the sex workers in public will be charge of imprisonment of 3 months. And if the sex workers is below the age of 18 years, the imprisonment to 7 to 10 years.

      Any man who is living with a prostitute and living on her earning, will also come under the crime can be put behind the bars for 2 years.

      The landlords and managers that keep the brothels are comes under the crime and can be put behind the bars for 3 years.

      If any female or sex workers want to get out of these services and ask for help, government can provide them with protective home for assistance.

So far it is good form government part!!! I am impressed and Indian government have given so many help and try to keep force sex services in India.

The main concern is that what all reasons force these girls to get into prostitutions?? We have good survey team with us that try to find out many reasons.  They include:

      Fellow citizen in involvement with parents

      People as pimps

      Sex workers in same locality

      Mysterious person/accidental conference with pimp

      Mother/sister/near relative in the occupation

      Lover export to brothel

      People gives counterfeit expectation job

      Husband (legally married)

      childish college student selling to brothel

Its Sad.
