Such days in Britain!

UK inflation has forced many women to sell their bodies. In Britain, the world’s fifth-largest economy, the rise in food and energy prices has been more than offset by increases in wages.

Such news earlier used to come about poor countries of the third world. But this kind of news will come in the international media about a country whose empire never sets the sun, this was not thought by the generations at least till now. Even today Britain is counted among the richest countries in the world. He is a member of the G-7, an organization of the richest countries. But consider this news. The news is that the subsistence crisis caused by Britain’s inflation has forced many women to sell their bodies. In Britain, the world’s fifth-largest economy, the rise in food and energy prices has been more than offset by increases in wages. The steepest drop in the wage rate since 2001 has forced British workers to find some other avenue of income. A recent survey by the insurance company Royal London found that more than 5 million British workers have found a second job to make a living.

In the midst of this crisis, some women are choosing prostitution as a sole employment or as a source of additional income. A report by German media DW has details of conversations with several such women. According to him, these women have a common concern that the situation is going to get worse. One such woman reported that in recent months her daily earnings have dropped from £250 to around £150. Then he started online prostitution last year. After that he got a job as a retail assistant, but he needed more income to meet the increasing expenses. So on the side, he has also continued the business of prostitution. According to UK non-governmental organizations and sex workers’ organizations, there has been an increase in the number of women in the country starting or returning to the sex trade this year. The reason is that the inflation rate in Britain is around 10 percent, which is the highest in the G-7.
