Because they aren't traffickers when everybody believes it's a "job", they are employers and are upstanding members of the community contributing to the country's wealth (by selling women's bodies.
Yes they are - there is a very very clear line between an agency owner (the prostitutes are actually still self employed by the way) who takes a commission for reception, arranging bookings etc , and someone who FORCES women into the job against her will, after bringing her to the country with the promise of a 'better life'
It is blatantly not the same thing. If Sex Work were to be legalised then people would still see traffickers as wrong obviously.
AZM it sounds like you're pretty active in this area still
No I am not active still, although I do have friends who are.
There isn't any other job that require having your orifices penetrated by someone else's genitals
I wasn't talking about orifices being penetrated - actually I what I meant by disgusting bits are for example occasionally I would encounter a client who obviously had bad personal hygiene, so I made him take a shower. He did, but as I realise when he has taken his clothes off is that his idea of a shower is rudimentary and he did not wash properly, so I would have to explain to him I'm withholding most services based on that and he can either leave or have very reduced services and the atmosphere is bad all round.
And we haven't even started talking about the violence prostituted women are subject to yet
I wish you would stop using the term "prostituted women" - it is insulting to people like my friends who choose to to the job.
Yes there is occasionally violence - I will not deny that. However, the risk of violence happening or that violence being able to continue for longer than a few seconds is next to zero if there is security on the premises. Men cannot be violent in a proper regulated brothel - they will be thrown out in an instant, and blacklisted. I have witnessed this. Criminalising will increase the risk of violence.
I do believe that women should not go into prostitution believing it to be the stuff of Belle-du-jour fantasies (as many young women do), however I wish people would respect that it is shades of grey - not black and white, and respect women's choices and right to a voice about the job they do. I'm just being honest about my experiences, and my experience of knowing many many Sex-Workers from Street to Parlour to normal Escorts to so called "high class" (I hate that word) Escorts. Even webcam models, masseuses, strippers etc.
