It says she was “ex-prostituted” not “ex-prostitute” That kinda implies she was prostituted out by someone else. This same article also talks of a “brothel” so I’m assuming it applies to this woman. Now days women who are in brothels are held against their will as sex slaves. This is not the image of “Gunsmoke” with Miss Kitty running the show. This is a place where women are caged like animals and used only for sex.
You missed my point.
Who gets the money and who makes the decision is irrelevant as to whether or not the person is a prostitute. What is germain is that the recipient of the sex is paying something to somebody. There is a commercial component.
Slaves in a coal mine are still miners even though they are also slaves.
People being sold for sex by someone else are both prostitutes and slaves at the same time.
There is no component of the term “prostitute” which indicates personal volition on the part of the person in question, anymore than with the term “miner.”
This is important to remember, because people rescued from a pimp or a filthy brothel are still likely to need the same sort of help staying out of the sex trades in the future that a freelancer who entered the trade as an adult
would need. There is a kind of damage that needs to be aknowledged.
Simply getting them out of where they are is not enough.
This program in the Sarasota / Bradenton area of west Florida is an example of the sort of thing that is needed.

I think that you need to come to Nevada and talk to the women who work in the state licensed brothels.
