you said "What about the women who do not want to be in the business anymore and want to be able to survive?" very very few women involved in this business (at least in countires like nepal) do it because of choice. they do it not becasue they want to continue the business but because there is no altnerative for them. that's a good question you asked how we can help them. see we cannot provide them proficeint jobs with good enough moeny because theyy are not skilled enough (if they were, why would they become prostitutes in teh first place?). i think one of the best ways to help them is try to break the cycle for future generations. funding the education of thier girl children so that when these girls grow up, they are not faced wi th the same circumstances. we can also invest in educationg these women about safe sex and demanding their rigths (recently, sex workers have actually come out in public media and talked about thier experinces and what they expect from teh state). many INGOs trained them and educated them in this process. see this is something effective and worthwhile. training these women to sew clothes and expect them to live on 2000/- per month is not.
