I was amazed while reading your posting! You think that the law is put in place to help people and it sounds like by passing legalization/decriminalization, it is just fueling the fire of prostitution! Why do you think that the media has been able to put a positive spin on this legislation? It was very educational to read your posting and see the direct correlation between the legislation and activities that are taking place a result. I know your organization focuses on women, but is child trafficking, both men and women, a pressing issue as well? Other than high lighting the links, does your organization have counseling or other options in place for women who are rescued from this lifestyle? Good luck in your fight to influence policy makers and make some changes. It is very admirable what you and your organization are doing!
