Prostitution is the world’s oldest profession. It’s not going to go away irrespective of the laws in place. Keeping it illegal does not protect the women who are involved, it leads to more victimization as they will have to ply their trade in secret underground and will find it difficult to seek redress when they are abused. Women having full rights to their bodies should include the right for them to make money off those bodies should they choose to do so.
