Abstract

The article argues that criminalizing prostitution perpetuates the exploitation and marginalization of women, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The author advocates for decriminalization as a necessary step towards empowering sex workers, highlighting how current legal frameworks fail to protect them and instead exacerbate their vulnerability. The thesis emphasizes the need for systemic change to address the societal structures that drive women into prostitution.
