Allowable Enterprises

There’s a piece about trafficking & backpage on Salon containing the quote:

“While the aim of FAIR Girls to rescue victims and stop the sex trafficking of young women is laudable, the devotion of significant resources to an ad campaign dedicated to a non-solution is unfortunate.”

To which this comment was posted in response:

“…non-solution…”  I don’t agree that it’s a non-solution. It’s just one that Village Voice Media doesn’t want to make.  If you knew that your enterprise allowed for children to be prostituted over and over again, you might want to consider going as far as shutting it down.

To which I say:

Criminalizing and stigmatizing prostitution IS the “enterprise” which allows for “children to be prostituted over and over again”, so perhaps we had best shut that down.
