Prostitution

Prostitution is the work of a prostitute who sells her/his body for money. Most prostitutes are women and only few men. There are escort agencies and prostitution companies available in the UK. There are many disadvantages on prostitution – the history of the prostitutes’ lives. Many women who are drug addicts, they may be forced themselves to sell their body to get money they need to get the substances they need (mostly on heroin). These women are risking their life. In the news about three years ago, there was a man called Steve Wright who murdered 5 prostitutes in Ipswich area within 10 days period.

I remember recently on a Jeremy Kyle show, there was a young girl aged 18 years old. She is a prostitute because she enjoys having good money and be able to treat herself. She has no history of alcohol and drug abuse. Jeremy Kyle was trying his best to change her perspective on prostitution by including ex prostitutes who explained what had happened to them during the prostitution – rough sex which can lead to their death, abuse etc. After hearing the stories, the young girl hasn’t change at all. I was very shocked that it is a fact that she enjoys her job too much and she doesn’t even think that she will end up murdered.


While researching on prostitution, I found out that there are many girls, young as 12 from Asia who moved into the UK. They thought they would be working as a nanny and housekeeper but they were forced to prostitution. The worst bit is that their parents sell their daughters for money. It is an extremely sad story and I feel for those young girls who are being sexually abused by men.
