Prostitutes Mauban

The film Les Clandestines explores the lives of women involved in prostitution, offering a raw look at their daily struggles and the societal pressures they face. It highlights the secretive nature of the prostitution trade and its impact on the women involved.

Societal Impact and Struggles

In Mauban, Province of Quezon, Philippines, the story of a middle-class small town prostitute who tends to her siblings’ needs exemplifies the harsh realities faced by many women in the sex trade. Similarly, historical records from the Boulogne camp (1803-1809) reveal that many women were forced into prostitution to survive.

Legal and Cultural Context

Legal challenges in prosecuting prostitution-related crimes are evident in cases such as USA v. Jose Carmona (2015). Additionally, cultural and social practices, as depicted in films like Journey to Italy (1954), often subtly mirror the hidden lives of sex workers, sparking debates on moral dilemmas and societal issues.

Efforts to combat human trafficking and raise awareness about the exploitation of minors, as seen in global campaigns and seminars, underscore the ongoing struggle to address prostitution and its related challenges.
