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.

Small Town Data Business

All softwares are available here.. If you are living in a town, then chances are that you would have seen it quite often at several internet shops. Not just this. Mobile ringtones, songs are downloaded here.. And by the above sentence, they are trying to tell you that, downloads, are something different from regular browsing and that you might have to pay for them, if you want any. And what about the charges ? Almost as much as Apple Inc. is charging for (in many places). And what about the Quality and Genuineness? Not a bit. What's more? The people who work there will try to convince you that, the content that they are trying to sell you, is 100% Original, and only they are doing it for the lowest prices in the town, and might even add an extra clause saying, 'This content is very rare'. To conversation between such an Internet Shop owner and a customer (who apparently do not know much about internet) goes somewhat like this. Customer : I have a mobile phone. I w...

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...

You don't need to be Gandhi to serve your country

On the day of World cup match between India and Sri Lanka, a banner caught my attention. It said "India has only two religions, Cricket and Movies". I am surprised and of course what it states is true, looking at the fact that cine actors and cricketers are demi gods in India, than in any part of the world. Is this trend healthy? I feel that most of us take it for granted that the best way to show our patriotism is by partying, shouting and celebrating- cricket winnings and movie awards mostly the ones that were awarded abroad. And we are least bothered about Indian Politics in a larger scale, environmental awareness.. and to be blunt, to even do our regular duties. IF YOU REALLY LOVE YOUR COUNTRY, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE GANDHI TO SERVE IT. YOU DON'T NEED TO MAKE SACRIFICES AS THEY DID. Living a carbon efficient life is one of the best ways to show your patriotism. Start with avoiding meat on selected days. You don't believe me if I say, if everyone in the count...
