I can't believe that in Australia prostitution is regulated by states and that the Netherlands actually legalized prostitution. It makes the system more corrupt and give the pimps and buyers more power the "right" to abuse the women. By allowing prostitution to be legal, women are treated even more like property. They're brainwashed to think that they're unworthy and deserve punishment, so they don't try to escape. It is a "physical and psychological enslavement". Most of them do take some drugs by needles that all the other girls use which give a higher rate for HIV. The reading talks about it and how they have monthly check-ups that they pay for themselves. They take drugs and alcohol to escape reality, which they have to pay for-so they can't get out. They're trapped in a corrupt system. One factor that causes sex trafficking and prostitution is if the country is poor. When that is the situation, most times even the government is involved which makes the situation even worse by giving more power to the buyers and pimps in charge.
Some families unknowing sell their daughters. A women comes and says she has a job to offer that pays well, so the parents let the women take their daughter, but then the women sells the girl to a brothel. There are so millions stories like Siri's. One that I can across on youtube was about a girl from Cambodia, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7MJVQJnHcM). In these small, poor countries sex is a big attraction. I believe that women, girls, and children should have other options instead of selling their bodies. They should not be forced and there should be more campaigns/actions to dissolve sex trafficking and prostitution. A few steps to prevent it may be to give people a better education, for the government to provide the essential material to live, and create more laws against both crimes that are enforced internationally. How can the world live in peace with a population of more than seven million people, forced in a system that demands the corruption of their bodies-which breaks their spirit and soul?
I agree very much with this, i do not think that prostitution should be regulated by states at all. It does make women feel that are more like property. I as a women do not want to feel that way. Growing up that way though women don't really know the difference. I think it is really sad.
