Baumann (2013) reports from the north-eastern \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHungarian city of Nyiregyhaza, where according to the report of the project \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tgroup IRIS 2012 (Sex Educatio 2012) a majority of women prostituting themselves \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tat the Zurich Sihlquai come from. Most of the Rroma houses in Nyiregyhaza were \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tformerly barracks for Hungarian soldiers who were neglected since the 70s. The \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsettlement of the Rroma is a segregated place behind the railway tracks, called \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHuszar. Unemployment among the residents of Huszar is blatantly high and lies, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\taccording to a university study around 70%. There is a kind of word of mouth in \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNyiregyhaza about the fast money that can be earned at the Zurich streets. Also, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tas emphasized by the study of Sex Educatio, prostitution in Hungary greatly \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trestricted due to repressive legislation. According to the social worker \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKatalin Szoboszlai of Collina most women were pushed out of their own \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tenvironment to work as prostitutes. Classic trafficking is rare. This is \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcontradicted by statements of employees of the counselling centre \u201cFlora Dora\u201d, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twho find a smooth continuum between the extremes of trafficking and so-called \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvoluntary prostitution: Even relatives can push or force their own to degrading \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tactivities.<\/p>\n

The study of sex Educatio (2012) indicates that the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmajority of sex workers belong to the Zurich Rroma groups the Romungro or Olah. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHow they arrived at this information is not discussed. We know\u00a0 that the original question in the study \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstated \u201care you Hungarian or Rroma?\u201d. Most respondents replied Hungarian. How \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tone arrived at the conclusion of a majority of Rroma is unclear in the study \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\titself. The one-sided focus on Rroma is therefore to be critically questioned. Prostitution \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tneeds to be seen as a result of structural violence that arises from poverty, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsocio-economic circumstances and social exclusion. That there is a relationship \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbetween ethnicity and social segregation, is undeniable. It is questionable, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thowever, to restrict the issue of poverty prostitution to Rroma and thus give \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tto giving an ethnic dimension.<\/p>\n
