Mercantilização do sexo feminino: a marginalização, o estigma e os preconceitos da Profissão de Prostituta no Município de Paulista- PB.

Abstract

Prostitution is an activity that offers sexual services, being one of the oldest activities in the world, being marked by a range of complex, stigmas and prejudices, with traces of an arising society of patriarchy that women born to be house wives, mothers , wives and submissive to men, and those who did not follow this script were not well regarded in society. For women prostitutes these are seen as desvirtuantes of religious morality and women's submission culture to procreate and be the home of the private sector. The work was done by literature and after a field survey conducted in the city of Paulista - Paraiba in 2015. It was used as a methodology texts lecture on the history of prostitution, construction of stigma by controlling women's sexuality and finally, prostitution in Brazil and Paraíba, with focus on bills and in NGOs and movements that work for the benefit of those professionals as well as interviews, through which we seek relevant information to local representations of prostitution. It is evident that these women suffer from the prejudices of society and that many are facing difficulties, that prostitution is the source of livelihood for them and their families, but the moralizing point of view of society and religion, is mentioned by many as a bypass conduit.
