Why we should not legalize sex
"We, the survivors of prostitution and trafficking
gathered at this press conference today, declare that
prostitution is violence against women. Women in prostitution
do not wake up one day and "choose" to be prostitutes. It is
chosen for us by poverty, past sexual abuse, the pimps who take
advantage of our vulnerabilities, and the men who buy us for
the sex of prostitution."
(Manifesto, Joint CATW-EWL Press Conference, 2005)
