A very one sided portrayal. All "poor sex workers how will they pay their rent", no "great, men can't use women for their own gratification and trafficking of young women for prostitution has probably reduced, red light districts may be safer for women and maybe men seeing women as commodities isn't a good thing. "
A one sided sob story about the loss of the wonderful career that is prostitution.

It's crass putting it in the business section. It should have been in society /social affairs.

The article is poor but there is an issue here. Some women choose to work in the sex industry, it's their choice - not coercion. They have found themselves without income in some circumstances. I'm not defending the trade, but simply saying it shouldn't exist doesn't help women who cannot put food on the table. I've met a women who has this profession, university educated, no drugs, owns her own house outright at 35, loves sex - they do exist.
Let us focus on the unicorns and ignore the seven year old girls.

The BBC really hasn't moved on since Savile, seemingly. Sick article to talk about someone who was trafficked into prostitution and raped as a 7 year old as a 'sex worker'. I complained, but told them, no thanks, I didn't want their weasel worded reply and that THIS is why I no longer pay my tv license.

If this high-living 35 year old with her own house loves sex so much, why does she charge for doing it?
