Social Aspect of Non-Violence 0. 172
the rich persons of society who lead luxurious life may be considered responsible for this unsocial activity. If rich persons who participate in prostitution, are permitted to live unhesitatingly in society, on what basis prostitutes should be got out of society. On humanitarian ground they also be allowed to live in common society if they leave their sex business. The theory of non-violence prescribes equal treatment to all. References :
