Questions for 2/21/11

1. In Half the Sky, a intelligence officer along the Nepal-Indian border says, "Prostitution is inevitable. There has always been prostitution in every country. And what's a young man going to do from the time when he turns eighteen until when he gets married at thirty?" What are your thoughts and opinions on this quote?

2.In Prostitution, Marginality and Empowerment: Caribbean Women in the Sex Trade, she notes that while prostitutes are often targeted for HIV and AIDs education programs, their clients are not. This is a major issue in itself but what does this larger focus and criticism of only prostitutes and not their clients imply?

3. When one trafficked Nigerian woman was arrested in Italy for being a drug courier, she told the police that she had been forced into prostitution and then forced to be a drug mule, but they "did not believe her." Why does this continually happen? Is it really that they didn't believe her or that they just refuse to do anything to fix this issue?
