.: conclusion :.

We believe that only by going to the root cause of prostitution and trafficking, which are the factors 

that make up the demand, will we end the sexual exploitation and abuse of women and children 

through prostitution and trafficking.  

We need to urge all governments, NGOs, and religious communities to focus on reducing the 

demand for victims of sex trafficking and prostitution. All the components of the demand need to 

be penalized – the men who purchase sex acts, the exploiters – the traffickers and pimps who 

profit from the sale of women and children for sex, the states that fund deceptive messages and 

act as pimp, and the culture that lies about the nature of prostitution.  

We could greatly reduce the number of victims, if the demand for them was penalized. If there 

were no men seeking to buy sex acts, no women and children would be bought and sold. If there 

were no brothels waiting for victims, no victims would be recruited. If there were no states that 

profited from the sex trade, there would be no regulations that facilitated the flow of women 

from poor towns to wealthier sex industry centers. If there were no false messages about 

prostitution, no women or girls would be deceived into thinking prostitution is a glamorous or 

legitimate job.

The 2007 Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defined prostitution as: "Prostitution: 1 : the act or practice of engaging in promiscuous sexual relations especially for money 2 : the state of being prostituted : DEBASEMENT"

Time Magazine in the Aug. 23, 1971 article "Reflections On The Sad Profession" stated: "The whole subject of prostitution is full of ambiguities and hypocrisies. Even to define the word is not so easy as it might seem. We generally think of the transfer of money as the element that makes prostitution a crime (although money plays a subtle part in all sorts of sexual relationships). Yet in a number of states, as well as in Webster's newest dictionary, the definition of prostitution includes not only the exchange of money but also the rather vague concept of promiscuity... for example, forbid[ding] both getting paid for sex and 'the offering of the body for indiscriminate sexual intercourse without hire.' But what is 'indiscriminate'? St. Jerome decried women who had known 'many men,' and monks argued over the number that would warrant condemnation; one said 40, another 23,000."

Breaking Free, Inc., a Minnesota-based nonprofit, in its "Philosophy Statement" posted on the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW) website (accessed Apr. 20, 2007), stated: "We define prostitution as systematic sexual violence and oppression against women and girls. This system is institutionalized in the sex industry: stripshows, nude juice bars, massage parlors and saunas, brothels, adult book and video stores, peep shows, live sex shows, sex rings, escort services, mail order brides, streetwalking, and pornography. Each of these forms of prostitution provides men with unlimited sexual access to women and girls based solely on their ability to pay."

Lena Edlund, PhD, Associate Professor of Economics at Columbia University, and Evelyn Korn, PhD, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at University of Marburg in Germany, wrote the Feb. 2002 Journal of Political Economy article "A Theory of Prostitution" that stated: "Before proceeding, we need to define prostitution. Despite being known as the oldest profession, a workable definition has proven elusive. From a dictionary we learn that prostitution is the 'act or practice of engaging in sexual intercourse for money'. But a prostitute cannot simply be a woman who sells her body, since 'that is done every day by women who become wives in order to gain a home and a livelihood'. Promiscuity has been proposed as another candidate. Medieval canon lawyer Johannes Teutonicus suggested that a woman who had sex with more than 23,000 men should be classified as a prostitute, although 40 to 60 would also do. However, promiscuity itself does not turn a woman into a prostitute. Although a vast majority of prostitutes are promiscuous, most people would agree that sleeping around does not amount to prostitution. Moreover, any threshold number of sexual partners, be it 40 or 23,000, fails to identify high end courtesans or call girls as prostitutes, although a reasonable definition would. Instead, we argue that prostitution is the act of rendering, from the client’s point of view, non-reproductive sex against payment."

John Ince, Attorney and Leader of the Sex Party, wrote in a May 10, 2007 e-mail to ProCon.org that: "Users would be well advised that much of the pro/con sentiment is a result of differing definitions of prostitution rather than differences on how to deal with a specific defined type of prostitution, and that if the definition was standardized much of the conflict might disappear.... For example the key elements of prostitution are: 1) sexual contact [and] 2) for money Now sexual contact needs to be defined: a) genital contact? So a massage therapist is not a prostitute; so a professional dominatrix who spanks and humiliates, but does not touch genitals is not a prostitute; b) genital contact for pleasure? so a urologist is not a prostitute; so an erotic masseur is a prostitute... c) genital contact for pleasure that includes penetration? So erotic masseurs are not prostitutes d) genital contact for pleasure that includes penetration in circumstances where the provider feels shame, fear, pain or exposes themselves or others to disease; so escorts who are highly selective about their clients and enjoy their work are not prostitutes."

Christine Harcourt, PhD, Research Fellow for the National Centre in HIV Epidemiology & Clinical Research at the University of New South Wales, and Basil Donovan, MD, Professor of Sexual Health at National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research of the University of New South Wales, in their June 2005 Sexually Transmitted Infections article "The Many Faces of Sex Work," wrote:

"At least 25 types of sex work were identified according to worksite, principal mode of soliciting clients, or sexual practices. These types of work are often grouped under the headings of 'direct' and 'indirect' prostitution, with the latter group less likely to be perceived or to perceive themselves as sex workers..."

Direct Forms of Prostitution
Number	Type of Prostitution	Geographic Distribution
1.	Street: Clients solicited on the street, park or other public places. Serviced in side streets, vehicles, or short stay premises	Widespread, particularly if alternative work sites are unavailable (United States, Europe, United Kingdom, Australasia) and/or there is socioeconomic breakdown (eastern Europe, parts of Africa, south and South East Asia, and Latin America)
2.	Brothel: Premises explicitly dedicated to providing sex. Better security than street. Often licensed by authorities	Preferred where sex work is decriminalised or brothels are 'tolerated.' (Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia, India, Europe, Latin America)
3.	Escort: Client contacts sex worker by phone or via hotel staff. Most covert form of sex work. Relatively expensive because of low client turnover. Service provided at client’s home or hotel room	Ubiquitous. In the United States escorts and private workers contacted by phone and working from a 'call book' are known as 'call girls' or 'call men'
4.	Private: Client contacts sex worker by phone. Similar to escorts except services provided in sex worker’s premises. A variant in London and other big cities is 'flat' prostitution—high cost services in rented, serviced, inner city units	United Kingdom, Europe, United States, and Australia. Sometimes doorway (see below) and street sex workers bring clients home
5.	Window or doorway: Brothels with sex workers on public display. Windows preferred in cold climates, doorways in warmer places	Window prostitution almost unique to Amsterdam and Hamburg. Doorway prostitution found in less affluent areas of European cities and in African and other developing countries
6.	Club, pub, bar, karaoke bar, dance hall: Clients solicited in alcohol vending venues and serviced on site or elsewhere	Ubiquitous depending on types of male club available
7.	Other all-male venues: Clients solicited in all-male venues such as barbershops, bathhouses, saunas, and mining camps. Serviced on site or elsewhere	Ubiquitous
8.	Door knock or hotel: Unattached males are approached in their hotel rooms or boarding houses	Hotels worldwide and wherever large numbers of unaccompanied males reside
9.	Transport (ship, truck, train): Sex workers may board vehicles to service the crew or passengers or pick up clients at stations and terminals	Ubiquitous
10.	CB radio: Sex workers drive along highways using CB radio to exchange (jargon) messages with potential truck driver clients. Serviced at truck stops or parking areas	United States
11.	Other methods of solicitation: Through various media including noticeboard and newspaper advertisements, 'sex worker catalogues' with mobile phone numbers, the internet via virtual brothels, etc. Services are delivered mostly in brothels and other indoor venues	Ubiquitous, but internet and mobile phone services are mostly confined to large cities in developed countries—particularly the United Kingdom and Sweden where legislation limits other forms of advertising
Indirect Forms of Prostitution
12.	Bondage and discipline: sexual fantasy through role play. May involve the inflicting of pain, but genital contact is not routine	Apparently unique to wealthier countries
13.	Lap dancing: A recent development involving erotic dancing at close quarters without sexual contact	Predominantly wealthier countries—often takes place in hotels and clubs
14.	Massage parlour: Premises ostensibly dedicated to providing massage, but a range of sexual services may be provided. In South East Asia similar arrangements may apply in barbershops	Europe, South East Asia, and Australia
15.	Travelling entertainers: Actors, dancers and others involved in entertainment may also provide sexual services	South East Asia
16.	Beer girls: Young women hired by major companies to promote and sell products in bars and clubs. Sexual services sold to supplement income	Cambodia, Uganda, other developing countries
17.	Street vendors and traders: Ostensibly marketing rural produce or other goods but supplementing income with sexual services	Widespread in developing countries
18.	Opportunistic: A person approached in a social venue may occasionally choose to charge for sexual favours if the client appears wealthy enough	Ubiquitous
19.	Femme libre: Women, usually single or divorced, who exchange sexual services for gifts. The gifts are then converted to cash	Central Africa
20.	Individual arrangements: The single mother who may have sex with her landlord in place of rent. Older sex workers who only deal with a small number of regular clients, by appointment. 'Kept' women or men. Concubines. The number of possible arrangements is vast	Ubiquitous
21.	Swingers clubs: Some swingers or couples sex clubs employ (undisclosed) sex workers if there is a shortage of female guests	Predominantly wealthier countries
22.	Geisha: Women engaged primarily to provide social company, but sex may ensue	Japanese cities
23.	'Sex for drugs': Women providing fellatio for crack cocaine in crack houses. Young homosexual men in Western countries may provide opportunistic sexual services paid with drugs	Crack houses are unique to the United States
24.	Beachboys, bumsters, and gigolos: Men and boys engaged by women ostensibly for social purposes but sex is often involved. Some beachboys are under aged and many also service male clients	Resorts, particularly in developing countries
25.	Survival sex: A matter of degree, where starvation or other serious deprivation is imminent, particularly for dependants. Food or security may be the currency, rather than money	Refugee camps anywhere

FACTORS AFFECTING PROSTITUTION

prostitution.. this kind of job will forever be blame by society.

they do not have right to spoke out of what they feel,and the reasons why they getting involve in prostitution. in my opinion,and from the severals of research i have found the factors why women in prostitution job.
      

• early sexual experience..    

this has been stated in book of Jennifer James and Jane Meyerding. this statement did surprise me at first,and i've thinking why the writer think in that way. but then i realise after a deep thinking, this factors might be true. i still cant get the chance to read this book,but from my own assumption, i can assumed women who get involve in prostitution actually have experience sexual activities. from that first time of sexual activities,they can go far, as they can make this as their second job. and maybe after for awhile, it is not only to satisfied their own sexual activities, they take PROSTITUTION as their job. which is be given more priority.

• lack of religion knowledge

many people would agree with me,if i'm saying religion knowledge is very important in moral, behaviour, attitude and etique building. with religion knowledge, we will be guided in certain of rules. examples, if you were makin something bad then you will get the punishment that suitable and based on your bad things doing. it goes the same for prostitution. prostitution is not an halal job in islam. islam not allowed women to used their body in getting some money.
    

• desiring for the luxury life

luxury? for what,if ypu can only achieved luxury by sold you own body? this statement i cant accept it until today. luxury is really nothing,plus its only make your pride much lower than others. is that what are you trying to do? i cant deny,all of us desire for perfect luxury life,but its not supposed to be in that way.

ITS WRONG TO PAY FOR SEX DEBATE - MELISSA FARLEY

Probe on student call-girls

 

Publication: NSUNT

Byline / Author: By Julia Chan

KOTA KINABALU: Universiti Malaysia Sabah will monitor its students more closely following claims that some of them are involved in prostitution.

Vice-Chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Kamaruzaman Ampon said the university was taking the claims seriously.

He said although the university had yet to receive any report about its students being involved in prostitution, steps would be taken to monitor them more closely.

He said the university would investigate the claims.

Kamaruzaman was asked on claims by United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation Wanita chief Dr Jaina Sintian that a syndicate was luring university students here into the flesh trade.

Dr Jaina said she was told that the girls earned up to RM500 per session.

Kamaruzaman said disciplinary action would be taken against the culprits.

"We will investigate first before taking disciplinary action. Those students involved in part-time prostitution must have their own reasons for doing so. Maybe they do not have enough money to pay for their education fees."

He said the university would handle the problem discreetly and if they did it because of financial problems, the university was willing to offer them loans.

"How we handle the problem will depend on the seriousness of the cases.

"We want the students to finish their studies. We are looking into this matter."

:: Three female students rescued from prostitution syndicate ::

MALACCA, MALAYSIA: Police rescued three teenagers believed to have been forced into vice when they busted a syndicate offering the sexual services of secondary school students. State CID chief Asst Comm Mohd Adnan Abdullah said seven suspects, including a woman in her 20s who is believed to be the pimp, were arrested in an operation on Monday. "Besides the female pimp, police also detained another woman and her male companion as they are believed to be involved in the syndicate," he told reporters yesterday. He said the activities of the syndicate came to light when a student lodged a police report against one of the suspects, claiming she was forced to entertain men. "We believe the syndicate was offering the services of the students to clients for between RM60 and RM80. "Four men were also detained as they are believed to have sought the services of the girls," he added. Based on initial investigations, he said the syndicate had been operating from a hotel in the city since May. ACP Mohd Adnan said the suspects would be charged under the Child Act 2001 and could face a maximum prison sentence of 15 years and a RM50,000 fine or both upon conviction. - The Star/Asia News Network

:: College students resorting to prostitution to finance studies ::

KOTA KINABALU - A state assembly member has urged the Higher Education Ministry to investigate claims that some students of higher learning institutions (IPT) have resorted to prostitution to earn money to finance their studies.

Tanjung Batu assembly member Hamisa Samat said the ministry should view the matter seriously, saying it not only tarnished the image of such institutions but also affect the students' future.

"We hope that there will be prompt actions by the ministry because this issue has been raised before and now it has come to light again.

"The issue of IPT students resorting to prostitution should be addressed because if nothing is done, it could become worse," she said in a statement.

Prostitution to help meet rising costs

Upko wanita chief Dr Jaina Sintian revealed at the party's convention on Thursday in Kota Kinabalu that there were IPT students who resorted to prostitution to pay the cost of their studies.

She said that most of those involved in the activity were students from broken families.

Hamisa, who is Kalabakan Wanita Umno chief said if left unchecked, the problem could lead to other social issues such as baby dumping, HIV and Aids and drug abuse.

"I call on all quarters to be open minded about this and not hastily make denials because we all know the challenges these students have to deal with, like costly food, accommodation, transportation, books, computers, Internet bills and so on," she said.

:: SUFIAH YUSOF, SHILPA LEE; WHO'S WRONG?

source : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...in_page_id=1770

With the intellect to win a place at Oxford at the age of 13, Sufiah Yusof should, by now, be carving out a high-flying career for herself.

But a decade after hitting the headlines thanks to her remarkable aptitude for mathematics - and days after her father was jailed for sexually assaulting two teenagers - Miss Yusof has been exposed as a £130-an-hour prostitute.

The revelation completes a sad fall from grace for the family who were hailed the brightest in Britain after Miss Yusof and two of her siblings won university places by the time they were 16.

Calling herself Shilpa Lee, 23-year-old Miss Yusof advertises her body on an internet sex site and operates out of a back street flat in Salford. Yesterday, a friend of the former child prodigy said of her downfall: "It is all desperately heartbreaking.

"With her amazing brain she should be able to make money any way she wants. But instead her life spiralled completely out of control.

"Sufiah has suffered so many knocks in her life. I just hope she can drag herself out of this life she has got herself into.

"She is such a good person and deserves a much better life than this. Her gift really has been a curse."

On the website, she describes herself as a '"very pretty size 8, 32D bust and 5ft 5in tall - available for booking every day from 11am to 8pm".
sufiah yusof

She adds that she is a "sexy, smart student" who prefers "older gentlemen". When an undercover reporter visited her at the flat, Miss Yusof stripped naked and gyrated on a bed as she reeled off her list of services.

Miss Yusof was pictured as a child smiling innocently outside St Hilda's College, Oxford, after winning her place to study maths in 1997. But she ran away three years later, aged 15, claiming her parents had placed her under intolerable pressure to succeed.

She was found by police 12 days later working as a waitress at a Bournemouth internet cafe but refused to return to her parents, who had given up their jobs to educate their five children at home.

Miss Yusof was taken in by a foster family and shortly afterwards sent a searing email to her parents, documenting the "living hell" she said her father - a private tutor - had created.

She wrote: "I've finally had enough of 15 years of physical and emotional abuse."

She accused her "controlling and bullying" father of forcing her to work in the cold to aid concentration and added that she never wanted to see him again.

In 2004, she married trainee lawyer Jonathan Marshall, but the couple divorced 13 months later.

In January, the Daily Mail revealed that her father Farooq had been remanded in custody after admitting sexually assaulting two girls, both aged 15.

Appearing under his real surname of Khan, he was jailed for 18 months at Coventry Crown Court last week after a judge heard how he had groped the two girls when he was home tutoring them at maths.

He had previously been jailed for three years in 1992 for his part in a £1.5million mortgage swindle involving several family members.

Yesterday the News of the World described how Miss Yusof was armed with three mobile phones as she welcomed an undercover reporter who was posing as a client at her flat.

The once strict Muslim stripped out of her tiny skirt, leather boots, tight T- shirt and red matching underwear as she detailed her £130-an-hour rate.

She claimed to be studying for a masters degree in economics on a part-time two-year course in London and added: "I've got exams coming up and I'm thinking, 'Oh my God!'."

Sufiah advertised her services on the internet (picture posed by model)

Yesterday, her mother, Halimahton, 51, a scientist, said she had no idea her daughter was working as a prostitute.

Speaking from her home in Coventry, Mrs Yusof said: "I didn't know anything about that. I am not in touch with Sufiah any more. I have got no comment."

Miss Yusof's brother, Iskander, aged 12, and sister Aisha, 16, started at Warwick University in 1998, making them the youngest brother and sister to study together at university at the time.

The story of the 'prodigy gone wrong' is always a subject for grim and envious fascination - the obsessed parents, the hothousing, the weird childhood undergraduate career, the dysfunctional later life - but the tale of Sufiah Yusof is bizarre even by the standards of the genre.

"Genius on the game," announced a Sunday newspaper. "For sad Sufiah the daily equation she has to solve is simply sex equals £130."

Sunday's News of the World went on to relate how Miss Yusof, admitted to Oxford University at the age of 13, had taken to hiring herself out over the internet as a prostitute - or "Asian escort" as she termed it - at the rate of £130 per hour.

Estranged from her family, she had adopted the working name of Shilpa Lee and set up shop in a backstreet flat in Salford, Manchester.

The article illustrated Sufiah's precipitate fall from grace by juxtaposing covertly-taken photographs of her in the nude with one of her as a young, smiling girl - all innocence and optimism in mortar board and gown.

The epose was the final straw for Sufiah's mother, Halimahton, a devout Muslim.

Yesterday, she left the family home in Coventry to arrange her divorce from her husband Farooq. The couple's marriage was already under intolerable strain following his guilty plea last week on charges of indecently assulting two 15-year-old girls while working as a personal tutor.

The Yusof family's humiliation was complete.

"We want nothing to do with my dad," said Sufiah's brother Isaac Abraham, 26, speaking on the doorstep. "He was so abusive to us. That's why Sufiah had to get away."

Ten years before, Farooq Yusof had been lauded as a pioneer in hothousing - the intensive personal tutoring of young children.

The subject of his experiments in education were his five children. Early life for them was a regime of spartan intensity.

The temperature in the family home was always low to ensure their attention, morning prayers were followed by stretching and breathing exercises.

Television, pop music and anything else that might lead to "shallow thinking" was banned. Fresh air, said Yusof, was essential for a fresh mind.

Punching helped as well.

"It depended on whatever mood he was in," said Abraham. "He used to wake us up in the middle of the night by punching our faces. It was awful what he put us through."

Born in Pakistan, and considered a prodigy himself, Farooq basked in the publicity that followed Sufiah's admission to St Hilda's College, Oxford.

There were inevitable comparisons with Ruth Lawrence and other precocious achievers, but Yusof stressed that his children's achievements were the result of his teaching rather than their brains.

Still, Sufiah was the star, the only one to reach Oxbridge. The problem for Farooq was that she had not only a fine mind but one of her own.

Although younger than her contemporaries, Sufiah took part in the campaign against tuition fees and joined a number of university societies, even attending the odd meeting of the Socialist Workers Party.

While her father was promising "more Sufiahs", as if his daughter was some kind of production-line model, she was growing up.

Eventually, in 2000 she rebelled, running away from Oxford. Two weeks later, she was found in Bournemouth but refused to be reunited with her parents. A bitter email to them followed, describing her childhood as a "living hell".

"I've finally had enough of 15 years of physical and emotional abuse," she wrote, claiming that she had twice tried to kill herself at the age of 11.

Her anguish had been met with the nickname Crybaby Soo-Fi. "Maybe the public will have a different view of you as devoted parents. I'm not Crybaby Soo-Fi any more."

The publicity turned ugly. Farooq, it emerged, had a history of dishonesty. Jailed for three years for mortgage fraud in 1992, he had also served time in borstal.

Sufiah returned to Oxford but her early promise was beginning to dissipate. It was then that she met Jonathan Marshall, a law student.

The two fell in love and married in 2004. Jonathan had already converted to Islam. He was 24 and she was 19. The marriage lasted less than two years.

Speaking yesterday from Saudi Arabia, where he works for a leading firm of City solicitors, Mr Marshall explained: "The reason we split was that I became more observant and Sufiah became less so.

"That took her in the wrong direction, away from the direction in which I wanted to go. The teachings of Islam are fundamental to your everyday life, so when paths diverge in that respect it is a major issue.

"She was confused, really. She didn't know quite what she wanted. She wasn't ready to settle down. Basically, she wanted to be a student.

"She wasn't particularly extrovert. She wasn't a difficult person to live with. We simply had different goals, different ideas of where we wanted to be. There were, to my knowledge, no affairs or anything. I never considered such a thing, simply because of the religious basis of our marriage."

Mr Marshall said there was little contact between Sufiah and her family in her final year at Oxford but some bridges were mended when they attended the couple's Islamic wedding ceremony.

He did not gain the impression during the marriage that Sufiah had been subjected to physical abuse by her father as a child. Psychological abuse was another matter.

Sufiah completed her course but failed to take her final exams, ostensibly because of her health. When Mr Marshall secured a job with one of the 'magic circle' law firms the couple moved to London and then, briefly to Singapore.

It was there that they decided to split. On returning to London, Sufiah was admitted to London University's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) to read economics.

Despite their split in August 2005, Mr Marshall supported her for eight months before taking up a job with his firm in Saudi Arabia. He has remarried and has two children.

"We agreed that I would assist her for a specific time. I felt a moral obligation to help her out while she was still at university. She wanted to concentrate on university and I agreed she should."

Speaking of the weekend's disclosures, he said: "I am completely shocked. It's very sad, actually. It's very shocking that someone can use themself in such a way. I can't fathom why she would do it - especially someone in her situation. Despite the problems with her family she had many advantages which other people don't have.

"It's a particular shock - her coming from a Muslim background. To see pictures of somebody doing that - somebody I knew very closely - it makes me think how did she get to that stage. Quite frankly she knows well enough what she should and should not do.

"My view is that people can blame childhood to a certain extent, but there also comes a point where you have to take responsibility for your own actions.

"She had her advantages: she had someone willing to support her while she was at university. One newspaper told me that it had offered a substantial amount for her story. Personally, I'd rather sell my story than sell myself."

Mr Marshall has no way of contacting his former wife now - except through the mobile number posted on the website on which she advertised her services.

"I really do hope she manages to get her life back together," he said. "She was obviously very able and it's sad that she is not able to use that talent."

Yet, if Sufiah Yusof is to be believed, she has not yet abandoned her academic career - she told the News of the World's undercover reporter that she was studying for a master's degree in economics and had her exams coming up. Even now, she still has something to prove.

:: MALAYSIA: SCHOOLGIRL PROSTITUTES ALARM MINISTRY ::

Dec 17, 1996
   Prostitution among Penang schoolgirls, immoral behaviour of factory workers and homosexual relationships between youths have been cited by government officials as signs of moral decay which need to be addressed. The Education Ministry said it would investigate claims that some female students in Penang were involved in prostitution after a member of the state Executive Council identified 13 girls aged between 13 and 17 who were offering sex for money "to keep up with the lifestyle of richer peers".
   In Selangor, the Chief Minister, Muhammad Taib, said factory owners should start to play an active role in curbing moral decay among workers. He said that among 5,000 cases of immoral activities uncovered by the authorities, including co-habitation and pregnancy out of wedlock, 70 per cent of those involved were Malays. Most Malays are Muslims and prohibited by religious laws from sex outside marriage.
   In Kuala Lumpur, the Health Minister, Chua Jui Meng, said a study of youths aged between 15 and 21 showed 20 per cent had experienced homosexual relationships. Describing the statistics as "alarming", he said there was a need for an education campaign on AIDS. -- BY IAN STEWART, SOURCES EAST ASIA

::Sex toys, prostitutes openly being peddled by students in Malaysian University::

Kuala Terengganu (Malaysia), Apr 10, 2010: A Malaysian student, Amrie Amanah, has alleged that sex toys are being peddled into the Malaya University by a group of seniors.

Amanah, who recently graduated with a degree in Information Technology at the university, said that the sex toys, including anal beads, dildos, vibrators and sex dolls, were being sold for as low as RM50 in secret transactions often conducted outside the university’s compound.

“I knew of their activities some two years ago, but was not bold enough to come forward as I was still a student then. I decided to expose their wrongdoings once I graduated,” The Star quoted Amanah, as saying.

“The seniors have links with other universities in the East Coast and they even arrange for sexual partners for a sum,” he added.

The 26-year-old further revealed that the leader of the “syndicate” is from Perak, currently pursuing his Masters.

“They have links with other universities and I believe they even operate a prostitution ring catering exclusively for undergraduates,” he said.

“It’s a well-organised syndicate where all arrangements are made for students seeking sexual pleasure anytime,” he added. (ANI)

DEFINITION OF THE PROSTITUTION

DEFINITION OF THE PROSTITUTION 1

‘To prostitute’ is derived from a composition of two Latin words: (preposition) pro and (verb) statuere. A literal translation therefore would be: ‘to expose’, ‘to place up front’.In most cultures the prostitutes (the persons who sell sexual servicies) are socially stigmatized; their customers less so. While prostitution is legal or tolerated in some cultures, it is illegal or socially discouraged in others. Motivations for suppression can vary significantly, from basic moral repugnance to concerns about the effects on society and on those who practice it, as well as whether it is an exploitative practice .

Prostitution is defined as the act of engaging in sexual activity in exchange for money or goods.

We can know the prostitute is a person who performs sexual activity for payment .It also call as person who is perceived as engaging in sexual activity with many people.
