The United States has released its yearly global report on human trafficking what it calls modern slavery.
It contains some strong words on New Zealand’s legalised prostitution system.
But what is more alarming is that we have become a ‘destination country’ for the trafficking of women for sex from Malaysia, Hong Kong and China.
Someone who knows this only too well is Lyn Mayson from ECPAT, a group which tries to eliminate child prostitution, child pornography and the trafficking of children for sexual purposes.

i hope many of thoose that support the legalisation of prostitution take the time out to watch that clip from Lyn Mason and look at the statistics avaliable and case studies of the effect prostitution has had on the sex trafficking industry. Many will argue that prostittuion like any industry is based in the rules of supply and demand but might we consider that when you condone something you actually increase the interest and demand of it.do you think sometimes we need to think of the concequences of our will and the price some will pay so we can enjoy a paricular degree of freedom?
