Pros And Cons Of Legalizing Prostitution

I strongly believe that a lack of education is a strong contributing factor to the increasing statistics of Human Trafficking. Not only do the Victims and Vulnerable people need to be educated but also those of corporate bodies and entities, boarder security, police officers and teachers. However, there is also a high level of corruption within the government and policing agencies when it comes to Human Trafficking. After all it is all about making a big sum of money, which to some people will not stop at any measures to ensure they have an extra cent in their pocket.

Although Human trafficking is an objectionable trade we need to realise that there are individuals that go into the trade knowing full well what they are going to get themselves …show more content…

Yet, I strongly disagree with the idea of legalising prostitution as a way to reduce Human trafficking. Yes, it will make the idea of prostitution legal but that is not to say that smuggling, kidnapping and blackmailing individuals into the trade won’t occur. I believe that Human Trafficking will never be able to be fully ‘eradicated’ as there is always going to be someone who disagrees with the law and does not want to conform with the rules. I believe that legalising prostitution will only add to the numbers who use the trade as it is only when laws and penalties start to be put in place that the epidemic slowly begins to reduce. We see people like ‘Adam’ who don’t disagree to the idea of prostitution, however, will turn away from a shady bar if he believes that the prostitutes are in fact victims of human trafficking. I also believe that if Prostitution is to become legal then those victims who are in fact being trafficked it will become harder for them to get out of the trade as the policing agencies will have very little to go on to arrest the ‘John’s’ of our society as what they are doing Is legal. I believe that this would in fact enhance the statistics and prevalence of Human Trafficking and therefore would not be a strong enough option or plan to eradicate human

In Patty Kelly’s compelling article, entitled ‘Enough Already, It’s Time We Decriminalize Prostitution’, she shows us the impact and effects that prostitution has on society and women of the profession today. While the article is very eye opening and effectively shows the reader an inside view of the issue, Kelly neglects to confidently present factual, confidently sourced evidence and presents the audience with too many personal anecdotes, resulting in a strong pathos effect on the article. Subsequently, leaving the reader uncertain about the accuracy and bias of each argument. Without proper sourcing, the information Kelly includes in her article is not credible.

An estimate made in said that if prostitution became legal that the rape rate would decrease by 25% or roughly 25,000 rapes a year, which is a lot and would definitely have a major impact. The other side of the argument says that prostitution should be illegal because it is not the woman's choice, that they are involved in human trafficking or that their pimp is forcing them, or that they just need the money, and that none of that is the prostitutes choice, but what's wrong with that is that they do have a choice, waking up and getting out of bed every day is a choice, if you don’t want to do something, you don't have too, nobody can make you. Also, critics say legalizing it will not prevent rape, human trafficking of women and underage kids will still happen, nothing will stop that. The flaw in that statement is that rape and prostitution are two different things, prostitution is selling you for money and rape is against

I find that prostitution as a whole is currently not possible with the models that we have now. There is just too much corruption, deceit, and lies, that completely ruin the whole process of making prostitution a safe and healthy profession. So in conclusion, I believe that prostitution should not be legalized as of now. I do think that with more education and regulation, a more well developed model of prostitution could come to fruition and grace the women, and men for that matter, who do find that prostitution is the profession that they chose to do in life, and it could ultimately make prostitution a safe and healthy form of sex

Some women do not feel as though they have another option for a career path, so they choose prostitution. Although many people claim that condoning prostitution could mean that they are condoning the degradation of women, this is not true. These women are choosing to be prostitutes as their profession, and they want the same respect as other career paths. Supporters want prostitution to be legalized, as well as regulated by police to prevent human trafficking, monitored by physicians for STDs, and allowed to be reported for any violent crimes against women in that work force. By doing this, a new career for both men and women can become available while bettering the community, but also by increasing the tax revenue.

Human trafficking has subcategories which most people don’t realize because most are uninformed. Children, sex and forced labor are all a part of what is labeled ‘human trafficking’. The scary part of this issue is how easy it is for people to get ‘picked up’ and disappear with no one realizing that they are gone and able to do anything about it. Many sex traffickers target poverty stricken areas with communities that are hurting because they know that these girls or women are more vulnerable.

Prostitution is slavery Prostitution is selling one’s body for sexual relations. There is a desire from the United States government to see prostitution become legalized but this would truly be a detrimental act because prostitution is a form of slavery. Prostitution violates the fundamental human rights given to every citizen in America. The practice of sexually exploiting women should not be legalized because, prostitution promotes sexual inequality, prostitution is violent, and prostitution is interconnected to human trafficking. Legalizing prostitution only plays on the idea of men having the power to buy and sell women at their leisure.

Firstly, legalization of prostitution leads to the impression that it is socially acceptable which further encourages the recruitment of prostitutes. Although it seems like legalizing prostitution may actually control and reduce the number of prostitutes, the case is actually the opposite. The core idea of legalizing prostitution is to impose a sin tax on prostitution to discourage its continuity and also to boost the country’s economy. However, if we think about it practically, those who are conducting illegal prostitution at present will never pay the taxes once they are legalized. So, there is no outcome of such action.
