Prostitution and Sex Workers
Maybe one day, who knows, people will speak
with respect about sex workers, but today it seems clear to me that our society
condemns prostitution.
But are prostitutes themselves also condemned?
The case of a woman who chooses to become a prostitute (sex worker) instead of an office worker or a teacher is rare, let’s say purely theoretical. Prostitutes are generally forced into it through violence or blackmail, or they do it out of extreme necessity.
Instead, we can imagine that these women would have made wonderful mothers, wives, and compassionate and kind women, as often depicted in literature (think of Filumena Marturano).
