There are levels. The only escort I've ever known (who came out and freely admitted it -- and she'd retired) did it for a couple of years to raise money for her family's needs, then quit. She would say: "I thought it was a hell of a lot less degrading than waitressing."
She worked in San Francisco which has a big community of female and male and now shemale sex workers catering to locals and tourists. They work off the streets, using the Internet (many have personal websites) and phones and social media. It's not seen as any kind of problem. Sex is natural, people have rights, if they want to sell their bodies, do it.
Nepali girls basically trafficked into disgusting brothels in New Delhi, completely different story. But taking India as an example, I wouldn't want to be a woman born there at any level.
