Isn it just a personal choice that women make when they get involved in prostitution?
Most women enter prostitution because of lack of choice and many are coerced by pimps or traffickers: it is the men who buy sex who are exercising free choice. It is well documented that the vast majority of women in prostitution are poor, homeless and have already suffered violence and abuse throughout their life. 70% of those involved in street prostitution have a history of local authority care. Nearly half report a history of childhood sexual abuse.
