In
order to understand prostitution,
it is necessary to understand:
- lethal
gender inequality
- incest
and other childhood sexual assault
- poverty
and homelessness
- the
ways in which racism and colonialism are
inextricably connected with sexism in prostitution
- domestic
violence, including rape
- posttraumatic
stress disorder, depression, mood and dissociative
disorders as consequences of prostitution
- drug
and alcohol addiction
- the
fact that prostitution is a global business
which involves interstate and inter-country
trafficking as a necessary part of its profitable
operation
- in
nondominant states - the ways in which economic
development programs erode traditional ways
of living
- the
need for culturally-relevant treatment
- the
ways in which diverse cultures normalize
and promote prostitution
- stripping,
exotic dancing, nude dancing, table dancing,
phone sex, trafficking, child and adult pornography,
lap dancing, massage brothels, and peep shows
as prostitution
