There was a time when I worked on the “Helpline” line, on the night shift. One day, on the way to work, crossing an intersection, I saw a young girl standing there. Her figure attracted attention because she was dressed in a silver jacket, which shone in the darkness that had already set in. Walking past her, I noted the beauty of her fresh face, long golden hair, and a fragile, almost child-like figure. I then thought that she was waiting for someone, and went to work, to the office, “Helpline”, so that for the whole night I could plunge into the tragedies of the whole world. The next evening, when I saw the same figure, on the same place, I was a little surprised - “Really!?” - an unpleasant assumption crept into my thoughts. But the girl stood at her post every evening, with discipline, and I began to come up with an excuse for her - “Forced, threatened, forced.” My assumptions had a basis, and were built on the basis of the information I received from night calls , which were received on the “Helpline”, when a certain “moth”, in a choked whisper, asked, “Save me!” And once again I think about what is happening to these young, gentle creatures, willingly or unwittingly chose this not an easy path? I don’t think I’ll say anything new by calling this type of activity one of the oldest professions. In ancient Greek mythology, priestesses of the goddess of love Aphrodite are mentioned, their role and significance emphasize the value and influence of the goddess in the culture of that time. Somehow The modern understanding of the expression “priestess of love” does not fit with the high values ​​that were assigned to them in ancient times. We look at the wiki, Hetera (from the Greek ἑταίρα - “friend, companion, different, excellent”) - in Ancient Greece a woman leading a free, independent lifestyle, public woman of the highest level. Maybe it's all about the level? At all times, there were special establishments that provided high-level public women for the use of connoisseurs of high-quality services. Today, escort services are a modern analogue of the ancient hetaeras. Escorts, or simply escorts, provide special services, such as accompanying clients to various events or travel. However, unlike the ancient hetaeras, escorts work on the basis of an agreement, and yes, such services are quite expensive, but does money compensate for those mental and often the physical injuries that women receive? "Life on Call" is a film based on real stories about the lives of escort girls. A series of examples of cruel treatment of girls. From the very beginning of the film, - an episode in which a brother tries to snatch his sister out of this service sector, justifying her desire to earn money in such an unpleasant way - “We have a lot of problems in our family. My father drinks, Mom is sick, she needs money for treatment,” he receives an unambiguous answer, “Everyone has problems and everyone needs money, but not everyone decides to earn money in this way. There are other ways to earn money.” The whole storyline is built on the fact that no one. , no one in this type of income is forced to have sex for money. Everyone who has come to this decision does so voluntarily. If in an area where services are provided according to a contract, and therefore the risk of disappearing without a trace, as happens in a criminal environment, is a little less, then what are the motives for women who decide to earn their living in this way. Another side of this business, - this is sexual slavery. There is no talk of making money here. The body is simply exploited, and there are only a few survivors of sexual slavery. Although the epithet “survivors” is completely inappropriate here. Because in sexual slavery, as in any other, first of all, the soul is destroyed. What is a body without a soul? There is an opinion among psychologists that such a decision is made by a girl as a result of PTSD, and for this reason, she cannot distinguish a healthy relationship from a toxic one. If we take the presence of PTSD as the basis for making a decision to do something that destroys the psyche, then the question arises: how many women, in general,?
