        when is well with the citizens, such crime will be forgotten by citizens. Did u hear of trafficking in develop countries.

        Women "face solicitation charges," they're not prostitutes. Change sexist language. When did you ever hear a judge say "bring in the thief?"

        Rutgers Law notes prostitution (which is mostly female) is the ONLY crime where media & courts identify a PERSON as a CRIME #PeopleNotCrimes

        As was pointed out in a Rutgers Law School Forum, women are not "prostitutes," they're women facing charges, same as all would say of men.

        But who is consuming the commodities? If there is no market for it, it can not flourish. Why not fight the patronisers!
