There is a huge difference between escorting, and human trafficking. But neither should be allowed on the street, especially near schools.

[@gopnik9967]

there is not. Read some books on human trafficking. Majority of escorts are coerced into the position, and kept down in that position by pimps and other escorts. It is human trafficking.

Prostitution is not always human trafficking. sometimes it is a business.

True, prostitution is legal and protected by the Constitution where I live. I've had some enlightening conversations with a few professionals that were rather eye opening.

*How DARE you say a woman's femininity has no value?!?! Why should laws created by old men demand that it has no value or worth? It's HER body, HER CHOICE!*

[@RoseNZieg]

if it's "her" choice, why in many cases are there pimps who lord over the women?

[@j.thomas7128]

@@RoseNZieg I thought the answer was OBVIOUS! You'd have to ask HER why. There are a ton of women that don't have pimps. Maybe you should ask them too!
