You are so right !

A couple of months ago I went to a screening of this documentary : http://sexandmoneyfilm.com/ in NYC . It was through the Human Trafficking Awareness Council that I am part of.

So a few minutes into the documentary I got this really weird feeling that I was watching an anti prostitution propaganda film, but I decided to finish watching it and wait to hear the expert opinions from the panelists and the reactions from audience.

Long story short, one of the 'experts' mentioned that he had never encountered a prostitute that choose her profession or who was happy doing it. They did such an amazing job in painting such a horrible picture of us, it made me so upset.

I ♥ what I do. I meet amazing people and now the audience came up with suggestions on how to stop trafficking by going after ALL 'the Johns' , like a witchhunt.

I joined this HTA council because I think sex slavery and human trafficking are horrendous crimes that deserve our attention. I just realized that after seeing this movie, the general public needs to get educated on the difference between forced prostitution/ slavery vs a [business] relationship / transaction between 2 consenting adults.
