Girls Trapped in Prostitution

Abstract

Prostitution involving girls actually is a form of violence against children based on gender (gender based violence). This study found that girls who enter the sex business are usually forced by a combination of factors and environmental conditions: the pressure of poverty, vulnerability, frustration due to a failed love affair, the lack of employment opportunities in the labor market, the value of patriarchal bias, hedonistic lifestyle bid, and psychological condition of children who are vulnerable to fraud, coercion and pressure. As the object of extortion of the pimps, the work of the prostituted girls is more likely to be enjoyed by others, and, tragically, if they dare to refuse, then the threat of violence and harassment is undoubtedly waiting for.

Keywords: prostituted girls, exploitation, violence, poverty and vulnerability
