Expanding Global Awareness Regulate Prostitution

Every year thousands of people of all genders, race, and age become victimized in sex trafficking. These people who become victims are usually vulnerable and are living in poverty structured areas. Many countries around the world are dealing with this serious issue, even in the United States. The United States federal law has defined sex trafficking as an act, “in which the commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age” (Polaris Project). Sex trafficking is not only seen as a crime but is also seen as a business of supply and demand to many people. This business makes a profit of about 9.8 billion dollars a year. In recent events it has been shown that sex trafficking increases during big sporting events. As a result, some actions have been taken to combat the issue, but not enough. Therefore, due to the fact that sex trafficking is a worldwide issue and it is increasing over time; I will argue how there needs to be changes to the approach we have on the issue of sex trafficking.

Prostitution is defined as “business of exchanging sexual services for martial compensation or financial befits” (Weitzer, R. J, p8). The practice usually happens legally in modern cites like Vegas, Berlin and

Sex trafficking or servitude is the abuse of ladies or any individuals , inside national or crosswise over global borders, for the motivations behind constrained sex work. Business sexual abuse incorporates obscenity, prostitution and sex trafficking of ladies and young ladies, and is described by the misuse of an individual in return for cash. Based on “Inside the Lives of American Sex Slaves” Some sex trafficking is very distinctive, for example, road prostitution. Be that as it may, numerous trafficking sufferers stay inconspicuous, working out of massage stores in rural neighborhoods, along with street prostitutes, where 75% are selling themselves because they are working for a pimp.

For the purpose of this study, male prostitutes and sexual acts such as pornography, stripping and erotic massages are excluded from the definition of prostitution. The terms ‘sex worker’ and ‘prostitute’ will be used interchangeably throughout the paper. The term ‘sex work’ was coined to circumvent the stigma that accompanies prostitution and to acknowledge that it generates income, like any other profession in our society (Sondhi, 2011).

The prostitution lifestyle has come under debate on whether it should be legal or not. The lifestyle has gotten an immensely horrific reputation due to the aspects of “The Game” or “The Life”. This has been caused by horror stories and slang terms like exit fee, meaning an unattainable amount of money being placed as a ransom of sort on a sex workers freedom. This isn’t the case for all tales of prostitution as some are freelance women who employ themselves and have no abusive man to answer too, called Renegades. Many of these women have become prostitutes for reasons like poverty, the so-called “easy” money, and being “turned out”, which is being forced into the life. Other terms like “Johns” or “Tricks” refer to the clientele which keep the oldest profession alive. The client base has been cited as saying that they partake in prostitution because they lack time for real relationships, size insecurities, and have intense sexual urges. These reasons have given many causes to both side of the argument of decriminalization. Despite the many

There are many inquires that arise with the subject matter of sex work. Prostitution or sex work is dramatically different internationally than in the United States. One of the primary motives is due to poor economic conditions or undesirable social circumstances in life. Also, in some instances children may be involuntarily introduced into sex work by their relatives in exchange for currency for their personal survival. This practice is used as a revenue of survival, the money obtained from their clienteles is what nourishes their bodies and gives shelter to their household. However, this behavior and business is quite dangerous due to the gamble of contracting a sexual transmitted disease such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus also commonly

The article discusses the relative safety that a brothel provides a sex worker as well as other positive rights, however it also discusses the issues that arise for sex workers such as labour policy and wages. This article also discusses street based sex workers and how they are usually more likely to be addicted to drugs, and more vulnerable to experience violence (Sullivan, 2010). Lastly, this article discusses private sex workers who make up the majority of sex workers in Australia (Sullivan, 2010). For a private sex worker, it “is illegal [ . . . ] to work with another sex worker or to employ a receptionist; they may employ a licensed security guard and (since 2009) can maximize their safety by making phone contact with another person before and after a job” (Sullivan, 2010, p.

The world of sex work has been around for many years. The movies portray it as a normal way of life in all the cowboy movies and put a glamorous feel around it. However, Hollywood is about selling dreams and fantasy, though reality is quite different. The reality is that sex work is dangerous. The act in and of its self is not dangerous, but the situations in which it needs to be conducted are. Today’s sex work encompasses more than just prostitution; the Pornography industry, Dom/Sub work, as well as exotic dancing are all considered sex work. The focus of this essay has been narrowed down to just the prostitution aspect of sex work and the decriminalization of it in terms of creating a safer environment for the worker. Decriminalization

Sex trafficking is one to the fastest growing crimes in globally and internationally and becoming more prominent. This crime affects million and millions of lives, mostly because victims want to leave their current country. According to (UNODC, 2016), sex trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of threat or use of forms of coercion, of abduction, of the abuse of power or of the giving or receiving of payments for the purpose of exploitation. Victims can be found anywhere rural, urban, suburban location, or on websites. There are many reasons why traffickers sell humans, but some are high demands and large profits. Naturally, most of us would not think that sex trafficking is happening right under our noses. But just think for a moment, a lot of the victims are exploited during major events held in different countries, the watching of pornographic movies and even the basic massages that many of us might enjoy.

Prostitution, as stated by Flemming, is known as a form of sexual activity, a kind of sexual style or category, and a form of economic activity, a way of making a living through the provisions of certain services, by behaving in accordance with, or falling into such a category (39). This definition, though, is controversial. While conducting research for this project, we found that most topics regarding prostitution and its affiliates were controversial. Each author gave a differing interpretation for the same data. Due to this, our project centered on the female prostitutes, even though there is evidence of male prostitutes.

The sex industry is rather large in Hungary and the majority of prostitutes who are called “sex workers” willingly participate in their act. There are many reasons why they choose this “occupation”. With the recent economic downturn numerous people were left without a job, and they need to act to survive. Most of these people decide to work as a prostitute, because the poverty level is high, they don't have opportunities to train for new jobs or their educational level is low to reach another level or society. The absolute majority strongly believe that their activity is merely a source

This type of prostitution is diverse and goes by numerous names in different languages. Some brothels are independent, while others are located in red light districts in cities. Also, some are formed as groups or apartments. This is observed frequently in America and Europe, as well as other countries in which prostitution is either lawful or unlawful. In some countries, the houses are established at certain sites throughout a city by the government. At inception, new prostitutes learn the job’s procedures, especially how to attract and maintain customers. The houses are controlled by leaders to whom 50-60% of income generated by prostitutes is given.

Global sex work is about different things to different people. For some women, it is about charting your own course and improving your life and that of your family. For others, it is about becoming chattel, another body to be used by whoever has the money to pay for it. For yet others, it is about marriage and migration, creating a life in a country that they believe is better suited to what they want out of life. The men involved with these women are also looking for different things. Some are looking for relationships, some are looking for sex, some are playing out cultural norms. What is certain is that globalization and related changes in cultures and economies is affecting the most personal parts of peoples lives around the world.

The purpose of this final paper is to have a full sociological analysis of my topic; which is prostitution. We are also critiquing and summarizing our topic from paper 1 and paper 2 that we have written. I will be viewing the sociology of prostitution and analyzing prostitution by calling into question many things such as its theoretical premise and the concept of prostitution. Sociologically have defined prostitution as “an occupation in which an individual sells sex in a promiscuous and emotionally indifferent manner” (Clinard, M. B., & Meier, R. F. 2011). This definition views prostitution in various parts and divides the definition into four sections. The sections are prostitution is an occupation; prostitution is a type of act of selling; prostitution as a sexual exchange; and prostitution is an emotionally and promiscuous activity. Analysis of each aspect reveals that the differences between prostitution and conventional behavior are provisional and that the distinction itself must be dissolved. Because it involves an array of ambiguous elements and paradoxical dimensions, the concept of prostitution fails to organize and to interpret data of direct observation in a coherent and comprehensive fashion.
