Prostitution in Malaysia & Asia

Save the world... Say no to prostitution...

Prostitution Everywhere

Prostitution generally is defined as the practice of providing sexual services for money, but because it requires a buyer and seller it can more appropriately be defines as a practice of exchanging money for sexual service. Heterosexual prostitution (men as buyers and women as sellers) is most common; homosexual prostitution between men exist on a smaller scale. Lesbian prostitution between women exist but there is a little evidence in it the research literature.


According to Mellisa Farley, paper presented at the 11th International Congress on Women's Health Issues, University of California college of Nursering, San Francisco. 1-28-2000. All prostitution causes harm to women. Whether it is being sold by one’s family to a brothel, or whether it is being sexually abused in one’s family, running away from home, and then being pimped by one’s boyfriend, or whether one is in college and needs to pay for next semester’s tuition and one works at a strip club behind glass where men never actually touch you – all these forms of prostitution hurt the women .


We can conclude that prostitution is an act of violence against women which is intrinsically traumatizing. In a study of 475 people in prostitution (including women, men, and the transgendered) from five countries (South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, USA, and Zambia):

hi..i'm hazim...
Prostitution is considered one of the oldest professions in the world. Today prostitution being one form of commercial sex of a multibillion-dollar industry. Although the majority of people claim that prostitution is usually accompanied with violence and infectious diseases, including AIDS, and that women often experience post-traumatic stress disorder, psychotic episodes, and suicide attempts, but the prostitution issue is still controversial.No business can afford to create a product for which there are no buyers. Obviously, in prostitution, demand creates supply. Because men want to buy sex, prostitution is assumed to be inevitable (cannot be avoided),therefore is being “normal."
But in Islam,prostitution is illegal and too against the law of Islam..

hi..i'm Hazim.. the Internet causes increased prostitution
Some prostitutes use the Internet to find customers. A prostitute may use adult boards or create a website of their own with contact details, such as email addresses. Adult contact sites, chats and on-line communities are also used. In many parts of the developed world, the Internet is one of the main ways in which buyers find and contact prostitutes. This, in turn, has brought increased scrutiny from law enforcement, public officials, and activist groups toward online prostitution. In 2009, Craigslist came under fire for its role in facilitating online prostitution, and was sued by some Asia Tenggara state attorney generals, local prosecutors, and law enforcement officials. Craigslist has since altered its policies to make it more difficult for prostitutes to advertise anonymously, but still allows the advertising of sexual services, which critics contend includes illegal prostitution.
