There is a growing debate around the world on the issue of prostitution. For most countires in Europe prostituion is legalized but from where i come from in Liberia it is a crime. There are people advocating in every country that consider prostituion a crime to legalized it. The debate is on is legalizing prostitution in the right direction?

Woman resort to prostitution out of a sense of destitution to feed herself or forced into it by male chauvinistic society, in her state of helplessness (eg. a widowed woman or an orphan girl, I have seen such women).
She needs to be supported to come out of this mess in which she is considered only as an instrument of pleasure rather than a temple of love.
And of course, prostitution by a married woman or a man is a crime, since they have legally given partners to satisfy their sex urges. Searching for pleasure elsewhere is a depravity which needs to be punished.
If the indulging members are unmarried, they should be married off early and be helped to not commit this crap again.
By legalizing this crime as a profession, giving licenses and timings, governments are becoming partners in this crime and are exploiting the essence of women.

i think prostitution is the ugliest thing in a society which shows the mentality and living style of that society. Prostitution is in no way something to be legalized.
Some countries do legalize it because of economy. Here is south africa they are going to legalize prostitution for the FIFA World Cup.
I guess it is a shame for a country to do so, which clearly states the crime and disorder which will follow it.

I don't think that prostitues should be married off early to prevent the problem. Would it really prevent it whether the person is married or not?
Once becoming a prostitute, it holds as a way of life. I lived in an area where heavy drug use was found in every corner, and prostitutes were often the result.
Prostitution is bad as it is, but legalizing it will only make it worse by telling women that it is okay. Prostitution is dangerous in every aspect, and measures should be taken to decrease the problem.

Is Prostitution the real problem?

Prostitution is a terrible thing for the women or men, who sell their bodies.
However, to condemn it as a crime does not help those people - quite the opposite is the case. The question is: Do people, who prostitute themselves, have any other option, see any other way to survive? I think there is only one answer to that question: No!
Only very small percentage of people does do prostitution because they think it is a good idea and an easy way to make money.
Most prostitutes are in some way forced to sell themselves, be it drugs (results in a high need for money), any kind of slavery or simply the need to make money to survive. If you look at the problem from the point of view of the prostitute you have to think again about who is the victim and who is the criminal.
As long as prostitution is forbidden by law the people, who have to do it are (if caught) punished for doing something the could not help doing.
Of course there are people who exploit those women and men that seel their bodies. In my opinion those are the people who should be punished not the prostitutes.

I can understand the viewpoint of those who think it should be legalized and subjected to government controls to make everything safer, but I don't agree. First, because it's a moral issue and sets a poor example for our children as well as other countries. Second, because governments really aren't that good at regulating things. I wouldn't feel comfortable associating myself with my country if they say something like that is now 'OK' - because to a lot of people, 'OK' and 'legal' mean the same thing. I say prosecute johns and pimps, and subsidize women's shelters. Give them support; give them options.

I want to agree that prostitution from whatever prospective is not right but let face it exist and it is widely practiced all over the world. What should we do or our government do some how to officially allow prostitution to better protect people (women/man)involve because it is their right to practiced what they want to do. Not protecting will be going against their right.

I don't agree. I believe every relationship is a personal choice. There should be no government involved. They have no business in a bedroom. I don't think its crime for having the relationship with prostitution. Let me ask you question. Do you think government should control human sex desire which violate human rights ?

I do not belive that the Gov should legalize Prostition
It is not just women, who are prostites
Men, and now BOY's are a growing #
It is the most sad, and demoriaizing practise that their is.
Even those who think it is cool to start with, end up feeling used
it is always the same way
But Child Sex is growing, and the leagaliaztion of Sex as a Busness is one step closer to allowing this
the age limit goes down all the time
as kids are acting like grown ups with make up , cloths and the temptation of money
For What!!!
So someone else can get off on them
It is practis, that has been around since the beging of time.
Which means there have always been Desperate People, in Desperate TIMES
And Desperate, is no way to move forward in life.
To the Future
Love
E

Whoa. I understand your concern. That why I support an regulation for legalized prostitution which similar to tobacco and alcohol regulations. I believe legalized prostitution as long as the couple are consent adults. Tell me what's wrong with regulation ?

to Legalize, would be to regulate and give concernt.
I could not think this would lead to anywhere good.
But
If you remove it from being a crime, withou the governmets of all countrys making forms and regulations to cover this topic, they could not be misused by the Gov or General public
Then you could at least have those who are fallen to such hardened times, then look out after themselves, as long as they were Adults.
But as always, it is the used, that do not come out on top.
To a Healthy Future

these are only my opions, just thought I would pass them on.
Freedom, also means the Freedom to Starve, as some people put it.
