Smith and those like her do not care about either the 'children' or the adult women in sex work. Their concern is only for their ideological crusade against consenting adult commercial sex. They don't care about the violence that sex workers experience- AT THE HANDS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS, or the children who are sexually exploited by the majority of predators- people whom the child knows and trusts.
The World Health Organization recently reported that 33% of all women worldwide experience violence against them - the majority of that violence is at the hands of their spouse or significant other. When one out of three women around the world is the victim of domestic violence and yet no one suggests that as a way to combat that violence, we ban marriage or other personal relationships- what are we to think when they use the 'violence' sex workers experience to continue to ban our work, arrest out non violent, non abusive clients, employers and associates? And no, we do not want to ban marriage. We want the hypocrisy of these individuals exposed for what it is... bigotry. The worst form of bigotry is that which is presented as concern for the target of the bigotry.
