I read yesterday that plans to help rehabilitate prostitutes and remove the term 'common prostitute' from legislation are being scrapped so the government can concentrate on avoiding any more prison worker strikes.
This is evidence yet again that women's rights and protection are low down on the governments list of priorities.
The damage prostitution does to women is one of the biggest social problems society faces along with domestic abuse. Because these issues effect women, thousands of women, the government aren't as bothered to try to find solutions.
While they dither about women are everyday being raped for money, beaten and abused, and foreign women, some just girls, are being trafficked into prostitution.
What would it take for the government to stand up and do something? why are women still, as ever, treated as second class citizens?
