“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 17th century used to slave
Japanese young girls for sexual pleasures.
In 18th and 19th 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.
