Prostitution can be defined as non-optional sex work for money or other material possessions. The Immoral Traffic (Prevention). Act 1956 was enacted in India to address the issue of trafficking and prostitution in the country. Legalization supporters argue that it would provide legal protection and social benefits to sex workers. Opponents argue that it would promote the commodification and objectification of women’s bodies and could increase the demand for prostitution. Prostitution is illegal in India under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention). It remains a pervasive problem in the country, with estimates suggesting that there are between 2 and 10 million sex workers in India. Men and transgender people also participate in prostitution, although less than women. Many sex workers come from poor and marginalized communities and may have been forced into sex work due to poverty, lack of education, or other factors
