Anyone who engages in this practice is known as a prostitute. It has been a long-practiced activity since the society was organized. It is a practice that has been prevalent in both ancient and modern India. Furthermore, prostitution is criminalized in India but there is a range of activities related to it such as solicitation, kerb crawling, owning prostitutes, prostitution in public places, exploitation of children, pimping, and pandering. In her career as a prostitute, Intercourse employees faced many challenges. Her legal rights were violated simply because she is a prostitute. Some sex workers choose this profession out of their own consent, but brothel owners offer some of it. Intercourse workers' violence is linked to residents' perceptions of them as criminals. India's Supreme Court made headlines by directing it to recognize prostitution as a profession and asserting that sex workers, like some other professionals, are entitled to dignity and constitutional rights. The Indian Penal Code outlaws a number of activities related to prostitution, including pimping and renting property to run a brothel. According to the Immoral Traffic Act of 1956, human trafficking is prohibited in India. Keywords: Prostitutes, Prostitutions, Illegal Activities Page: 1 Volume III Issue I ISSN: 2583-0538
