  Are you talking about the recent documentaries on Foxtel lately regarding Human Trafficing????? My daughter and I just watched Our America with Lisa Ling, The world of sex traffic girls. Some of these girls had no choice in this show and the manipulation the pimps had over them is quite abusive. I highly doubt the men who have sex with then ever think about these girls and the abusive circumstances they are in. Sometimes these young ladies have no choice, it's all they got cause they can't go home. I believe most of the young girls are run and hit the streets because of the abuse they have got from their family home. It does not surprise me the stats you posted. Broken down families, low income, poverty stricken environments would have a lot to do with it I think? Where on the other hand high end escorts I think choose to do escorting as it may pay their way through uni, support their families etc etc?? Just a guess. Foxy

  I also believe those Mothers who force their teenage daughters into prostitution is not OK. However if the mother is into prostitution and that is all she knows, she is role-modeling to her daughter that it is OK. It's passed down from generation to generation. It's young teenage girls that are a lot of money, it's what clients want and they will pay top dollar for young girls. Foxy

  They're trying to link the breakdown of the traditional family unit to prostitution and lack of education.......I wonder who paid for this study??

  It would be interesting to see the stats for countries when prostitution is legalized (and also across varying degrees of legalization e.g. anything goes vs only in brothels).

  intellectually I don't have any problem with mothers who are prostitutes and that this may influence the daughter - since I don't have any problem with people choosing to do whatever line of work they want. I _do_ have a problem with forcing people to do something against their will, particularly the human slavery aspect.

  Then absolutely hammer the human traffickers and pimps with life sentences or even the death penalty. (I have no tolerance for the types who abuse the defenceless). There is also a definite link between drug use and prostitution, female addicts get in debt with their dealers and then a pimp pays the debt, thus requiring the woman to pay back the debt but due to their drug use the debt is never paid.

  Nuffin against prostitution aside from the idea that it is all too often used to exploit and abuse those who are not able to fend for themselves. Women and children being high among that number. . Law officers on all levels have all too often been found to have been deeply involved and responsible for that exploitation. Even if it just be on the level that they turn a 'blind eye'. Something that is much easier to make happen without, 'a man', around the house. . The law is all too often not interested in improving the situation, but rather 'controlling' it? :'-(

  Is there a correlation between no social security system and young girls being trafficked or forced into sex work? The USA doesn't have much of a social security system with financial support only being available for short period of time (less than 12 months in most states). So what are the consequences of that lack of support? Many of the countries that girls are trafficked from have no social security system. Lets try and keep ours intact so children in Australia are not forced into prostitution. And next time people want to bitch about those bloody sole parents, remind them that sole parent pensions could be keeping Aussie kids out of sexual slavery.

  Prostitution is big big money.Men use mostly prostitutes and men are mostly in Government.....?????? Me think???? We all know its a good profession and an old one....again men use it mostly and men make the "rules"Why is it not legal????Why is it not a business, ok a business where your body is traded in and used" and treated like a business? I say, because it would reduce the handlers income, and as long as it is a "dirty Business" all sorts of men or women have there hands in the pot, and don't care about the"slaves" We cant stop prostitution, as we cant stop drug use, why not legalize it....I tell you why, it wouldn't make enough money and it would be more transparent.....and that's not in the interest of the shadow figures in this trade. There is so much nastiness in our human existence it turns your stomach.

  Now this is what I like to read and get my head thinkingon it but it will be a topic with no answers.They should find ways to keep kids in school but this stat has a missing link and that is unemployment as this alsomakes people turn to prostitution.

  Yes I believe the law enforcement professionals do get jaded. Not only in this area, also regarding rape where there is still a lot of distrust and victim blaming going on. There is a great senior officer in Melbourne who is trying to change this mindset with younger officers. I can't answer the next question as I've never been to one. My sister has been a drug addict and prostitute for decades and doesn't hide either from her daughter. Thankfully my niece has a great head on her shoulders and wont model her behaviour. Even worse a lot of drug addicts will give paedophile dealers their very young children in exchange for junk. Breaks my heart.

  Quoting 'S_OnTheLoose' It would be interesting to see the stats for countries when prostitution is legalized (and also across varying degrees of legalization e.g. anything goes vs only in brothels). I saw on TV (so it must be right) that Germany is now the sex centre of the world, as prostitution is legal there. The largest brothel has 16 floors and services 800 men a night... lol (that's nothing ~ you and I could work half of 'em over on a quiet night :p). People are even travelling form Amsterdam to get into it, lol. The storyline was that legalisation has not made life any better at all for prostitutes as more and more women form Eastern Europe head to work in Germany.... Of course, I would have to see this for myself to accept the legitimacy of the story... but there you have it. HugsGazpacho

  50% - 80% are high school dropouts? That's obviously some kind of a guess. I mean, of the people surveyed was it 50% or was it 80%... lol... or was no sample survey conducted at all.. and this is all just some bible bashing nonsense trying to gain support for an argument regarding the evils of sex? If an industry is legalised, then it needs enforceable and acceptable workplace conditions and people willing to review and enforce those conditions. It's not enough just to say.. oh yeah... "prostitution is legal now." Here in Sydney you often hear of women working their way through university... I figure that, if you need to earn $100 to pay your rent this week, you ought be able to do so using all your skills and abilities... and as efficiently as possible. As long as you're not being put in harm's way. Even better if you enjoy your work. A lot of people may have no other way of ever making that kind of money. Not everyone is an academic. Good luck to them, I say. I'm not buying into the fatherless home nonsense. HugsGazpacho

  That prostitutes mainly come from low income families..... Yes there is a percentage and if you take into consideration average income stats, then again yes it can be 'stacked' very conveniently........ However, you will find that a high percentage of prostitutes do also come from drug users and we all know that this affects all walks of life.......... To feed their habits they turn to prostitution, yes men and women...... In working with street kids, it always amazed me how talented, creative and yes intelligent some of these teenagers were, however circumstances would take over. Self worth was usually the first thing to be eroded....... On the separate issue of child trafficking, it is a reality that there are some people (fathers and mothers, uncles and aunts etc) who would force their children into either the sex industry or sex slavery for to many reasons. However, please also note how easy it is to go to a third world country, fake a passport and bring these children into the country specifically for this use and then we have the cases where the pregnant mother is convinced adoption is the way to go and hand over their newborn who will be brought up in a home where the couple keep them specifically until a certain age whereupon the highest bidder will then have that child for use........ I am horrified that the channel showing the SuperBowl felt that a 30 second commercial highlighting this industry did not portray the feel of the game........ Shame on whoring themselves out for money!!!
