A PLEA FOR SEX WORKERS

Well Iam penning down my views and reflection of my thoughts when I dwell on the plight of sex workers. The title is quite suggestive that I am supporting sex workers. Neither am I sympathizing nor showing pity for someone, but I just want people to see the magnitude of the problem with eyes wide open. Thousands of women were barred in jails from the bars in mumbai n nearby places. These women are now homeless, jobless, and the indian judiciary is not even executing any plans for their support. Nobody is thinking how these women will earn their bread? How will they run their families?
Most of the women are forced and indulge in this sex trade only for money as there is no one to run the house or the male members are drunkards or just want money. Thus, there is no way out left for women.
Films like Chandni Bar and Chameli really make us think about women who go through this life. The situations may be varied, but we should see the gravity of the problem and that is to provide a backup.
Either the government should legalize the bar dancers getting into the sex trade because closing bars is not at all a solution.
This trade is going on behind the walls. Girls are kidnapped, they are forcefully dragged into this dirty world. Pimps make them do this dirty job, serving men with their bodies. It is a disastrous problem and the government, people and every educated citizen should give it a thought and atleast give some solution to this menace.
P.S. - Do not be biased or orthodox in your thinking. It is a reality and we all have to face it so when ever one comes across anything related to this issue, one should be practical and rational bacause we live in a democracy and democracy runs by the people, for the people and of the people.
