Prostitution and Trafficking of Women and Children: the
dynamics of Supply and Demand
We will discuss
about prostitution and trafficking that involve millions of women and even
children. Prostitution may say as the oldest job around the world. By prostitution,
they (I mean women) can get money easily and quickly. There are many reasons
why they decided to sell her body to men as a buyer because they have
difficulties to get a normal job, dissatisfaction with their partner of marriage,
Sexual harassment when they were young and another
reason is trafficked by pimps.
Now let’s going
to talk about prostitution and sex trafficking. Sex trafficking is the process
of sends victims into prostitution, victims are women and children that
recruited by pimps. Prostitution and sex trafficking are based on balance
between the supply of victims to the demand for victims to provide the sex
acts. The pimps are exploiters who recruit the victims, to provide “sex
workers” to be promote to buyers. The pimps would get some money from the
victims and buyers as tips.
When men search
for sex experiences they will look for desire of satisfying sex in a place of prostitution, that
is the reason prostitution and trafficking begin with the demand for victims to
be used in prostitution. In Indonesia
prostitution is illegal, but in fact there are many places of prostitution even
they have a security to save the prostitution activities, for example there is
a Dolly in Surabaya the famous place of
prostitution in Indonesia.
In countries where prostitution is illegal, it begins when pimps place orders
with criminal networks for women and children.
Stopping the demand maybe one of many
solutions to prostitution and sex trafficking, there are four components that
make-up the demand:
1)
The men who buy commercial sex acts
Maybe they have unsatisfying relationships, want to have sex
experience with another partner, or maybe want to have sex desire. They are
seeking sex experience without relationship responsibilities.
2) The exploiters
The exploiters, including traffickers, pimps, and then build a
sex industry. They recruit many girls, women and even children to serve buyers.
3) The State
As the example, Dolly in Surabaya.
In fact Indonesia
not legalizes prostitution, but there are many places of prostitution. Maybe
they lack of power, or there may be cooperation between the
security forces of sex workers or maybe
the pimps so they have a license for illegal
prostitution.
4) The Culture
Particular mass media, we know that media has a large role in
normalizing prostitution portraying prostitution as glamorous or a away to get
a lot of money easily and quickly. Within the commercial world of
entertainment, we know that films is media to publishing pornography
production, I mean there are films that sells pornography.
By that discussion of prostitution and women & children
trafficking we can make sure that we have to try normal way to earn money, no
matter how difficult to earn money but we are religious people, we know that
prostitution is sin, but we should not to under estimate or rough them, they
still a human.
If you want to stop them to be in prostitution, not just nonsense
but we have to act maybe give them normal work or something that positive.
Would you??? (^_^)
