Private Prostitution In Australia

Social Imagination is the ability to understand how your own past relates to that of other people, as well as to history in general and social structures in particular. Basically it is a way of seeing our own and other people's behavior in relationship to history and social structure. Statistics show that at this given moment there are over 40 million prostitutes at work in the world. That is more than the populations of Canada and Australia. Prostitution is legal within 22 countries.

Canadian prostitution, the practice of exchanging money for sexual services” (Shaver, 2011) originally started in the 1800’s, and has never been an illegal act Canada. However, the dangers of the job, and safety risks these women are exposed to have always been prevalent on Canadian streets. The most common form of prostitution when the trade was established was off street prostitution. This can be defined as, “Prostitution that is issued out of escort agencies, massage parlours, private residences, brothels, bars, clubs, trick pads and bathhouses” (“Fact Sheet,” n.d.). [Correct Citation?]This industry thrived for decades with little no to police presence as the newly created transcontinental railways transported large masses of single men to the west coast. However, in 1890, new legal constrains, which were now enforced, made operating brothers a challenge and forced street prostitution to become more common, “street prostitution is a form of prostitution in which a sex worker solicits customers from a public place, most commonly a street, while waiting at street corners or walking alongside a street, but also other public places such as parks, benches, etc. The street prostitute is often dressed in a provocative manner.” (Shaver, 2011). When the number of women working the streets increased, the safety level decreased. In order to expand one’s knowledge on the dangers of female street prostitution, one must fully comprehend the differences between the two forms of

Prostitution, also referred to as “the oldest profession,” has always been a controversial and challenging social issue. It is practiced in many different forms including: call girls, convention prostitutes, apartment prostitutes, hotel prostitutes, house prostitutes, bar girls, streetwalkers, and parking lot lizards (). Civilizations such as the Samarians, and countries including Morocco and parts of India engaged in a form of prostitution known as temple prostitution. Temple prostitution is based on the belief that “generative activity of human beings possessed a mysterious and sacred influence in promoting the fertility of nature” (Clarkson). In other civilizations, such as the Roman and Byzantine Empires, prostitution was looked upon as less of a religious ceremony, and more of a sin practiced by “women of evil life” (ProCon.org). Today those differentiating view are still present in modern society, but there are also new ideologies surrounding the everlasting presence of prostitution. This Essay will use the Symbolic Interactionism Theory to identify those new ideologies, and evaluate the meaning of prostitution within three relationship: the husband and wife, the Call girl and client, and the Pimp and the sex trafficking victim.

Due to the fairly recent changes regarding the legality of prostitution in Canada, individuals who use and provide these services have been cautious (Warnica, 2015). Unfortunately, new laws may create more problems than benefits, such as, financial problems due to fewer people buying sex because it is illegal to do so. In this paper, I will explicate and assess the new changes to the law regarding prostitution in Canada, arguing that prostitution should be legal in Canada. Prostitution laws vary all over the world. Some jurisdictions are similar to Canada whilst others are extremely different. The United Kingdom is similar to Canada, as acts related to prostitution are illegal but prostitution itself is not. In Germany, Netherlands, and New Zealand prostitution is legal and so are brothels. However, in Argentina, France, Singapore and Greece brothels are illegal put prostitution is. There is no universal agreement on how governments should legislate or regulate prostitution.

The U.S Federal Government should legalize prostitution to ensure the safety of its citizens by promoting health, wealth, privacy, and reducing crime. In Nevada they have 19 brothels as of August 2013; the Mustang Ranch , established in 1971 being the most known and the first brothel house to be licensed in the state , that opened legally in 2005. If prostitution is legalized in other states as it is in Nevada , then there is a very high chance that crime and sexually transmitted disease (STD) rates may go down to an all time low. Although, some might say it is immoral to give your body to anyone you are not married to, the concept of sex related to pleasure of profit may be based on religious and social precepts that demonize the issue

support services must be put into place to give women a choice. Canada’s prostitution laws must be altered with the following policies:

Accordingly, for an act to be regarded as a trafficking offence, three elements must be fulfilled in the following order. i) the act: recruitment, transportation, harbour, etc.; ii) the means: the use of threat, deception or force and iii) the exploitation. Article 5 of the Trafficking Protocol also requires for the conduct set out in article 3 to be criminalized in domestic legislation. Therefore, trafficking-related legislation was introduced to Australia in 2003 by adding subsections for trafficking in persons, trafficking in children, domestic trafficking and debt bondage into the Criminal Code. However regardless of the improvements made, legal issues in Australia’s trafficking laws

It is rather odd to think that prostitution, which is considered to be the world’s oldest profession, would be illegal and harmful in nature. The issue of legalizing prostitution has entered public conversation around the world, which is severely divided. Many, like myself, consider prostitution to be a victimless crime. Despite such opposition to legalizing prostitution, many argue that legalizing it would result in decreased morality issues, increase the economic activity in the United States, and help decrease the number of sexually transmitted diseases among both prostitutes and those who patronize them,

Human trafficking refers to the illegal trade of humans, commonly used for the purpose of commercial sexual slavery and forced labor, used for the benefit of the trafficker or others. Human trafficking may include providing a spouse for the context of forced marriage (A marriage that is created without the full and free consent of one or both parties.), or the extraction of human organs and tissues to sell on the black market. Human trafficking can occur within the borders of one country or across multiple countries. Australia is a destination for people trafficked from; East-Asia, South-East Asia, and Eastern Europe, however the majority of people that are trafficked into Australia come from’ Thailand, Korea, The Philippines, and Malaysia.

Furthermore, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the previous sections of the prostitution laws in the Criminal Code in 2013, which occurred in the decision of the Attorney General of Canada v. Bedford case. The previous laws: living off the avails of prostitution, the ban on brothels and having public communication with clients, were deemed as an infringement to Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. These laws are deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court as it infringes on sex worker’s Section 7 rights, which is entrenched in the Charter. Hence, the Conservative government that are now out of power, put into effect Bill C-36, The Protection of Communities and Exploitation Act, which received Royal Assent. This new Bill amends

Imagine a population of 27 million people; populations more than Australia are the victims of human trafficking. This includes sex trafficking, child sex trafficking, forced labor, debt bondage, involuntary domestic servitude, and child soldiers. The methods are using threats, use of force, coercion, abduction, deception, vulnerability, or giving payments to the abductor. There are many contributing factors to human trafficking. These include the absence of laws in developing countries and failed states such as Libya. This also includes armed conflict around the world. Many governments are recruiting child soldiers not only for active combat but also for logistical and covert missions such as spies and lookouts. Forty percent of child soldiers

The practice or work of engaging in sexual activity with someone for payment is known as prostitution. Although some may frown upon it, it is an honest occupation and a source of income for numerous women in Canada. The woman’s perspective in this field should be emphasized and considered to be most important. There are various reasons women make the decision to be a part of such a line of work. It may not be an ideal path for some, but allows women to provide an income for their families and possibly overcome difficult financial circumstances. Sex work is a choice. One holds the freedom of deciding whether or not this lifestyle would be suitable for them. Contrary to popular belief of sex work being degrading to women, it can also empower women. Having the free will of engaging in sexual practices to earn a living is not degrading. If women are in control of their bodies and choose to be a part of this line of work it is not degrading. By decriminalizing prostitution, a lesser chance of violence, rapes, and human trafficking is enabled. Moreover, legalized prostitution decreases the need for pimps or middlemen, and increases the number of prostitutes earning an income solely for themselves and their families. Decriminalization also makes women safer due to the decrease in sexually transmitted diseases. Women can gain awareness of their own bodies without fear.

The illicit trafficking of humans for purposes of slavery continues to be a global issue and clear violation of fundamental Human Rights. Article 4 of The UDHR states; “No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms”. Human trafficking is defined as the commercial trade of human beings for the purpose of some form of slavery or exploitation, a clear violation of individual human rights. It is hard to quantify the extent of the issue, however the UN has estimated that there are over 2.5 million victims of human trafficking across state boarders. As an international issue, human trafficking requires international attention - however for international laws to be most effective they

In terms of sociology, Prostitution is a way for an individual to maximize their monetary intake or in other words “benefits” by selling the thing that they have readily, their bodies. In other words, it is the act or practice of participating in promiscuous sexual activity especially for money. Prostitution has been in existence for ages, going back to the Byzantine, Roman, Greek, and Egyptian Empires. Ironically, the ancient religions of those eras dealt with the needs of the group and consequently developed protocols for dealing with sexual relations that have propagated throughout time to the modern era. As a result, prostitution is not about to disappear anytime soon, despite relatively recent local laws. Also throughout centuries,
