And maybe some more.

I believe that giving men the right to buy a woman, is the same as giving pimps the right to sell them.

A majority of our society, was not be able yet to overpass the “clichés” era about prostitution:

- “Women can control their sexual urges. Men don’t!”. Why?

- “No prostitution means more rapes”. What a lie.

- “Prostitution is a necessary evil”. Killing is also a necessary evil?

- “Prostitution is better than other things.” That does not makes it good.

- “Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world.” No, prostitution is the oldest oppression against

women in the world!

Given all what I have been describing, can we talk about prostitution as a “free choice”? How much more

time will society keep its eyes closed to the new form of slavery just next door?

For me, is time to say: no more slavery! No more!
