why must we diferentiate between and exploited woman/ person and a prostituted woman/person exploited in the sex industry? is not exploitation exploitation no matter the circumstances? it's this kind of othering that makes violence against us "different". why are there 2 sets of laws for exploitation?one for people exploited in the sex industry and those exploited in other ways? that is the issue of contention. all are supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law...article one.

any person being exploited for any reason should be treated equally. the seperation of laws for exploiting sex workers seperates violence against us as not as important as violence against/exploitation of a non sex working person.

so why say prostituted person?why not say exploited person?
