	Sisyphe.org - Ten Reasons for Not Legalizing Prostitution
		The dimensions of trafficking for purposes of prostitution
		In the Netherlands, legalization amounts to sanctioning all aspects of the sex industry : the women themselves, the so-called "clients," and the pimps who, under the regime of legalization, are transformed into third party businessmen and legitimate sexual entrepreneurs.
		As in the Netherlands, NGOs report that most of the foreign women have been trafficked into the country since it is almost impossible for poor women to facilitate their own migration, underwrite the costs of travel and travel documents, and set themselves up in "business" without outside help.

	Redefining Prostitution as Sex Work on the International Agenda
		Prostitutes are generally regarded as a social category, as women who do not adhere to sexual and other behavioural norms; pitied or despised, they are excluded from mainstream society, their lowly and marginal position analogous to that of a low caste or minority ethnic group.
		The definitions were all variations on the themes of: prostitution, recruitment into prostitution, the issue of coercion and the validity of consent, and movement across frontiers.
		Prostitution only persists through the efforts of procurers or pimps, the 'third parties,' who induce a woman into prostitution, openly or by means of deceit and coercion, to extort her earnings from her.

		While gedogen in the Netherlands is a way to regulate public impotence, the British have taken their entire society to task—abolishing laws, civil servants, and civilized means of public transport.
		Complaints about prostitution have forced local authorities in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and other cities to limit it to narrowly defined zones of gedogen: small bits of no man's land where official tolerance is barely tolerated by the locals.
