they are still women

It is common issue sees how many child, teenagers and adults women are around the world waiting for someone who pays for her company, her body and their sexual pleasure. Around the country, people who decide to be prostitutes are more every day, no matter if they are women or men. Costa Rica is not an exception, is easy to see in the town and also in rural places many girls exhibiting her bodies and offering her "sexual favors" (as it is commonly called). The reasons are multiples, the consequences too, but the most common are the critics they receive from society. The prostitution involves many important aspects to consider in order to develop this topic which are the reasons why women become prostitutes, including: the poverty, the way they think it is a easy way to survive, and the success that they have being prostitutes, also it is important to analyze another issues such as: their conditions of work, their health and life spans and their clients and bosses. Prostitution thrives on misery, poverty, homelessness and hunger. But the most common reason why women become prostitutes is the poverty. Girls are forced to go to the streets and sell her bodies in order to get some money to provide food to her homes. Many women turn to prostitution as a means to support themselves financially and see it as the only means of subsistence. The lack of values and the lack of academic support to the poor people, allows them to think or believe that the prostitution is the best way to go forth in her lives. Based on researches, the prostitution is normally abundant in poor countries. If there is no government, family and friends support, poverty will continue to promote women in the way of prostitution. The lack of some values such as respect for self, ethics, hard work and perseverance have been big missing in the education of women who see prostitution as the easiest way to

earn a living. Many of the women seen on the streets earning money through prostitution have been women who have even received some formal education, with bachelor's and even universities. But this seems not be enough to get a decent job, they used to prefer the prostitution to seek support from their homes by this way. It is also important to emphasize that poor countries can get the education, but it is difficult for women to get stable jobs and well paid. For this reason, women often resort to this practice, and at the end think that there is no better way to earn money being women. As mentioned before, the prostitution is maybe the easiest way to earn money in a society in which the values and morals are not the primordial aspects to educated people. Why so many girls still being prostitutes if there are different ways to go ahead? The reason is simple; they find there a success job, in which they can get enough money to support their needs. In this case it is easy to find the Escorts, women who are well prepared academic and socially, thus, they can get best clients than the street prostitutes. The escorts are usually in hotels, there the client contact and engage her, she accompanied him to dinner or to a party, then, she makes what she knows he wants. Those girls are better paid than professional people, with bachelors or masters degrees. So, it is easy to understand why they choose this kind of job, actually it is a good option to earn money. Streets, hotels, motels, wherever, the place does not matter if they can get money, but they do not think about some conditions of the work they perform, such as: the violence, the social discrimination, the female exploitation and finally the human rights violation. Those conditions are some consequences that affect their lives; psychological, moral and physically are the common problems they have, also their families could be affected by the way. The prostitutes are usually victims of violence, treated like animals of sex, and people do not take into account that they are human beings. The society discriminate them by their reputation, especially the streets prostitutes, who are classify as people without values. The conditions of this work allow people to exploit those girls and the lack of the respect to the

human rights let them to treat prostitutes as they want. Maybe they deserved respect, they are women. Prostitution is a form of violence against women, in itself, is intrinsically traumatizing, but inside them are also being harmfully by different illness they get in this profession. Prostitution is a form of Violence against women, in itself, is intrinsically traumatizing, but they are also being affected by the diseases they get is this profession. Venereal diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea or gonococci, chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum, condyloma acuminata (venereal or papilloma), and some pubic lice such as ectoparasites (crabs), hepatitis B and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) caused by HIV. Those women not only will suffer the pain of a disease, but will also suffer the pain that represents the huge rejection by their own families, friends and society. As you know, most of them are people living in extreme poverty, so do not have the care of their health, much less treat advanced disease. Most people, who die from AIDS, have been prostituted carelessly. There is not enough medical care to cover the entire population. So, if a person do not tries to care her or him, it will be her or his issue in the future when a simple thing becomes a mortal disease. Difficult to say, but is just the true: The life span of a prostitute does not generate good expectations, as simple as that.

their sex to people who are in public places, does not matter who are the person if will pay some money, contrary to the escorts who just offer their service to rich people, politics, professionals, people who are willing to pay large sums of money. Actually, whoever the boss or the client is, they still being prostitutes, and no matter how much they can receive for a night with a man, they will be criticized and rejected by society in general.

People may see it as a profession, an easy path, as a way to violate the rights of persons or simply the exploitation of these women, but ultimately concludes that they are people who for economic, psychological, drugs or simple uncontrolled fall into the terrible trap of prostitution.
