It is in favor of laws like Sweden has: only criminalizing the john, not the prostitute. See here: http://www.justicewomen.com/cj_sweden.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ PORNOGRAPHY DRIVES INTERNATIONAL SEX TRAFFICKING: ------------------------------------------------------------------ "Pornography is a marketing device for sex trafficking: It normalizes degradation & violence as acceptable and even inevitable parts of sex, and uses the bodies of real women & children as objects. The difference between pornography & erotica is clear in the roots of the words themselves -- porne means female slaves, eros means love -- so pornography, like rape, is about violence & domination, not sex. Millions of lives depend on our ability to separate pornography from erotica, and to disentangle violence from sexuality." Gloria Steinem, 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------ "The quantity of & access to pornography has grown exponentially since the 1980's alongside the growth of the video cassette/DVD & then the Internet industries, while the content has become increasingly violent, degrading, & harmful to participants and viewers. Moreover, sex trafficking, which is closely related to pornography, is now widely acknowledged as a significant international problem. One cannot understand the dynamics of demand without careful attention to both prostitution & pornography. Activists must confront pornography & prostitution in any effort to attack sex trafficking." ~~~~ "Pornography: Driving the Demand in International Sex Trafficking", 2007. http://tinyurl.com/yooaom Contents: http://www.captivedaughters.org/TOC.html For more information about the connections between pornography and sex trafficking, please visit the AntiPornography.org page about this issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ******** DISCLAIMER ************ ------------------------------------------------------------------ AntiPornography.org and this channel are not faith-based or religious.
