Justin Lugo Jeff and PG College Bound 901 May 30, 2013 __Substance Abuse & Prostitution __  Prostitution can be used in many different ways, and is used just to make a little extra money. To be honest, I rather sell drugs than sometimes be forced to use them. Besides, I’m pretty sure there are better ways to make money. There are many different ways women are led into prostitution. Some females are pushed into prostitution. They’ll get forced and pushed around so much they’ll get tired and just give in. Many also are in desperate need of money. They can be in big debt and figure there’s no other way to pay. Most of them are also 100% of the time to drugged up to even know what’s happening. Prostitution is defined as “an easy way to make money” says many females of all ages. It’s basically a practice or occupation of engaging in sex with someone for payment. According to Silbert Mh, prostitution can occur in a variety of ways. “Brothels are establishments specifically dedicated to prostitution. In escort prostitution, the act may take place at customer’s residence or hotel rooms.” Women are led into prostitution by many different ways. Some are forced into it or have no choice but to do it. In “ [|Making the Harm Visible] ” Janice G. Ramond states that almost 99.9%of females in the prostitution business are forced into it.” "When I arrived at the brothel, I refused to do what they told me to and they beat me and starved me for 10 days," says the soft spoken girl. "I thought I would rather kill myself than be forced to work as a prostitute."  She was just a schoolgirl when she found herself in Bombay, along with thousands of other girls who are beaten, locked in tiny cages or hidden in attics. Some are forced to have sex with as many as 20 men a day under the watchful eyes of madams and pimps. "They are not given enough to eat. There are no beds. They have to sleep on the floor. Sometimes they are raped," says Ruchira Gupta, a social worker and documentary filmmaker who spent months investigating the horrors of Bombay's brothels for her film The Selling of Innocents. Most of time the women are to drugged up and just taking advantage of without knowing. Silbert Mh also asserts that some females might also be in desperate need of money, and there would be no other way to make the money but to sell them selves. There are many different ways women are led into prostitution. One main way is by taking advantage of the girl, another big way is by the women being broke and having no other way to make money.

Another main way women are forced into prostitution is by them being low on money and having no other way to make it up. In “[|Prostituting Ourselves to Feed our Children]” writer Arwa Damon states many females sometimes are driven to sell their body to put food on the table for their own kids. Even sometimes just to attend to their kids medical needs. Other women also prostitute themselves to support their own needs. Many don’t even have homes or food to supply themselves with. A lot of these young women price there body to as little as $7.00 each customer, making only $70.00 a day. Many females turn to prostitution due to low income for them and for the needs of their young one (if any).

Almost 100% of the females driven into prostitution are always drugged up. In “Making the Harm Visible” Silbert Mh states that “It is a fact that almost 99.9% of females are under the influence of substance use”. Many are forced to use these drugs and substances. Old Bailey states “nine men, facing 51 counts including rape and trafficking, imprisoned girls as young as 11 and subjected them to depravity and extreme sexual violence”. A lot of females that go into prostitution are already big addicts. Most of them end up even trying out new drugs with no problem or would even ask for the drug and wouldn’t go through getting forced using it. Many females that go through prostitution are probably 100% of the time drugged up. It’s a known fact that almost all the females get sucked up under the influence of substance abuse. It is clear that a lot of them get forced into the drug abuse but a lot of the prostitutes are as well already addicts.

There are a huge number of ways females are led into prostitution. Many are forced / pushed into it. A lot of the females are also sometimes in desperate need of money. But almost 100% of the time these females are drugged up. Many are addicts and prostitute themselves without no doubt or shame. All prostitution does is harm yourself and our environment. It also puts many people lives at risk of catching an STD and or AIDs. All the drug substances and abuse also don’t help when it comes to your own wellbeing and health. Again, all prostitution does is make you look bad and kills yourself very slowly. media type="youtube" key="E_z0Lonul8c?feature=player_detailpage" height="360" width="640"
