Chapter 10. Would prostitution be more injurious or less injurious to the public health, welfare, and morality if it were legalized and regulated?
It is one of the most debated topic that Whether the prostitution shout be legalized or not . Different people have different views on it. According to me:-
I think prostitution should be not be legalized as it plays significant role in increasing the criminal activity like human trafficking, kidnapping etc. The another reason is that it increases the chances of occurring sexual transmitted diseases which she dangerous for life like ;- AIDS. Women should be given respect as they are also mother or sister of someone and they indulge in prostitution field because of need of money. It would be more injurious for public health. The public welfare would also very adversely affected as it give rise to illegal activities. It also have negative impact on children and teenagers and can ruin their life.
It is morally wrong to compel a women to go on the path of prostitution as she doesn't do it by choice instead she is compelled to do it. Every one need basic things to survive which includes food, cloths and shelter and when some women don't get it, then after compelling they have to choose way of prostitution. Government should provide equal opportunity to every one so that no one have to go that bad way of prostitution.
