Prostitution Everywhere
Step eradicate prostitution should be made to ensure harmony and protect society from man exploitation of women.
between the steps can be taken are:
1. enforce the law.
for example, those who run prostitution shall be imprisoned and given counseling to them. laws must also be taken over the customers who subscribe to prostitutes. for example, in Malaysia for a Muslim who subscribe prostitutes may be prosecuted for committing sin.
2. stop operating night clubs and entertainment center
because based on this study, many prostitution occurred in the area. This factor may have caused his GRO providing sexual services here.
3. prohibits the purchase of condoms for those who are still unmarried.
because people who are not married are likely to subscribe to prostitutes because they have no wives to have sex.
4. government to help former prostitutes by giving them training and guidance to survive.
as a former prostitute to ensure that when this is out of the central character of their recovery will not be condemned to work again. otherwise, do work such as business or lawful use skills that were taught to seek it.
5. explain to the public and sex workers is that they will get the whore venereal disease of Syphilis and AIDS.
6. Prostitution prevention program
Destiny Rescue strongly believes that prevention is better than the cure. It is for this reason that we operate a prostitution prevention program, identifying girls and young women who are at risk of being lured or forced into a life of sexual slavery. These girls receive an education and training, providing them with skills to enter the workforce and earn a living in freedom.
Firstly, we travel to the poor villages and slums to identify “at risk” families, i.e. very poor, uneducated, in debt or those with a history of previously selling their daughters. We offer to house and care for their daughters while we put them through school and give them vocational training so they can get a well paid job, thus giving them choices other than prostitution.
Secondly, we assist these poor families through various development programs aiding them in becoming self-supportive, which removes the need for them to sell their daughters in the future. This is done through small business loans, pig breeding, agricultural training etc. In addition to this we offer other practical assistance like addressing hygiene issues through toilet installations and if possible, the supply of running water.
Thirdly, we offer education and awareness training to parents and village leaders, by making the parents aware of the unscrupulous practices of traffickers and the horrendous conditions the child would have to endure. Also, the risk of HIV and other diseases their daughters would be exposed to daily.
The goal of this project is to prevent children from being prostituted by giving job skills training to the child, assistance to the families and educating the parents on the dangers of prostitution and known methods of traffickers..

Country Population: July 2009 Estimate | Legal Status of Prostitution, Brothel Ownership, and Pimping | Related Current Information |
Population:156,050,883 | Prostitution: Limited Legality Female prostitution with minimum age 18 is legal. Male prostitution is illegal. Brothel Ownership: Legal Pimping: Legal | "Female prostitution was legal. Male prostitution was illegal, although local NGOs claimed it was common in the major cities. The authorities generally ignored the minimum age of 18, often circumvented by false statements of age, for legal female prostitution. The government rarely prosecuted procurers of minors, and large numbers of underage girls in prostitution worked in brothels. Local NGOs estimated the total number of female prostitutes was as many as 100,000. The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) estimated in 2004 that there were 10,000 underage girls used in commercial sexual exploitation in the country, but other estimates placed the figure as high as 29,000. Trafficking of women internally and internationally remained a problem... As many as 10,000 children were used in brothels for commercial sexual exploitation, and procurers of minors were rarely prosecuted. Government corruption greatly facilitated the process of trafficking. Police and local government officials often ignored trafficking in women and children for commercial sexual exploitation and were easily bribed by brothel owners and pimps."

2. Cambodia Population: 14,494,293 | Prostitution: Illegal Brothel Ownership: Illegal Pimping: Illegal | "The constitution prohibits prostitution; however, there is no specific legislation against working as a prostitute. Trafficking in women for the purpose of prostitution was a serious problem, despite laws against procuring and kidnapping for purposes of sexual exploitation. There were reports that police abused prostitutes. Despite increased crackdowns on brothel operators in Phnom Penh, prostitution and related trafficking persisted. Estimates of the number of working prostitutes ranged from 14,725 to 18,250. Sex tourism was a problem, fueled by pervasive poverty and the perception of impunity."

3. China(including Taiwan) Population:1,338,612,9 | Prostitution: Illegal Brothel Ownership: Illegal Pimping: Illegal | "In the biggest bust of prostitution related crimes in recent years, Beijing police last week arrested 38 prostitutes, 63 Internet technicians, five gang leaders, an unlicensed medical worker, along with 45 of the prostitutes' clients. The gang attracted clients for the prostitutes by randomly sending countless messages to Internet users who were logged on to major chat rooms, forums, or through instant messages. Police say the gang sent more than seven million messages to Internet users in the past month alone. The only job of most of the gang members was to send the soliciting messages from Internet bars. A reporter with the Beijing Daily says he received 32 on-line solicitations for the services of a prostitute in just a half an hour. Many messages purported to be from available young, female college students. Other messages directed people to blogs that contained nude pictures of women. In all the messages phone numbers were left where clients could make contact with a prostitute. Police say the youngest prostitute they arrested was just 15 years old and one of the gang members, surnamed Zhao, treated the prostitutes for venereal disease and provide [sic] them with condoms. The Beijing Daily reports that organized messaging for prostitution services remains rampant in online chat rooms." "Beijing Police Crack Biggest Internet Prostitution Gang," Xinhua, Jan. 21, 2007 |
Population: 1,166,079,217 | Prostitution: Illegal Brothel Ownership: Illegal Pimping: Illegal | "In the heart of Mumbai, India lies Kamathipura, one of the country's poorest districts and also its largest red light district, home to more than 60,000 sex workers... On the streets of Kamathipura, it's no challenge for Aronson [Frontline Producer] to find sex workers to talk with. In a small gathering she asks them frankly about the core issues of their trade -- economics and health. The women get the equivalent of US$1.50 for sex, $2 on a good night, less than a dollar on a bad night. To have sex without a condom, men will often pay more or, after a few visits, tell the women they love them. The women in the group laugh a bit about the men's proclamations of love, but there's a tragic fact behind their laughter: more than half of the sex workers here are HIV positive."

Population: 240,271,522 | Prostitution: Legal Prostitution is not defined in the law. Brothel Ownership:Legal Pimping: Legal | "Prostitution is not specifically addressed in the law. However, many officials interpreted "crimes against decency/morality" to apply to prostitution. Prostitution was widespread and largely tolerated, despite its contradiction with popular societal and religious norms. During the year security forces reportedly participated in operating brothels or protection rackets by shielding brothels from prosecution. International sex tourism reportedly continued, especially on the islands of Batam and Karimun and in major urban centers across the country... The number of child prostitutes in the country was unclear, but the problem was widespread. Many teenage girls were forced into or found themselves caught in debt bondage. At times law enforcement officials treated child prostitutes as criminals rather than victims. Corrupt civil servants issued identity cards to underage girls, facilitating entry into the sex trade. There also were reports of sexual exploitation of boys. The country was a destination for child sex tourism. During the year NGOs reported that long active pedophile rings continued to operate in Bali. NGO observers said many girls were forced into prostitution after failed marriages entered into when they were 10 to 14 years of age. There was no obvious violation of the law because their paperwork identified them as adults due to the fact that they were once married."

Brothel Ownership: Illegal Pimping: Illegal | "Although the 45-year-old Prostitution Prevention Law prohibits hooking, straight sex has been widely practiced at soaplands, which number around 1,270 nationwide... ...The law says that it is prohibited to sell or buy sex, but it does not penalize those acts. Instead, it penalizes prostitutes for soliciting or waiting for customers in public places, such as on the street and in parks. It also penalizes anyone who forces somebody to engage in prostitution, exploits a prostitute or gives financial support to a business engaged in prostitution... ...According to the National Police Agency, there were 908 fashion health massage parlors and 5,425 'outcall-style' fashion health parlors that were publicly registered in 2000 under the Law Regulating Adult Entertainment Businesses, etc. What protects the operation of the fashion health parlors is simple -- they only offer oral sex, anal sex and other sexual services that are not interpreted as sex in the prostitution law... ...[In] 2000 1,225 people [were] arrested on suspicion of violating the prostitution law. But that it is believed to be just the tip of the iceberg. Research conducted by Bank of Yokohama on the state of the underground economy in Japan in fiscal 1998 estimated that unreported earnings from commercial and 'amateur' prostitution come to around 945 billion yen..."

Population: 22,665,345 | Prostitution: Illegal Brothel Ownership: Illegal Pimping: Illegal | "According to press reports, prostitution is illegal; there is no available information on the prevalence of prostitution in the country. There continued to be reports of trafficking in women and young girls who had crossed into China... Some North Korean women and girls who voluntarily crossed into China were picked up by trafficking rings and sold as brides to Chinese nationals or placed in forced labor. In other cases, North Korean women and girls were lured out of North Korea by the promise of food, jobs, and freedom, only to be forced into prostitution, marriage, or exploitive labor arrangements. A network of smugglers facilitated this trafficking. Many victims of trafficking, unable to speak Chinese, were held as virtual prisoners, and some were forced to work as prostitutes. Traffickers sometimes abused or physically scarred the victims to prevent them from escaping. Officials facilitated trafficking by accepting bribes to allow individuals to cross the border into China."

Pimping: Illegal | "More than 1,400 people have been caught buying, selling, or brokering sex around the country over the last ten days, the National Police Agency said Thursday. The agency launched a nationwide crackdown on brothels on April 6 continuing until the end of May. It apprehended a total of 1,477 people involved in prostitution during the first seven days, taking 14 of them into custody.

Brothel Ownership: Illegal Pimping: Illegal | "'Hey, Joe,' they shout at passing men, much the way another generation of prostitutes once shouted to 'GI Joes' at the former Clark Air Force Base across the street from the red-light district. Neon lights, strip joints, 'girlie' bars and 1950s-style hotels jam together as pop music blares from the clubs. For more than 100 years, this area has been a capital of prostitution and hedonism, dating back to a time when the women were called 'camp followers.'... Nursing and teaching, more traditional women's work in the Philippines, pay a fraction of the sums these women can make. That is, if their pimps allow them to keep their money. A University of the Philippines study in the late 1990s estimated there were about a half-million prostitutes in the country."

A government study into the penal code's provisions on sexual offences is expected to be completed by the end of the year, the Straits Times newspaper reported. Local authorities, while declining to provide specific reasons behind the study, said it was part of a 'holistic review' of Singapore's laws on sexual offences and may include criminalizing sex with minors overseas. 'We constantly review our laws to keep abreast of changing times and norms,' the Straits Times quoted a Ministry of Home Affairs spokesman as saying. Under current laws, having sex with girls under 16 is considered statutory rape, punishable by up to five years in jail and a fine of S$10,000 (US$5900).... Prostitution is legal in Singapore but pimping and public solicitation are not. Licensed brothels operate in designated areas..."

But it is an omnipresent part of the Thai society, tacitly accepted and tolerated. Prostitution goes on in brothels in the countryside, behind the garish signs over Bangkok's girlie bars and massage parlors.
