Abstract
Sex workers contend that the emergence of the sex business may be traced back to the pursuit of commercial profits. Several economic issues, including economic inequality, according to sex workers, are at the basis of commercial sexual activity. The sex industry and demand are irreplaceable, which indicates that commercial sex will remain in existence indefinitely.
