Has anyone seen this? It's about a "managed" area of street prostitution.

It's very confronting. And it has absolutely solidified my position against legalised prostitution. I don't know how anyone can look at the lives of these women, and tacitly condone the situation through legalisation.

It's tragic.

And so many of these women are foster kids/care leavers. We must start much much earlier with proper intervention and support for children in need.

Heart breaking that's how people are

Awful isn't it.. I used to work next door and often had cars pulling up beside me. They are all so fragile and come from shitty backgrounds They earn a lot of money so could get out of that situation but the drugs eat it all up. I just wanna whisk them all away somewhere..
But if you read punting forums, they justify it by saying they don't use street prostitutes but use the ones from Adultwork who aren't druggies and have their own places. Okay that's alright then..
