There is no denying the fact that people neither possess a good opinion for red light areas nor any respect for the individuals living there. But while criticizing them or passing a comment or making a judgment, have you ever realized how those girls would have been breathing in the air of such a place where they can’t be themselves and are compelled to kill their inner conscience every day for some reason or the other.
