The hopeless way back of busty girls

< /div>

In a recent survey by the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, more than half of sex workers admitted that the main reason was because the profession brought… high income in When they are lazy to work, they like to enjoy. The remainder said they entered prostitution due to difficult family circumstances or being lured into drug addiction by fraud… Research results also showed that the average income from prostitution is 86 million VND/month, about 2 to 5 times higher than the average income of the population in Vietnam, about 25 times higher than the average income of the group of 20% of people with the highest income. Not to mention a significant proportion of sex workers (about 45-6%) also have income from other jobs. In particular, about 5% of respondents have income from prostitution of 20 million VND/month or more.

The life of selling flowers in the countryside

Everywhere in both urban and poor rural areas prostitution has destroyed many families, but it seems that it is not enough to be a lesson for young people. On a business trip, we stopped at D town in the midland and mountainous province of Phu Tho, located next to the Lo river. Here in the 1990s, when it was still a commune, it was famous as a place where many prostitutes worked locally or went to Hanoi to work. The newly raised and rebuilt asphalt road runs along the river along with a series of high-rise buildings rising. A row of old four-level houses are nestled at the foot of the dike, the mossy door is locked, and a faded sign shows that this place used to be a refreshment shop called: Four Seasons Refreshment Coffee.

According to those around, this house has been abandoned for approximately ten years since its owner was taken to prison. Ms. Thanh is quite beautiful without a father. She gave birth to her first child when she was 17 years old to a man who worked as a forest product trader and had a wife and children in Hanoi. From then on, she became known by the nickname Thanh “Bop” and her small riverside house gradually became a quick stop for boat drivers. When the city developed a little more, she opened a “Four Seasons Refreshment Coffee” shop with nearly a dozen young girls with flashy makeup. This cave was also arrested several times, the prostitutes went to re-education camps and Thanh also went to prison for a few years but every time she came back she continued to practice. Nearly ten years ago, Thanh was arrested and sentenced to 20 years for trafficking and possessing illegal drugs. It was said that she was seduced by a prostitute who also had a drug deal. She went to prison, leaving behind an elderly mother who is nearly 80 years old and 5 teenage children, the youngest of whom is just over 3 years old. When her old mother passed away, the village authorities had to lend a hand to everyone to help take care of the funeral. Her five children were scattered to different places, only occasionally on the anniversary of her death she saw them return for a while and then leave again. The row of houses with many rooms that used to serve prostitutes is now closed and worn out over time, and Thanh doesn’t know if she will be able to make a living from this job anymore when she returns at the age of nearly 60 with nothing. …

Town D is now much more urban and the water is shallow, so there are less boats passing through, so there are not as many prostitution dens as there were more than a decade ago. But its consequences still exist today, with elderly unmarried women or children being discriminated against because their mother was a prostitute. What we encountered in this town is not uncommon because rural prostitution is causing headaches for management agencies from big cities to mountainous provinces and desolate villages. Where are there many visitors like Thanh Son (Phu Tho) Coc San – Bat Xat and Dong Tuyen – Lao Cai city, Lao Cai province, Binh Thanh Dong (Tan Phu An Giang) Vinh Quy hamlet (Vinh Trinh Vinh Thach Can Tho)… Prostitutes operate locally. In economically difficult areas, many girls choose big cities to practice.

It’s difficult to stop

For many rural girls, when they venture into this profession, they still cherish a hope of recovery. They want to work for a while to earn some decent capital to change careers or help their families during difficult times, then “wash away” the past and find new happiness. But it was a bet full of losses.

P.T. Lan is nearly 40 years old this year and lives alone in a hidden level 4 house with discreet tassel curtains that barely see the sign called Lan Coffee. It seems that the label of “one husband” has made her no longer shy when sharing about her “career”. She said that when she was young, she lived with her father and stepmother and a younger half-brother… When she was 16 years old, she went to Hanoi to work as a waitress in a cafe. One time, she clicked her tongue because she thought she wouldn’t be able to “lift her head” if she didn’t study and get a degree, so she went to work as a guest to earn more money.

5 years as a girl, she went from one motel to another.

Then Lan met a young man in the same situation who worked as a prostitute for customers. Their feelings gradually rekindled and both decided to quit their jobs to return home to get married. Thoughts of happiness had smiled on them so they could let go of the not so good past. But after nearly a year without seeing Lan pregnant, the couple went to the doctor and the doctor concluded that Lan was infertile due to using many unsafe abortion methods. There was nothing left to bind the husband, after stripping away all the wealth his wife had accumulated, he decided to go “to do business far away”. Having a shallow mindset and not knowing how to work, the days spent at home with her old mother-in-law in the “dog-eating-chicken-eating-stones” village made Lan depressed. “Money without youth will soon pass away and if it stays there forever it will die. My husband sometimes comes home once every few months and then disappears like he doesn’t have a husband. So I went to Hanoi to work at my old job, earn a little, and then returned to open this shop. When the guests tried to deny it, they laughed in his face and said, “Are you keeping it to get married?” It’s so humiliating that I can’t do it. Well, if you can do it, just do it. If you don’t have children, then you won’t have money and you won’t know who to rely on.” – Lan confided.

According to Lan, prostitution like her when she turned 30 was considered “out of date” because the pimps no longer used her. So any girl who is lucky enough to accumulate capital will go back to her hometown to open a refreshment shop to wash her hair and massage her hair or something. Unlucky girls will go in and out of the camp five or seven times and end up empty-handed, then turn to being a broker or a prostitute. Being a prostitute, customers pay “low” prices and have to serve many dead bodies and almost never have a chance to return.

Ma Drugs – Prostitution – HIV

Surely we have not forgotten the story of Miss L.U.N not long ago, a beauty who was honored after the stumbles in her life. drugs and then have no other way but to sell sex to earn money to use drugs. In the end, she was infected with HIV but still had to go out on the streets until she was exhausted and died with no relatives nearby to claim her body. That shows how harsh the vicious cycle of drugs and prostitution is, it doesn’t give them a way out and many young girls have had to suffer such consequences. and so the way back for prostitutes is always narrow

Once dependent on drugs, young girls often slide down the path of crime. Many people have to sell their bodies to prostitution to have money to buy drugs. Then just like that, they are forced into a dirty and sinful path where they have to entertain guests to have money to service their addiction. Along with that, the rate of prostitute addicts infected with HIV has increased sharply, becoming a danger to society.

Recently, public opinion was “shocked” by the news that a 12-year-old girl was infected with HIV. Caught red-handed selling sex and is currently 3 months pregnant. This is the third time the girl has been arrested. The previous two times, her family came to sponsor her and take her back. The third time, no one came to take responsibility for her. The girl’s path into prostitution stemmed from her loneliness and lack of care and education from her parents. Tran T.A’s (girl’s name) parents got married without registering their marriage and her father had to go to prison many times because of addiction and drug trafficking. The mother and her three children wandered to many places and worked many jobs to make a living, in which many information said that mother T.A. are also practicing prostitution. T.A started selling sex in 2011 when she was just 11 years old. Surely everyone has to feel sorry for her because at the most innocent age, T.A has experienced so much indifference in life. And this time, with the reason that T.A was pregnant, the police released her, but what will her future be? No one can believe her path to redemption because according to the police, T.A. has many manifestation of drug addiction.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong, Director of Social Labor Education Center No. 02 (Ba Vi Hanoi), said that at this center, on average, about 10% of the subjects The subject had to return to the camp 2 or more times because of repeated acts of prostitution. Most of them are drug addicts who, after leaving the Center, have no money or job, so they return to their old ways.

There are places like Giai Phong Street (Hanoi). Last year, most of the prostitutes were drug addicts, many of them in the final stages of HIV treatment also escaped from the hospital to pick up customers. They were arrested and returned to the hospital, but a few days later they were seen on the streets again.

Out of the camp – into the camp

< p>For society, re-education experiences are a place for prostitutes to be re-educated with the purpose of helping them wash away their mistakes and start over. However, when leaving here, the path to redemption was not open before our eyes. Nhien (Yen Son Tuyen Quang) is a woman in her forties with two children in middle and high school, both of whom are quite good students. Her husband passed away early and raising two children alone in this mountainous district was really too much for her. She said: “The year my two children went to school, my family was very poor. When I came home from school, I kept crying because the teacher criticized me for paying late. So I sent them to my sister and went to Hanoi to wash the dishes. The salary is not much, but with enough savings, it’s enough to send home for my children’s school fees. Then that restaurant disbanded and I applied to work as a housekeeper at a motel. It was only later that I realized it was a cave, but when I thought about it, everyone’s work and I working as a housekeeper didn’t have any effect.”

After a period of leisurely work, Nhien became visibly more beautiful. Many times the motel owner hinted from afar that if she was not married, saving that “equity” would be a waste. Hearing that, I can’t bear the thought of my two obedient children at home. But the higher the child’s education, the more expensive it becomes. They call crying and list the missing money that she hasn’t sent back yet. Thinking that as long as her child was in higher education, the money would be more and more and she had no savings, she would be miserable, so she thought of the boss’s suggestion. “I just think that doing this job is dirty, but in the countryside no one knows about it, so it’s okay to not think about being arrested by the police and having to have dignity restored. At that time, I felt very humiliated and I was afraid my children would know. When I left the camp and returned home, I had to lie to them that I was going to China to do business.”

After leaving the camp with no income, Nhien ventured down to Hanoi to return to the old area and quickly made a connection with a motel. other. But just a few months later, this prostitution ring was busted again and she had to undergo rehabilitation. When I met Nhien a few months after leaving the camp, I asked her if she planned to do anything else. Nhien said: The older one is about to take the university entrance exam. The younger one is about to enter high school. I don’t know if there is any other job to help me feed them. or not…

A survey by the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs shows that nearly 1/4 of prostitutes interviewed have given up working. After returning to prostitution, 37 9% wanted to continue working and 48 2% wanted to leave the job. The main reasons for wanting to leave the job are not wanting to be discriminated against, fear of the risk of HIV infection and fear of the authorities. The main reason they want to continue to maintain this job is economic factors.

According to Mr. Le Duc Hien, Deputy Director of the Department of Social Evils Prevention, nearly 90 cases have given up. Sex workers then return because they think the income from the new job is too low to cover their previously established lifestyle and consumption habits (30 7%) or they want to make money to help their families. family (28 4%). In particular, some people return to prostitution because they cannot quit drug addiction (12 5%).

The issue of helping prostitutes reintegrate into the community has been developed and implemented in Vietnam. Centers for Education – Social Labor, Social Evils Prevention Department, clubs and agencies under the women’s union… However, in reality, the reintegration of sex workers into the community still faces many problems. hard. Although the State has a loan support policy for prostitutes to return to the community, many do not register because they fear being discriminated against by the community. Therefore, the number of prostitutes accessing loans is very low and the effectiveness of the policy is not high.

In reality, it is not easy for prostitutes to return and live a new life. That number is very rare. Because they have to overcome too many barriers. Not only social prejudices, but even themselves, they cannot overcome them. They are always haunted by the guilt of the time when they sold perfume and powder. There are many ways for them to leave, but the way back is almost hopeless. So the best way is not to step on the path without knowing what the return day will be like, and what your fate will be in the future.
