  Is the Washington Post a Paper Pimp?

  They need to stop making prostitution illegal. There is nothing wrong with it, and by criminalizing sex workers and clients, you make it harder for them to go to the authorities if they see evidence of abuse.
  
  The problem is that those who are against trafficking, and I am guessing this applies to the Polaris Project, do not DIFFERENTIATE between consensual prostition and trafficking. To many people, all prostitution is a form of slavery or rape. That is simply not true, and leads to policies that harm sex workers.

  Is the Washington Post a Paper Pimp?

  Human Trafficking is not the same thing as Prostitution! When you conflate the two, you end up making matters worse for sex workers and not helping trafficking victims.
  
  There is nothing wrong with advertising your sexual services.

  Stripping Down Proposition K - Why San Francisco Should Decriminalize Prostitution

  It is not necessary to arrest consensual sex workers in order to stop human trafficking.  If the current strategy is so good, why have there been ZERO prosecutions for trafficking in SF in the past two years? Why not try a different anti-trafficking strategy, like the one employed in New Zealand and parts of Australia, where prostitution is decriminalized?
