In our system, women are considered as victims of a crime. This means that they are entitled to leave prostitution, to receive aid and protection, have access to another form of employment, to an education, etc. This represents an entirely different way of thinking. These women are not criminals. They are in this situation because they were victims of violence and poverty before sinking into prostitution. We must look at this from another angle. These women are really victims of abuse.
