The other day I turned on the television and there was an interview with a sex worker. She, and many of her fellow sex workers are petitioning to legalize prostitution in Canada. She suggested that greater regulation and public knowledge would help reduce the number of women who get sucked into prostitiution by pimps, and would give willing women a safer way to sell sex. On top of this, she said that she and the other women involved in the campaign would quite willingly accept the income tax that goes along with any regular job, so the government could benefit from their services too.
