Abstract

The article argues that prostitution is a violation of women's human rights, asserting that it is not a form of work or a legitimate choice but rather an exploitative institution rooted in gender inequality. The author criticizes the pro-prostitution lobby for framing prostitution as empowering, arguing that this perspective ignores the inherent abuse and exploitation faced by women in the industry.
