Despite of being an internationally informal as well as an outlawed industry, Prostitution has forlornly appeared as one of the most prominent and drastically progressing human trade all over the world. No matter it is a deprived societal order or a so-called developed and civilized social milieu, prostitutes are the most hated and creepy creatures when it comes to preach such intense words like respect, dignity and honor; however, when it comes to meet sexual and entertaining human desires, they are the most favorite human puppets to play with and to be forgotten, just like that. This world echoes human rights, women rights, labor rights, children rights and other debates on similar but ‘reputed’ themes, excluding the rights of this particular community. Question arises “WHY?” Because they are not counted among human, labor, children or sometimes, even, women. This is the Dark Side of our civilized society. Researchers found that our society, itself, has nurtured whoredom with various social ingredients, like hunger, poverty, deceive, anger, revenge etc. such that now we are standing in front of a deeply rooted, fully-grown tree of prostitution, which once was feeble and had boundaries; but now has complex and countless branches. In this qualitative research, this greyer shade of human life is being explored exhaustively to look into the miseries these forgotten or overlooked creatures are growing with. By interviewing several prostitutes trading in Pakistani context, it is tried to explore the key elements that usually drive them into this business. The what’s, whys, and how’s allied with the life of a Pakistani prostitute are the cornerstones of this research work. All in all, this real-time research is aimed to uncover the bitter realities and experiences of mortals we termed as ‘Prostitutes.’
