Several years ago, I participated in the raid along the night streets in Shymkent with the dermatologists of venereal disease dispensary and also volunteers.
We went round the point where priestesses of love rushed with approach of twilight they called themselves as commercial sex workers. Night butterflies were walking in prospectus Respublica. They behaved themselves peacefully. Volunteers handed them the product number 2. Doctors invited them to free observation and, if it is necessary, to treatment in venereal disease dispensary.
It was explained in their interests. They promised. But it was evident that we disturb them from their work. Vehicles were stopping one after another; one of the girls ran up to the window of the car whispered something to the passenger.
Then alone or taking someone else of her friends, she sat in the car and disappeared. Then we were in neighborhoods, went down through the street Sayramskaya to Railway station. I was sure that even now operates the same old pattern. Apparently I was not right.
In the sex industry has been changes. The prostitutes of South Kazakhstan are called the SW - sex workers now, as everywhere in the world. The avenue of Republic is still their main abode.
