Book synopsis

Die irische Autorin Rachel Moran tritt an gegen das Prostitutionsestablishment. Ihr brillanter und international hochgelobter Bericht, der nun erstmalig in deutscher Sprache vorliegt, entlarvt die romantisierenden Vorstellungen von der selbstbestimmten Hure . Er wendet sich gegen eine Scheinliberalität in der Prostitutionsgesetzgebung, die es unmöglich macht, Frauen vor dem Weg in ein ausbeuterisches Gewerbe effektiv zu schützen. Moran weiß aus eigenem Erleben, wovon sie spricht. Als obdachlose Heranwachsende geriet sie in den Strudel der Prostitution und konnte sich erst sieben Jahre später aus eigener Kraft daraus befreien. Als Überlebende ist sie dieser Parallelwelt entkommen und liefert uns in ihrem Buch nun Innenansichten einer zerstörerischen Lebensweise. Mit den sensiblen Einsichten einer Betroffenen und der virtuosen Sprachmächtigkeit der geschulten Journalistin führt sie in die Gesetzmäßigkeiten einer Tabuzone ein, aus der keine Frau unbeschadet zurückkehrt. Moran befragt nicht nur ihren eigenen Weg in die Prostitution und ihre Erfahrungen als Prostituierte. Sie nimmt dieses Feld als Ganzes in den Blick, seine offenen und verdeckten Mechanismen der Abwertung und der Gewalt. Ihr Bericht macht deutlich: Der Handel mit Frauenkörpern ist ein Verstoß gegen die Menschenwürde und eine Form des sexuellen Missbrauchs. Und: Die öffentliche Debatte über Prostitution wird in Zukunft anders geführt werden müssen. The author came from a difficult family background in North Dublin city and by the age of 15 she was living and working on the streets. For the next seven years she was a prostitute, both on the streets of Dublin, in brothels around the city and occasionally in other Irish locations. At the age of 22, a series of lucky breaks liberated her from life as a prostitute and started her on the path to further education and ultimately a degree in Media Studies and Sociology from Dublin City University. Paid For is her own story in her own words and in her own name. It pulls no punches. In addition to the narrative elements, it contains searing social analysis which explodes many of the myths about prostitution. The author believes there are no happy hookers. To experience prostitution is to endure a cycle of misery, danger, violence and numbness. This is a book of startling originality, courage and honesty. It tells the story of a hidden world, one which is often trivialised and glamorised, with clarity and an eloquence that is quite unique. Paid For tears away the veil that shrouds prostitution and, from her own experience, tells us the truth. 'When you are fifteen years old and destitute, too unskilled to work and too young to claim unemployment benefit, your body is all you have left to sell.' Rachel Moran came from a troubled family background. Taken into State care at fourteen, she became homeless and got involved in prostitution aged fifteen. For the next seven years Rachel worked as a prostitute, isolated, drug-addicted, outside of society.§Rachel's experience was one of violence, loneliness, and relentless exploitation and abuse. Her story reveals the emotional cost of selling your body night after night in order to survive-loss of innocence, loss of self-worth and a loss of connection from mainstream society that makes it all the more difficult to escape the prostitution world. At the age of 22 she managed, with remarkable strength, to liberate herself from that life.§She went to university, gained a degree and forged a new life, but she always promised that one day she would complete this book. This is Rachel Moran's story, written in her own words and in her own name.
