The story of slum woman and her circumstances

This post, that i have posted below,  from The Hindu, the very old and famous news daily from India, depicts the life of a sex worker, getting into the trade by circumstances and compulsion .How everyone from her  son with cerebral palsy, to her brothers , get a better life because of her income, moved me to tears .Her elder son is ashamed of his mother , because of the trade. The huge money , with which she returns back home is because of the rich who use her.What an irony!.What is for one woman , her survival and livelihood, is for the other person , just another pleasure giving activity.There are countless women like her today, selling themselves for food, and daily survival.
