Collateral damage?
If an 18 year old girl consents to prostitute herself, she isn't a victim of a "crime of prostitution". But if she was kidnapped as a child from her home country and traffiked to become a prostitute, she is considered a victim of the "industry of prostitution".
None of the crimes against her were prostitution. But the crimes against her were committed in the name of prostitution.
- heylefty 12y agoA victim of human trafficking is not a victim of prostitution. Nor is such victimization any sort of collateral damage, it is direct. Furthermore, the legalization of prostitution will reduce human trafficking (and therefore victimization by it) by providing a safer and higher quality alternative in any and all cases.
