prostitutes are victims of organized crime

Prostitution of both / all genders is a legal profession over
here, there is only a restriction that jobless people are not
forced to accept offers in this profession.  So far for the
cultural differences, it's tricky (and Hamburg was a French
town for some years, less than 200 years ago ;-)  Bye, Frank

That's no contradiction. Quite a few prostitutes work under the
"control" of panders (Zuhälter in German) and that's at least some
grey zone of exploitation. Quite a few prostitutes were "traded" from
poor countries and exploited, being blackmailed on grounds of their
illegal status in e.g. Germany.

Most prostitutes are also sexual abuse victims.

Kind regards,

Hannah - and now perhaps for some more on-topic discussion again,
even though, sorry, I don't invest that much energy here?
