Abstract
The current research attempts to capture the particularities of self-esteem in people who practice deviant sexual behaviours. As theoretical basis for the empirical explanation and testing of self-esteem, the study is based on theories of social psychology with reference to professional role and status, as well as on national and international research on deviant sexual behaviours as a psycho-social phenomenon. The purpose of our research is to explore the factors that inclined women towards prostitution. Self-esteem of this persons as well as aspects of self-image have been analyzed compared to those who do not practice such behaviors. In our research we show that poverty, emotional vulnerability and lack of education influence the rate of deviant sexual behaviours of young women and research results show that the self-esteem of this subjects is significantly reduced. The social impact of female education is profound. Most prominent is the role of mothers’ education in reducing infant and child mortality, lowering fertility, and promoting children’s education. Greater control over family finances directly affects children, as women are more likely to spend discretionary resources on investments in human capital – health, education and food. HIV/AIDS disproportionately affects females, particularly teenage girls. Educated women are better able to reduce risky behaviour by negotiating safe sex with partners. Education also empowers women to fend off domestic violence. In conclusion, we support the need for sexual education and health education programs to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and prevent deviant sexual behaviours.
