Abstract:

This study examines the life experiences and perceptions of prostitutes. The research design is an exploratory qualitative one and is based on the interpretive paradigm, in terms of the results it is applied and in terms of the criteria of the time it is cross-sectional. Through a systematic analysis of in-depth interviews with 16 participants (prostitutes, procurers, and customers) the grounded theory was conducted based on Strauss and Corbin's approach. After open and axial coding, 80 subcategories and 20 main categories were extracted. Ultimately, based on selective coding, the central phenomenon was formulated in the form of "prostitution, conflict resolution in the cycle of poverty, insecurity and exploitation". The results of the research showed that the central phenomenon was influenced by a set of underlying conditions including "deficiency in household and women-related laws" and "instability in socio-economic conditions" and interventional conditions including "deprivations from traditional culture", "inappropriate marriage", "addiction and acceleration of the propensity for prostitution", "domestic violence", "weak social skills", "shaky family" and "educational background",  and causal conditions included "social insecurity", "the prosperity of the market for exploitation" and "the increasing poverty of the household." Prostitutes also use strategies such as "active compliance with existing status" and "cross-sectional/non-enforced resistance" that results in "incapacitated risk aversion", "continuous exposure to violence" and "removing family from everyday life."
