I agree in terms of this idea that if we can get rid of the exploitation, modify sex work as we know it and remove those hazards, we could well end up with a kind of sex work that is free from much of the sexual race and class discrimination thats currently ingrained in the job. If we therefore are moving toward a form of sex work that is free from emotional prejudice, where those who become sex workers are adults and clearly are not compelled to do so, when sex workers are no more economically exploited than other wage workers in lots of situations who are clearly exploited, and when the buying and selling of sexual services is equally available to both men and-why not-women, then more than half the battle, I think, will have been won Mr. Art Hanger: If theres a shift in the way our laws are formulated, should the government be involved in registering and taxing prostitution?

Even within the limited goal that legalization sets for itself i.e, to reduce the harms that surround prostitution the evidence does not show that it has succeeded. The most recent comprehensive study of prostitution and trafficking in one hundred and fifty countries finds that countries that have legalized prostitution show an increased inflow of trafficked persons, and growth in the size of the prostitution industry.3 Government reports from Germany, the Netherlands, and New Zealand say that street prostitution persists,4 and that there is little improvement in the conditions of women in prostitution.5 The violence inherent in prostitution is accepted by legalization, and the violence regularly associated with prostitution does not disappear. You raised a very important question about who has the right to engage in prostitution. That is a right that does not exist. It is an invention that is part of the ideological debate. It is the right to live without prostitution that needs to be protectedin other words, the right not to be forced to become a prostitute in order to make a living. I am alarmed by the cutbacks to social services, including the imposition of minimum thresholds. In order to make ends meet, people turn to prostitution. Womens groups are also seeing this phenomenon among women. No one should be forced to turn to prostitution in order to meet his or her basic needs. This is a rich country and we can certainly take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that everyone has the minimum required to survive. We have to look at the root causes of prostitution and really take whatever steps are necessary. Prostitution has very deleterious effects on the entire community, and we cannot afford to ignore that. Garçons, de plus en plus de fillettes sont recrutées comme..

Helen Vasa-Registered Clinical Counsellor, Canada Elizabeth Monk-Turner and Charlie Turner December 23, 2009, Subjective Well-being Among Those Who Exchange Sex and Money, Yunnan, China and Thailand, Social Indicators Research 99: 13, : This progressive policy has proven its effectiveness: The idea was not to create a red-light zone. It is not possible to do that in Canada, because it is prohibited by the current legislation. This was a joint project between the City of Montreal, community organizations and the Montreal police. It involved diversion of sex workers by setting up a team composed of a community worker and a police officer, whose role would have been to reduce the social irritants caused by street prostitution. That is different from setting up a red-light zone in the south-centre district of Montreal. Cenen M. Bagon Vancouver Committee for Domestic Workers and Caregivers Rights, Vancouver, BC, Cana Pour voir le résumé des offres au Sénégal chaque jour, veuillez vous abonner à ma chaine youtube Moussa Kayré https:www.youtube.comcmoussakayre Thank you for this interesting discussion. I am studying the possibly violent language used in the sex industry. At the moment I am doing a broad comparison of certain terms, of differences in the language used by clients, men and women in prostitution, the sex industry pornography, public and NGOs. It is very difficult to access the first category especially, the clients. I need to either interview them on their attitudes or record them, in order to analyze their language first hand, but I dont need to meet them. Written material, such as an internet exchange would be adequate. If anyone has ideas on how this could be done in an ethical manner please respond here, and we may correspond by e-mail if needed.
