The oldest profession.....

They term it as the oldest profession in the world. And I saw a debate on whether should it be legalised in our country. Am referring to is Prostitution and the debate was conducted by Burkha Dutt in her show"We the People". The debate was the resultant of the new act passed by the govt which treats the abettor as a criminal and the sex worker as a victim. The best thing about the act is though there are some changes in the existing law, there's not much change in the stance towards the pimping.



I was quite amused when I heard some voices supporting the legalisation of Prostitution. Though we have to treat them as a fellow human beings and their Human rights needs to be protected, its not quite right in my opinion that its right to legalise it. Some people strongly advocated to legalise as it cant be curbed and the only way out for the govt is to legalise and make revenue out of it. Can legalising a crime be the solution if we cant control something?

I can only laugh at such people. They have to realise the problem is much bigger. Legalising Prostitution might result in the number of Human traficcing. It might also cause a problem for residents who stay near the Professional zone.Its difficult to keep in control. Instead of tightening the noose around those involved we're discussing about giving them a red carpet welcome. Its talks such as these which scares me to think about the future of the society.
