Thoughtful article on unintended consequences of prostitution laws.
This article in the Vancouver Sun by Peter McKnight takes a thoughtful look at how laws aimed at eradicating prostitution often have unintended consequences.
This blog is about social justice, and specifically, social justice for prostitutes and other sex workers. We provide links to research, resources and information that sheds light on the abysmal conditions sex workers face in this and other countries, which often results in their rape, torture or murder.
This blog takes no political stance on whether prostitution (for those over 18) should be legalized or decriminalized. We are not affiliated with any of the organizations that appear in our links. They are simply resources. This blog will provide resources and support for those who want to exit the sex industry. We will offer the stories of women who have successfully left the sex industry to show that recovery from this life is possible and available. We also hope to support the families and friends of sex workers as they grieve and begin to understand the many difficulties their loved ones face as sex workers. Hopefully they can support their loved ones as they attempt to exit the sex industry.
