Prostitution should be legalized With the legalization of Prostitution thee industry will get taxed, leaving billions in revenue for the United States Government. If legalized the government would regulate it and would enforce strict health laws, these laws would prevent the spread of Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Less human violations would occur because there would not be any “pimps”, instead a fair industry where all sex workers receive the fair share. Prostitution should be legalized to tax for the services provided, improve the health requirements, and better the lives of sex workers by eliminating “Pimps”. Currently, prostitution is a dangerous occupation because it’s dangerous in the sense of medical and health issues for both the prostitutes and their customers.
He or she was consistent throughout the article by describing what happens while captured under the watchful eye of a trafficker. Nevertheless the author could have provided more facts to strengthen the argument. Sex trafficking is increasing which means that the government is not doing enough about the issue. The government designed The Palermo Protocol, an international crime control cooperation treaty which also contains measures to protect trafficked people and prevent trafficking. If the author would have gave facts like mentioning the Palermo Protocol and examples of negative and positive results the article would have been much more effective in not only expanding on the claim but also being less bias and identical to other
In fact, the legalization of prostitution in certain licensed areas would be beneficial for the Gabonese society in terms of fighting against the worst aspects of the trade sex, reducing crime and being beneficial for sex workers and their clients. First of all, prostitution’s legalization would allow the Gabonese government to fight against the worst aspect of the trade sex. In fact, the instauration of licensed premised, like brothels, may be one of the best ways to face worst aspect of prostitution such as child prostitution, trafficking, slavery and the exploitation of vulnerable people. A recent investigation by International Amnesty denounced the entry in the market of prostitution of hundreds and thousands of youth often sold into slavery and sexual abuse on the African continent. In addition, each year, thousands of girls just emerging from adolescence are kidnapped and end up on the sidewalk.
Often prostitution or sex work is alternately described as being the same as trafficking in persons or the cause of trafficking into sex work. Conflating prostitution and trafficking erases the voices of prostitutes thereby, worsening their conditions. The tendency to treat trafficking and prostitution as if they were the same thing has a long and problematic history. The conflation of prostitution with notions of trafficking relatively begins with the industrial revolution in Europe. During the era of ‘white slavery’, the social activists made distinction between two separate classes of sex workers – ‘innocent’ who were forced into selling
Pornography and Prostitution The topic that I have been researching for the past few weeks has been prostitution. It has been very interesting so far. The studies have shown just exactly what the problems with prostitution are. In some of the older books I read, historians were interested mainly in discussing the attitudes toward prostitution but in more recent work the focus has been on prostitutes themselves including their range of alternatives, their conditions of work, their health and life spans, their careers-and interaction between prostitutes and others, such as reformers, clients, or bosses. Studies about men and women, boys, and girls who have been involved in prostitution and/or pornography have revealed a lot.
Prostitution, labeled as a victimless crime, is basically the exchange of money or favors for sexual activity between consenting adults, this type of “victimless” crime is considered illegal in the United States and is punishable by heavy fines or imprisonment of up to ten years, sometimes up to 30 if one party is not of legal age. Prostitution should stay illegal, aside from the basic morality of the situation, prostitution can bring on a whole list of problems for U.S. citizens if allowed to be legalized. To sell ones body in exchange for mony or favors is the choice of an individual, even if the act itself is illegal. But to create a law, in the hopes of protecting citizens, is the job of the government or, when it comes down to it, the majority of the public. The argument that a person has the right to sell their body, for whatever means, and that prostitution should be legalized is not, in fact, very justifiable.
The Legality of Prostitution Christina Chen Student No. 23410095 FMST316/John Cringan May 25, 2011 Prostitution, often referred to as “the world’s oldest profession”, is an issue that has historically faced much public debate and controversy. The controversy of prostitution stems from concerns of morality, human rights, safety, and health. Prostitution can be seen as an oppression and commoditization of women, a moral corruption of society, or a woman’s fundamental right and means to financial support through the sale of her own body (Shannon, 2010). In dealing with prostitution, governments around the world have adopted different legal approaches to the issue (“The Legal Status of Prostitution by Country”, 2010).
I assume crack or cocaine by their demeanor. But why does prostitution have to be a drug driven need for money? If this woman could work as a prostitute legitimately and have the same benefits and right as everyone else, would she be in the same condition she is now? If prostitution were legal this woman could have a chance at living as a regular functioning member of society. People see only the negative sides of prostitution, like how it encourages sex out of wedlock
The Advantages of Legalizing Prostitution: Contrary to popular belief, there are various advantageous to legalizing prostitution that have proven to be effective in various regions of the world. It is often argued that the greatest benefit of legalizing prostitution is the increase in workplace safety for a sex worker. Sex workers in developed and developing nations alike have been known to be victims of various types of abuse and as a result of being outside the realm of the protection of the law, have often little to no rights or any form of protection. The legalization of prostitution allows for prostitution to be regulated and thus provide sex workers with a sense of legitimacy. This sense of legitimacy is important because in many societies, the topic of prostitution is a highly contentious one and very taboo.
The main focus of the research is on legalizing prostitution and its relation with the society of Britain.
