Abstract:

Since the conception of marriage, prostitution has been in Indian society and is as old as civilization itself. Prostitution is now often associated with violence, prejudice, and exploitation. In Indian society, prostitution is frequently regarded as taboo; hence the necessary attention has not been given to its regulation. This essay explores the relationship between prostitution and exploitation and violence, as well as the potential impacts of legalising and regulating prostitution on the abuse of sex workers. The post- and pre-independence governments have taken a number of actions addressing prostitutes, numerous books and articles on its legalization, as well. While these publications focus on a more general aspect of the issue, this research article examines two very particular issues. No matter if it is legal or illegal, prostitution will always exist. Therefore, it is preferable to confront the issue at hand and perhaps come up with solutions to the issues that affect women and children who engage in prostitution.
