Canada, we are heading down a very slippery slope regarding prostitution laws (see the article below specifically about Ontario and also referring to B.C.). I was able to share with a YWCA group the other day and I talked about this very issue. Some women in Canada are fighting for prostitution to become legal, saying that it offers them protection. Well, you might feel more protected, but the little girls won't. "WHAT?!?" Let me explain. In countries where prostitution is legal, what it does is lower the age of the girls (very literally girls when we are talking 8, 10 years old) that men look for to have sex with (aka rape). A large part of soliciting a prostitute for a man is the hunt. "If it's legal with a woman, where's the fun in that?! - let's go for an underage girl because there's more risk and thrill involved since it's illegal." There is no room in the laws that govern Canada to make prostitution legal, if only to protect those most vulnerable in our society - our children.
