6. I am for wrap-around social services, and a safety net that protects women and families.

I feel that stronger punishments for the pimps, not for the girls, would help with the trafficking.

If this were not a rewarding avenue for exploiting women, it would not be pursued in the same way by the pimps.

I am anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist, and feel that if these root causes of inequality were addressed, then that prostitution as a "job" would tend to die out.

Do you feel that poverty has cultural causes? I don't understand that avenue of questioning. Could you elaborate?

I don't see how legalizing prostitution helped with any of the issues that you raise.
