The plight of sex workers
Reading about the plight of sex-workers in India was not surprising but really shameful and shocking(The bedding industry The Week nov 17)
Its tragic that the existance of the sexworkers cannot be eradicated,but we can all contribute in decreasing this menace and the plight,We should put in all our endevours to atleast minimise the number of sexworkers,improve thier living standards,prevent their exploitation and to extend them adequate medical cover
Since most of the girls are inducted into this at a stage or age when they cannot take a decision,and without consent,it is the onus of the parents,society, NGOs,social workers and the government to come forward to their rescue
Parents who cannot afford to bring up a female child due to poverty should consider them as domestic help.There is a great need of maids,domestic help and baby-sitters in the society today.This is a much better alternative fir girls and women being forced to prostitution. They can look forward to a more dignified and respectable living in this situation.
We should not forget that they are the main source of the spreading epidemic of AIDS and hence helping them is actually helping the society and the mankind in general
