(26,549 posts)where their methodology is to count all foreigners, regardless of that foreigner's will.
Especially when the results of those studies come up with numbers near or exceeding all of the prostitutes in a country.
But studies versus field work is a diversion. We can't stop prostitution. It will happen. A "war on prostitution" will continue to fail just like the "war on drugs" continues to fail. Changing to a harm reduction strategy (legalize and regulate) would be better than continuing the current, failed system.
Making it illegal for the "Johns" but not the prostitutes, as in the OP, does not give you a harm reduction strategy. It just keeps the prostitutes out of jail. They're still working underground because half of the transaction is still illegal.
