Most of the girls are harassed even while living among the sanskari people in PGs in satellite, judges’ bungalows and society houses on Gurukul Road. People complain but nothing happens. It is estimated that instead of decreasing, the spas will increase to 200 in 2024. In which more than 1 thousand girls work. It takes the youth on the path of destruction. Most of the spas are on rent and housing of police personnel or officers. Which charges three times the rent. In which the work of installment and liaisoning also comes.

Now this badi has entered 22 cities including 8 metros of Gujarat. Whose number is very large.

Vadodara
In February 2020, there were 25 foreign girls from Thailand and Laos in spas and massage parlors in Alkapuri, Vasna-Bhayli Road, Gotri and Atladara of Vadodara city.

In Valsad, the son of a businessman from Kutch was caught with a Thai girl in a spa.

In 2020, girls were called from abroad on tourist visa. A Thai girl was caught working in a spa while living in Vadodara without a working visa.

10 boys were caught running a sex trade in Atom Spa Center in Vijay Nagar police station area of ​​​​Indore. Not only Gujarat but big cities of India are in its grip.

Trade or trafficking
It is not that girls are brought here, 10 times larger groups from Gujarat go to Thailand and do business of getting sexual pleasure with girls. A citizen of Nikol, the constituency of former Home Minister Pradeep Jadeja, said that in Gujarat, Rs 3 thousand to 25 thousand are being charged for enjoying sex with foreign girls. Nikol has the highest number of spas in the whole of Ahmedabad.

Home ministers should think

The constituency of former Minister of State for Home Pradeep Jadeja has the highest number of spas during his tenure.

Recently, a spa was caught in a raid in the constituency of Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghvi in ​​Surat.

If the country’s Home Minister Amit Shah and Bhupendra Patel, who is handling the Home Department in Gujarat, do not take any action, then the youth will continue to be looted like this.

Create a scrap market like Surat

Smuggling has been going on for centuries, it is difficult to stop it. 30 years ago there was a public scrap market in Surat. Rajkot and Bhavnagar were also markets. Such markets were at many ports. Prostitution is not a new business for Gujarat. Therefore, if it is legalized, then by building such a complex in a certain area and bringing a law allowing prostitution there, then economic and physical exploitation can be stopped. Such filth is most responsible for the spread of AIDS. It can also be controlled.

4 lakh customers

In Gujarat, such girls mostly work in spas. Where he sells his body in the name of spa. In 2023, the number of passengers going to Thailand from India was 16 lakh 20 thousand. It is estimated that 25 percent of them have gone from Gujarat. 4 lakh tourists go to Thailand from Gujarat. There is no other industry in Thailand in which people from India go. If prostitution markets start in the Mahasva cities of Gujarat, then billions of rupees going abroad can be stopped.

25 cities covered

50 in Rajkot and Surat, 100 in Ahmedabad and other cities

25 spas were investigated.

Most of the spas offer curvy Thai girls

She was doing prostitution in the name of massage. In such cities, prostitution centers should be built in such a way that people do not face problems due to them. Chanakya also spied through prostitution.

With the closure of dance bars in Mumbai, the spa culture in Gujarat has left me. In which an economy of billions of rupees has been created. Which now needs to be legalized.

Why Thailand girls?

Prostitution is not illegal in Thailand. Prostitution grew due to police corruption during the Vietnam War and economic dependence on prostitution. Poverty in rural areas, low level of education and lack of employment. Prostitutes mostly come from Thailand’s northeastern (Isan) region, from ethnic minorities, or from neighboring countries, particularly Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos.

Laws against prostitution are generally not enforced privately. Penalties are publicly meted out.

Crime
In Thailand, anyone who procures, brokers, threatens, entices, receives income from the proceeds of prostitution, or transports a prostitute can be imprisoned for one to ten years and fined between twenty thousand and two hundred thousand baht.

The numbers
An estimate by Dr. Nitit Tinnakul of Chulalongkorn University in 2004 estimated that there were a total of 2.8 million sex workers, including 2 million women, 20,000 adult men, and 800,000 minors under the age of 18. Organizations working for the cause estimate that there are between 150,000 and 300,000 sex workers. A government survey estimated there were 76,000 to 77,000 adult prostitutes.

The share of sex income in the Thai economy is about 10 percent. Russian prostitutes used to work in Thailand.

More than 24,000 people were arrested for prostitution-related crimes in 2019.

Red light areas

In Thailand, there are Lumphini Park in Bangkok, Boystown in Pattaya, Suni Plaza, Walking Street in Patpong, Ratchadaphisek Road, Patong Beach Resort on Phuket Island, which involve physical activities. These include brothels, hotels, massage parlors, restaurants, saunas, hostess bars, go-go bars, bar girls, and beer bars.

Slavery

The abolition of slavery in 1905 caused many women to become homeless and unemployed and they began to be purchased as concubines. Many of these became prostitutes. Prostitution was legalized in 1908.

Vietnam War
20 thousand prostitutes were provided during the Vietnam War. After the end of the Vietnam War, prostitution in Thailand increased dramatically.

HIV prevalence was 2.8 percent in 2017

Politicians
Chuvit Kamolvisit owned several massage parlors in Bangkok and many consider him the “godfather of prostitution” in Thailand. In 2005 he was elected to a four-year term in the Thai House of Representatives, but was removed from office by the Constitutional Court in 2006.

Many MPs there own red light areas. Buddhism is the only religion in the country.

Exploitation by the police
The delicate position of prostitution in Thai society makes it suitable for exploitation by the police and government officials. Prostitutes pay a substantial amount to officials to obtain permission. Persecution has increased since the junta came to power in 2014, as has the demand for money. The effect is to take businesses and sex workers to the street or the internet as freelancers. So prostitutes are also coming to India. (Translated from Gujarati, All Gujarat News Web)
