Covert Codes of Women in Prostitution: Trauma & Recovery.

      Аннотация: The aim of this book is to analyze the life stories of women in prostitution from childhood to adulthood revealing their personal experiences, which unfold by the main, specific life patterns that this study silhouettes. The obstacles they faced while growing up, the choices they made to decide whether or not to disengage from prostitution and the help they sought are the main areas of focus in this study, which examines how those women managed to live through their life experiences. A more general aim of this study was to provide a “voice” to a woman in prostitution revealing what it means to be a woman who is a victim of prostitution. The issues regarding women in prostitution as well as women trafficked for purposes of sexual exploitation often gain significance as a multidimensional problem in our country. This is especially so, when different opinions come from various, contradictory representations. Our society considers prostitution and women in prostitution as existing by two scenarios, relevant to morality and relevant to free choice.
