Violence against sex workers in the UK
AbstractThe impact of the problems of destitution and prostitution on the moral fabric of society cannot be overemphasized and thus calls for the attention of the relevant stakeholders (the government, civil society, and professionals) in restoring moral values and decency to our societies. This study is centered on the psychological, social, and economic impact that the activities of the destitute and prostitutes have both on the individual and the society at large. The study found that many individuals resort to begging on the streets because they are either physically challenged, lack basic necessities for decent living, have many dependents, or are the breadwinners of their families while at the same time receive little or no support from family and friends. While the above was the case for the destitute, others engaged in prostitution due to peer pressure, financial pressure from family and friends, greed, and marital issues, etc. It was also found that the problems of destitution and prostitution tend to be more prevalent in urban areas due to the increasing levels of economic activities in the cities, which therefore leads to more patronage. To avert the negative effects of the problems of destitution and prostitution in society and to completely wean those involved away from it, the study recommends the coordination of efforts by the government, psychologists, and social workers to help train and equip the victims with the skills necessary to assist them in forgoing their old lifestyle completely.
