In India perhaps there are 20 million or more sex workers (prostitutes). They have been driven into this profession not because they enjoy it but because of abject poverty. The massive poverty of about 80% of our population of 1200 million people is the real cause of exploitation of women. To fill their stomachs these poor girls have to sell their bodies. These girls should have had a life of happiness, but instead they get caught in the flesh trade because of their poverty at a very early age and their lives are ruined.
Surely it cannot be said they enjoy a life of dignity envisaged by Article 21 of the Constitution.
Its an issue which is never put up or discussed publically as questions our moral but rape, domestic violence and female feticide doesn't.
