Market of intimate services in border areas: Prices have almost doubled!!

The impact of hostilities on the market for intimate services in border regions, such as the Krasnodar Territory, has become ambiguous and contradictory. On the one hand, the demand for these services has increased.

This is due to a number of factors:

Influx of military personnel: There are more military personnel in the region, who are known to often use the services of sex workers.
Stress and psychological strain: Hostilities and the difficulties associated with them can push people to find ways to relax and relieve stress, including through intimate services.
Declining incomes: Due to the economic problems caused by the war, some people may seek additional sources of income, including through prostitution.

On the other hand, the supply in the prostitution market has decreased. This happened for a number of reasons:

Mobilization: Some women who were previously engaged in prostitution were mobilized or left the region.
Tightening controls: The authorities have increased control over the activities of sex workers, making their work more risky.
Change in the psychological climate: The war and related events may have had a negative impact on people's desire to engage in prostitution.

As a result of these factors, prices for intimate services in the border regions have almost doubled. If in the pre-war period an hour of sex worker services cost an average of up to 1000 rubles, now this amount can reach more than 2000 rubles. Sex workers are often subjected to violence, exploitation and discrimination.

Military action could further exacerbate these problems. In this regard, it is important that human rights organizations and other stakeholders pay more attention to the protection of the rights of sex workers in border regions. It should also be remembered that prostitution can be a sign of deeper social problems, such as poverty, inequality and lack of access to education and social services. Therefore, it is important not only to combat the consequences of prostitution, but also to address its root causes.
