That summit was absolutely wonderful, and I think you introduced the beginning of it, and thank you so much.
I think someone who stood out was Dr. Ingeborg Kraus. I would recommend that everybody here look her up. She's a German psychotrauma therapist globally. She's the one who prints out the German brothel menu. She has started an organization called Scientists for a World without Prostitution. I would recommend looking at her research. She really addresses what's going on in Germany, and if you want to see what full decriminalization or legalization of prostitution looks like, just go to Germany.
I would say out of everything I heard at the summit, her presentation was absolutely compelling. She made the point that every day in Germany, 1.2 million men buy sex. It's unbelievable that 250,000 to 400,000 women are prostituted in Germany. She then compared that to Sweden, which has the same equality model of law that we have here in Canada, and there are fewer than 1,000 women who are prostituted. That is absolutely remarkable.
I would say that Dr. Kraus was exceptional.
