You probably know more about prostitution in Tiajuana than I do, but in most Mexican cities, prostitution is licensed.Nope. All I know is the scene in Japan from living in Tokyo. Kabukicho had huge problems with white slavery. Pimps would offer jobs to/kidnap eastern european girls, beat/rape them into submission, steal their passport and turn them loose.
They not street walkers with pimps, but are confined to a red-light district and work in clubs or to rented cribs. They work for the ‘house’ which is usually a wealthy owner who receives a percentage of their fees for their use of the room and for their board.
But perhaps your experience with Tiajuana prostitution is different.
These guys are either naive or willfully obtuse. Probably the vast majority of slavery that is going on in the world today is sexual slavery ranging from kidnap to parents selling their children. And for those who aren’t literal slaves, yeah I guess they’ve got a choice. Prostitution and food or no prostitution and no food.
It’s a noble profession, really when you think about it, and the world’s oldest.
