Prostitution : An insult to Humanity - Remedies


The following content is originally a mail I have written to panelonsexworkers@gmail.com in order to give my views and ideas to curb prostitution and providing remedial solutions for those who are involved.
The 'Article' that is referred here is as appeared in Hindu dated 25the August, 2011 by the name 'Court:Impart technical skills to sex workers'

While the court's decision to impart technical skills to the sex workers is laudable, it is limited in terms of acceptance of their services from the major section of public. So, apparently, this decision of court is not seemed as a remedy for those who are in the sex-working domain, instead, simply as a loss of existing livelihood, as correctly put forth in the article. I suggest a few solutions to solve this problem :
  • A possible solution for this could be their relocation and complete wipe-off of their previous identity, which helps them to face the public confidently and lead a normal life. This means, there should be no records of what they were doing earlier before coming for a job.
  • The most effective way to deal with any problem is to deal with its roots. Preventing young girls, especially from the rural background who enter this business, as there seems to be no alternative, from entering this monstrous field can solve the problems at a large scale. An effective way to find the roots could be, by employing certain section of women among prostitutes to find the roots and stop girls entering the field, by explaining them how humiliating life could be, once entered. And just this is not enough. Employment generation schemes such as stitching, household workers (a very strong demand in urban areas), internet and xerox centers, and many more. And they have to be applied well before they were entered which would solve the problem in the first place. 
  •  And as being pointed out in the article, there should be employment schemes who voluntarily leave the field, not just for the rescued. The reason they find the coaching futile and feel imprisoned in the process is that, they are not actually confident that their problems can be solved by that. And thus there has to be awareness sessions conducted across the country for all the sex workers which presents all the schemes available for them (as many were not even aware of government's initiatives, let alone their implementation') and also quote some successful business which have flourished generating a handsome income.
These solutions may not be complete enough in the sense, as they have not accounted for vast complexities, socially and economically, but surely can help.

New GRE Revised Test

About to take new GRE?? And did not undergo any coaching? Do you need to bother? NO.YOU.DON'T.NEED.TO. Unless and until you know certain things!   New GRE is more like GMAT. Meaning, more than your vocab skills, your analytic and critical thinking skills     are exploited. It is highly likely that all the words they use are the ones you are already familiar with. So, what should you worry about? The trap lies in the fact that, many of a times, all the options given seem to be so good to fit the blanks provided. So, to get these questions right, start reading newspapers, magazines apart from practicing ETS questions regularly. Remember that, more than reading Kaplan, Manhattan, Princeton, Barrons, or whatever solving questions framed by ETS is very important. That is to get familiarized with the way ETS frames questions.  And regarding math, it is very very easy to crack the section and bag a score of 750-800. And getting a score of 500+ in verba...

4th and 5th dimensions of personality

Recently, on 9th of April this year, I have attended a workshop that was conducted in our college campus by Vivekananda Kendra , Kanyakumari. The session has been so influencing that all the people who were there in the workshop have been magnetized by the words of the swamiji who presided the session. They did not expect even a single penny from our side for conducting workshop, what they expected from us was, to spread the message that has been given to us to the masses! When we have been blessed with such a great wisdom, it is our duty to be gratifying for them. Personality can be divided into 5 types, they say. Mental  Physical Intellectual Emotional Spiritual Those 4th and 5th named ones are what I am talking about.. We have been taught well right from the inception of our education, or even before the first three dimensions, by our parents,teachers and maybe,friends. But, we stopped the pursuit of achieving good personality as soon as we feel that we have those three t...

LOKPAL MELODRAMA

Anna Hazare fast against corruption claiming to be following Gandhiji who never supported satyagraha in a republic INDIA               The fierce battle between Government (UPA) and the Anna Hazare's team over whose version is more acceptable has been the hot topic of discussion among media, different NGO's, opposition parties, different sections of people these days. Everyone discussing the issue in what areas it helps or affects them, their sphere of social, economic and political life, if applicable.                While the agitation over passing civil society's Lokpal bill is gaining support among people, certain sections have difference of opinions in the way he chose to stage his protests. First of all, a person claiming himself to be Gandhian should understand that, Satyagraha, Civil disobedience and other tactics that hinder normal life o...
