It is interesting to note that prostitution and sex trafficking are widely spread all over the world today. A strong and indomitable will to leave motherland and lead a better life full of fun, money or a perspective of successful and happy cross-cultural marriage beckon young naive girls from poor developing countries. In the light of such considerations women determine to go abroad as waitress, dish washers in cafes and as housemaids in swanky and luxurious hotels.
Unfortunately, a language barrier, lack of knowledge, skills and an absence of a proper education force girls to be engaged into prostitution or even worse – they become victims of sex trafficking. In the present paper I am going to highlight the difference between such notions as ‘prostitution’ and ‘sex trafficking’, move on to the reasons and main consequences of prostitution and sex trafficking, cast light upon the evolution of sex industry and find out the ways how human rights can influence sex trafficking and prostitution.
In fact, sex trafficking frequently presupposes coercion of girls and women to become sex workers irrespective of their will. Potential victims are considered to be usually adolescent males and females, children and young attractive women who can be kidnapped, deceived, intimidated or even forced due to the ignorance of laws and their rights. It should be specially stressed that child prostitution happens to be widespread in Asia. The majority of girls and even young guys leading a prostitute life are regarded to be sex slaves and suffer from constant acts of violence and permanent rapes.
Especially it concerns foreign girls who have left their home regions or native countries. In such cases a whore is believed to be a coerced victim of her panders. Sex workers are frequently abused by clients and customers. At any rate a female involved into sex trafficking should be regarded as a human engaged into a dangerous activity and as a victim who needs great help and complete support. Actually, sex trafficking happens to be the most fast-growing kind of crime in the world. According to statistics almost forty million harlots are engaged in the sex industry in the world.
“Sex trafficking is a type of human trafficking involving the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbour or receipt of persons, by coercive or abusive means for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Sex trafficking is not the only form of human trafficking and estimates vary as to the percentage of human trafficking which is for the purpose of transporting someone into sexual slavery” (Farley, 2005).
It should be taken into account that in the present research I single out two types of whoredom: indoor and outdoor ones. Indoor prostitution embraces “massage parlors and saunas, brothels, strip clubs, and escort prostitution. Escort prostitution simply means that an ad is placed online or in a newspaper, that she or her pimp has a cell phone, and that there is access to a home or hotel room or car. ‘High-class-call-girl’ prostitution means that more money passes through several people’s hands in …
