INTRODUCTION
This has been t he dominant view that as will be described later became the basis
of the criminalization of the act. Many believe that this view resulted in the dressing

of risks.

regarding prostitution. This will also be beneficial to the students, the general public
and especially those who are engaged in the prostitution industry per se. This is to
inform them what is prostitution all about and to erase questions in their
minds.
This also serves as a preventive measure regarding the harmful effects of prostitution.
This paper concludes by evaluating the efficacy of some current policies
used to lessen or moderate the potential harmful effects of prostitution, such as the
spread of diseases, child abuse, the medical side, the person who regulates a prostitute
(pimps) and the prostitute itself.

A. What Is Prostitution?
A woman who had sex with more than 23,000 men should be classified as a
prostitute, although 40 to 60 would also do. However, promiscuity itself does not turn a
woman into a prostitute. Although a vast majority of prostitutes are promiscuous, most
people would agree that sleeping around does not amount to prostitution.
Prostitution has an unusual feature: it is well paid despite being low skill,
labor intensive, and, one might add, female dominated. Earnings even in the worstpaid type, streetwalking, may be several multiples

Spanish period
Spanish rule made Manila

in power by the pillage of a colony. The policies enforced tended to foster the
exploitation and
became the permanent characteristics of the working classes who largely comprised
the Philippines population during the colonial eras. The absence of incentives and
the deterioration of conditions in the rural areas, especially during the last decades
of the nineteenth century forced many inhabitants to migrate to other places, notably
Manila.
Manila, by the nineteenth century was already teeming with vagrants,
vagabonds, and displaced persons. In colonial times it was only places attractive
enough for impoverished and displaced persons to flocks to. Its commercial districts,
especially Binondo with its big business housed at Rosario and Escolta streets,
caught the fancy of many migrants, who tended to reside in the congested districts
of Tondo, Binondo, Sampaloc, and Paco.

C. Types of Prostitution
Prostitution can be classified according to modus operandi and gender and age
of providers. In their typology, they identified the name of the activity, how clients are
solicited and where they are serviced, and in what world regions certain activities are
prevalent. Among the more prominent modus operandi for sex work are street,
brothels, and escort prostitution.
o Street prostitution is the mode where clients are solicited on the street, in parks,
or in other public places and are serviced in side streets, vehicles, or short-stay
premises. Street prostitution is widespread, particularly in societies where
alternative work sites are unavailable.
o Brothel prostitution is the mode where certain premises are explicitly dedicated to
providing sex. Usually, brothel prostitution has better security provisions
accorded to sex workers than street prostitution.
o Escort
via
the hotel staff. This is the most covert form of sex work. It is relatively
expensive
o Prostitution can also be classified according to the age of providers, namely adult
and child prostitutes. Studies indicate that the dynamics of child prostitution are
different from those of adult prostitution. Child prostitutes are involved without
their consent, and they are usually systematically deceived. Child prostitution is
generally condemned by most individuals, organizations, and governments.
Nevertheless, some child prostitutes eventually become adult prostitutes, and
many adult prostitutes had prior childhood histories of sexual abuse and
prostitution.

A. Causes of Prostitution
Probably one of the main sources is the desire on the part of considerable number
of persons of saying ages for an easily achieved, non-binding sexual outlet and their
willingness to pay for such an outlet. Without this demand, the supply for prostitutes
would disappear.
Another factor is the belief on the part of girls and boys that prostitution is an
easier way to make living than other pursuits open to them. This belief undoubtedly
attracts many into the occupation.
The girls from whom prostitutes are recruited seem to be those who come from
the economically deprived and poor social backgrounds, who have mental or emotional
inadequacies, who have had previous sexual experiences (mostly unfortunate), who have
been abandoned by husbands, and who have had contact with persons in or on the fridge
of prostitution.
The immediate causes of the epidemic are linked to HIVs modes of transmission.
These include unprotected penetrative se; transmission from mother to child before,
during or after birth; and transmission through transfusions and the sharing of blood or
blood products.
Young people may be especially vulnerable to infection. They may not receive
appropriate kinds of sex and personal relationship education. They may lack access to
relevant social support including youth friendly counseling and sexual health services.
Young women (and some young men) may be at particular risk through involvement in
sex work and prostitution. The tendency for older and more sexually experienced men to
prefer younger sexual partners also enhances their vulnerability.

financial and moral support when, as the sole adult within the family, they have to
take on added responsibilities for the care of children and young people.
The effects of prostitution on the rest of society are less easily discerned.
Standards of morality always dictate that prostitution is an unmitigated vice and yet side
by side with this morality prostitution has continued to exist. There is no doubt that the
effect is very undesirable to society as a whole.

or modern-day slavery. Women and girls, worldwide, are lured to foreign nations with
promises of jobs. Then, they are forced into prostitution. With globalization and cheap
transportation, you can move people easier and quicker than guns or drugs. And you can
use them over and over and over again. You dont just sell them once and call it a day.

The world must put an end to this kind of crime. But, stopping prostitution is hard
since almost all of the countries in the world have prostitution. As a Filipino Youth, I
believe that big changes start with small changes. If we make an effort to stop prostitution
in our country, it might have a big effect in stopping prostitution in the world. We
Filipinos must start to make a move in changing the world into a better place by putting
an end to this criminal act.

CONCLUSION
Prostitution in our country is a very popular crime and many people in our
country are involved in this wrong act. This problem is not simple; it is actually one of
the major problems that our country is facing. Women whether underage or not are forced
to do this like this, this kind of act is not a solution for making ones life better, and it
actually worsens it.
Prostitution has been around for many decades. The Philippines had many victims
including women and children, becoming sex servants and working with sex feints to try
and support their families. To those patrons, it is a form of entertainment and a good time,
but they are degrading the lives and worth of those victims who do it only for the money.
Much of the people living in impoverished conditions do not have the simple things such
as food and water, let alone a good paying job. Sexuality is different all over the world,
but many dont choose to start at such a young age, and after all, many of them could
never overcome the trauma. If so many government officials and tourists are causing this
demand, the sex trade industry will never end. The Philippines is not alone in facing this
problem, the world is facing it as well. The crime is growing fast and it seems like no one
is making a move to put an end to this. Prostitution is nothing but a wrong act, a crime
will not do good anything for world.
Hopefully with new efforts finally being put forward, it will aid in the helping to
end child prostitution in the Philippines and in other places around the world. quote
