PROSTITUTION is one of the worst forms of human exploitation and, although some men and boys are exploited in this way, it remains the case that the vast majority of those trapped in the sex trade are women and girls.
The existence of prostitution is not a form of work, it is a social ill and research has consistently shown that prostitution increases in societies that have high levels of inequality and where economies are unstable.
Existing TUC policy affirms that prostitution is inherently exploitative. This would echo the views of most workers who instinctively hate and fear the idea of themselves or their families being forced into prostitution via economic necessity.
