The Dancing Girls Are Out Of Business

The dancing girls in the Shahi mohallah of Lahore also known as Heera Mandi or Diamond market are pretty much out of business now. It is no more a place where the men used to spend their time looking at the dancing girls who were trained in the arts of song, music, dance and seduction. Unlike other markets, this market was quiet in the daytime but was very active in the night.

Mostly, the dancing girls focused on dance and music but a few were involved in the sex trade also. The reason why they are out of work and most of them have left Heera mandi is because of the bomb blasts that took place near the market. They were afraid that there was no security provided to them. Thus, they were forced to close their business and move out.

Some have gone to other areas of city and some have gone to places like UAE and UK. It is doubtful if they would do well if they go for prostitution in the other countries because laws are different there and they could get into trouble. While some who only focused on dance and music are now forced into prostitution because they have no other way to earn money now. Because of poverty and less opportunities to work, most women are saying that they have no choice but to go for prostitution now.  Some of the smarter women opted to work through the internet and they attract affluent clients for their services.

Thus terrorism and security threats have taken their toll on many occupations of Pakistan.
