Pakistani prostitutes

Although they are legally outlawed, the number of sex workers in the country has increased over the past few years.

Growing unemployment and inflation and the resulting rise in poverty have led many down this road.

Increasingly, young women across the country are putting their bodies up for sale in the “flesh markets”.

girls working out of the dera [or den, as a brothel is called by locals], are handled by a man or more often a woman known simply as “aunty”.

While most are forced into the profession due to poverty, there are some who join voluntarily because they can make more money than in a ‘normal’ trade.

The normal rate for a girl for two to three hours ranges between 1,000 and 1,500 rupees ($12 to $18).

If a client wants to spend the entire night then the rate rises exponentially, depending on the girl’s age and looks.

The girls only get a fraction of this money as most of it goes to the aunty.

The girl will get 300 rupees ($4) if she spends a few hours, and up to 2,000 rupees ($24) for the entire night.

The number of girls is rising by the day, and they are often brought in by relatives such as fathers, mothers, brother and even husbands.

Some of the girls are so young that don’t even reach the age of 15.

Most common cases are where a client makes a perverse or strange demand and the girl refuses. They either beat her black and blue, or just kill her and says “she has run away”.

“I wish the government or some social organization could ensure food, clothing and shelter for this girls”.
