Which brings up the issue of if prostitution should be legal. Let me get this clear, I do not want any woman (or man) to have no choice but to resort to working as a prostitute, but like it or not, for some women, this is how they survive. What I want is a system to support sex workers, so that they can get the help and support to work in a safe manner, but more importantly, the help and support to get out of the trade if needed. Making sex work legal may also help to reduce sex trafficking as sex workers would be given rights.
Like it or not, there are websites for men to be sugar daddies and many men seek ‘love’ abroad in a way that many consider to be transactional for too many women.
In a nation where pensioners are having funds for heating taken away, legalisation and regulation of sex work may actually help the economy.
