In Germany, which you mention, brothell owners tend to come up before the courts with surprising regularity, and are shown to have forced workers in their ranks. These tend to be younger women (above legal age at least, thank heavens) who have been promised work in their Eastern countries, and are contracted to pay for their transport to the West.<BR/><BR/>These contracts cannot be paid off, because the interest alone doesn't allow the capital to be reduced. The young women are brought over to Germany, France, Spain and so on, and housed in a brothell where they are held, against their will, obviously, and used. They have no passports, are illegally in the country and have literally no hope.<BR/><BR/>Of course, with the right controls ...<BR/><BR/>PiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-59889160086928952792007-12-23T11:52:00.000+00:002007-12-23T11:52:00.000+00:00Agreed.Agreed.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-59517013814370748882007-12-23T11:50:00.000+00:002007-12-23T11:50:00.000+00:00It's just bizarre!

It strikes me as a way to be all 'right on' and act as though they're dealing with a problem they actually have no idea how to even start with. <BR/>Sure, no-one likes to think about prostitution, but in reality many women are somehow involved these days. The problems with the benefits system, student debt etc have driven many women to massage parlours or escorting, partly I would suggest because many of the cash in hand jobs have now gone since minimum wage. The reasons are so varied, but making it illegal as you say simply put the burden on to the women. It's ridiculous.
