I certainly agree that those who purchase sex should be held accountable, but I must disagree with your preference to keep punishing those who are in the sex trade. Some of those who are prostituting themselves (or being forced to work as prostitutes) are already being exploited, they will most certainly not seek out help if they believe they are going to be punished (this has been a major flaw in the past: a sex worker who is being exploited seeks help, then she gets thrown into jail for being a prostitute - albeit unwillingly - and the guy who bought sex and the pimp who controls her, go free). I believe that the only way to provide safe exit strategies is to not punish those wanting to get out. This is why I'm advocating for the Nordic Model.Niki Devereauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354357272918385858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17856441.post-11221111996428629552014-02-25T02:35:26.717-05:002014-02-25T02:35:26.717-05:00Keep the laws as they stand now -continue to make ...Keep the laws as they stand now -continue to make it illegal to solicit or profit from prostitution -also the PEOPLE who are using these women/girls -men/boys - for the purpose of prostitution should be prosecuted for living off of the avails of prostitution and when charged and found guilty put them in JAIL for at least<br />5 years -more would be nice -the PEOPLE who buy time with these prostitutes should also be made accountable with fines or jail - -more programs for people who feel there is no other way -give them the help they need to make better decisions in their lives so they can learn a more positive way of life-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
