Is prostitution a crime? If so, what measures would you take to eradicate this social evil?
According to the Webster's dictionary, prostitution is defined as "the act or practice of indulging in promiscuous sexual relations especially for money". Prostitution is the sale of sexual services for money or other kind of return, generally indiscriminately with many persons. A person selling sexual favors is a prostitute, a type of sex worker. In a more general sense of the word, anyone selling their services for a cause thought to be unworthy can be described as prostituting themselves. Prostitution is often called "the oldest profession in the world".

Is prostituion a crime?
In this essay, the main point of it is that prostitution is bad and that women are forced into it, but that is not necessarily true. Some women actually choose to go into that proffession out of their own will. Also, men can be prostitutes too. I agree with the points that are brought up in this such as prostitution in India, but you have only got one point of view here. It's a good essay, but should have other views in it.
