Dear Colleague,

Prostituted women around the world are calling for the abolition of prostitution and the prosecution of those who promote the crime. Rebecca Oas, Ph.D. reports [[link removed]] that UN Women, apparently swayed by a few big donor countries from Europe who say it's decent women's work, says it will stay “neutral.” Shame!

Spread the world.

Yours sincerely,

Susan Yoshihara, Ph.D.
