People say that prostitution is a choice. But is it? There are millions of stories from around the world about women and children, forced into prostituion and human trafficking. This is undisputed. But what about the women in prostitution who were not trafficked? Did they choose prostitution? And are they as empowered, independent and sexually liberated as many would have us believe? What we’ve come to see, through years of research and thousands of conversations with prostituted women across the world, is a very different picture of prostitution. The truth of this picture? Prostitution can be accurately described as the choice of those with the fewest choices.
Nearly without fail, women enter prostitution from a position of vulnerability. Many women “choose” prostitution as underage children. Some as young as 12. This so-called “choice” is often heavily influenced by prior sexual abuse. It is also influenced by the unrelenting messages from the media, pop culture, and society, that a woman’s value is her sex appeal. Many prostituted women and children come from families broken by poverty, addiction, and mental illness. Many are homeless, orphaned, refugees, or suffer some form of social disadvantage.
“When I think about my choices, they were simply these: have men on or inside me, or continue to suffer homelesness and hunger. Take your pick. Make your choice,” shared one formerly prostituted woman.
Prostitution preys on the most vulnerable in our society, coercing individuals through life circumstances to trade sex for the hope of a better life. Or to simply survive.
We must fight for a world without prostitution. We must fight for a world where our most vulnerable are offered real choices.
