Abstract:

Within the larger subject of the regulation of prostitution under the British Empire in South Asia, this article examines the figure of the White Prostitute in brothels and lock hospitals in colonial India. The White Prostitute in colonial India was in every way segregated from her native counterparts: in medicine, in physical quarters and in popular conceptions of her mobility, agency and rationality. Despite their mistreatment and vulnerability in many sources, white prostitutes were understood as closer to the ideal of regulable, liberal subjecthood compared to Indian women working in the s

Abstract:

Prostitution had a part of Indian civilization since its inception and marked as one of the oldest occupations in the world. In Indian society, prostitution is mostly regarded as taboo and often associated with violence, prejudice and exploitation. Hence the need of necessary attention has been given to its regulation. The issue of formalizing or legalizing this activity is coming up more and more as a result of the moral ambiguity that surrounds it. The post-independence and earlier governments have taken a number of measures regarding prostitution. This paper evaluates the technical flaws in

India, which justifies its claim to be one of the very ancient civilizations of the world, presents the rise and development of prostitution. Recently, in India it has been estimated that there are approximately 3 million sex workers, the vast majority of whom are between the ages of 15 and 35. Here, prostitution is considered as a taboo which is not openly discussed.

Prostitution has been there in our society since time immemorial. However, the concept of children entering this flesh trade is relatively new and is becoming rampant. It refers to the sexual exploitation of a child for remuneration in cash or in kind, usually but not organised by an intermediary (parent, family members, procurer, etc.). Various reports show how India houses the highest number of children who are engaged in flesh trade. Child prostitution is one of the worst and the most unbearable abuses of human rights.

The object was to prevent the military visiting these segregated areas, in the absence of effective Cantonment Regulations for registering, inspecting, and treating prostitutes.

Thus, other countries that have created a legal infrastructure for surrogacy offer valuable paradigms and best practices.

Abstract:

This paper uses the material from a Project of the Ministry of Women and Child Welfare, which we undertook in 1991-92, related to the study, rehabilitation and organizing of Jogins in Andhra Pradesh in India. As researchers, we faced a lot of dilemma while making the research design and evolving a methodology for the study. Jogins are the modern form of the traditional Devadasi system, which existed in India from the 10th century. Dedicated to the temple to carry out various temple-related duties, these girls were married to an immortal God, and since they could never become widows, they were

Abstract:

Bonded labor or bonded slavery and bonded prostitution in India is a legacy left by British colonialism. Under this system, a person has to fall into servitude to whomever he or she has loaned money from with no means of repaying that debt. Mahasweta Devi has raised this social phenomenon in her writing, demonstrating that tribal people are those who have been victimized by this system. This study explores the issue of bonded slavery and bonded prostitution by analyzing two stories from Devi’s Imaginary Maps. This literary work depicts the plight of tribal communities as a result of the exploi

Abstract:

All over the world prostitution is linked to poverty and the responsibility for aged parents and large families. Women who have little or no education and who lack job skills fall into prostitution because they see no other alternative. Social rehabilitation of sex workers should be the priority of government programs like the one described by Tabibul Islam in Contemporary Women's Issues (Rights-Bangladesh: New Attempt to Rehabilitate Sex Workers, from Global Information Network 1999). In various parts of the world there are NGOs (non-governmental organizations) involved in health developmenta
