A mother, a child, a wife, a friend, or a prostitute?

Is a woman a mother, a child, a wife, a friend or a prostitute. It takes two to mingle but it takes 10 men to have sex with one woman who is desperate for money.
Prostitution, is not something that has just popped up out now recently, it has been going on for years.
On Friday April 19, 2013 just outside my hostel, there was an alleged kidnapping around 11:30pm near the Art of Living Ashram, Bangalore. The first question that went through my mind, why was this girl walking on a dark road so late? It frightened me to know that in any scenario of kidnapping, we would either hear that the person has been raped and murdered or raped and left for dead.
The next day, we all questioned the situation, could it be a kidnapping, a prostitute, a run away girl, what could it be? Why was she wearing a night gown? The boys from the hostel were outside when they heard a scream and the girl being forced into the car. They  closed the road off with rocks, the vehicle stopped, but in a panic state the driver put foot on the accelerator and drove over the rocks. The boys gave chase, and took down the number plate of the car, but were in-vain. They reported it at the police station.
But my instinct kept telling me this girl is a prostitute, and yes it was believed to be a prostitute. 
Women waiting to be picked up.
This came about when the vehicle had stopped inquiring about the bumps on Saturday night (April 20) while passing by. After he noticed a big group gathered on the road, he sent a few people to IAME college. 
Speaking to the teacher, these men stated that it was a prostitute, and she allegedly did not agree with the amount offered to her, so she walked out. But who are these men, hmmm, typical, they are believed to be politicians. Though my question is what the hell is a politician doing with a prostitute just before the Lok Satta election in Karnataka? What is the example he is setting to the youth out there? That it is good to sleep with women? Is he suppose to be setting an example or destroying his image? 
When will prostitution ever end is a question that everyone and I ask myself? 
Only way we can find a solution is if men that pick these women up, stop picking them up every night, and more jobs are created for people.
