However, some people, an estimated one million, are not doing this, but are selling their bodies in the human sex trade (Lloyd, Girls Like Us, 2011, p. 10). The same 14-year-old girl that should be hanging out with her friends, or doing homework, has just sold her body again to a man soliciting sex from a minor. She gives the money to her pimp, or what she lovingly calls her boyfriend. He is enraged by how little money she brought in that night. He is…

Sex work is defined as the…

Prostitutes are constantly in danger of injuries, death, and sexually transmitted diseases. Even if prostitution is legalized the danger will still exist. The danger of prostitution can’t be removed, because the act of prostitution is…
