Bush Calls on Congress to Pass PEPFAR Reauthorization Bill
For those of you who don't know, PEPFAR is the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, and it includes some exciting funding bits for abstinence only as well as condom programs... It also makes governments of the world pledge to have zero tolerance for "sex trafficking" if they want to receive this funding. Unfortunately for sex workers, ALL prostitutes are lumped into the this group and labeled "victims of sex trafficking" as opposed to women with free will to enter the trade. I have a lot of info on this at home of you'd like to read more or borrow my copy of "Taking the Pledge." Picked it up at the US Social Forum in Atlanta last summer.
Barcelona Police as Pimps to Immigrant Sex Workers, Women go on Fines Payment Strike!
