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 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.
