Should Sex Work be Legalized in Trinidad and Tobago?

[redmanjp]

if they legalize it ...would it help with stopping trafficked and abuse individuals?

because the girls who coming here ANYWAY to sell their bodies.....

they could legally do it and make the full $$$ they entitled to rather than their kidnapper making $5000-$10,000 a night and them getting a $300 for the night

i mean it would never happen because of religion and fake moral values.......

u assuming their WANT to do that - a lot of them are either tricked or forced into it. this will only make it worse

As with the legalization of illicit drugs, I doubt it would have any impact on trafficking and the crime situation. In any consecutive governments are already misappropriating tax dollars, you want them to have even more to swindle?

[Chimera]

Which illicit drugs have been legalized here?

[daring dragoon]

most girls prostitute them selves for phone card and kfc and that is how the red and ready powder necks get breed and have 2 and 3 child fadda.

the marijuana comparison is a good one. we legalized the demand side of weed (possession), so demand went up, everybody talking about and smoking weed openly now,

but we kept the supply side illegal so only gangs and drug dealers could supply. gangs and drug dealers getting record profits and you have to wonder if that was the point of it all.

back to prostitution, I think we should decriminalize the supply side so women don't have to fear the police or justice system and can get support when they need it. but keep or even increase the punishment for the demand side so johns and joes will think twice about partaking. without demand the industry will fall.

We should utilize the concept like Amsterdam.
Red Light District.

What you're referring to is the Nordic model where the buyers are punished but not the supplier. To tie in this with some of your posts on gender equality in the Jared thread explain to me how on God's green earth one could ever talk about equality when the male is punished but not the female for the same damn crime?

Except that the Netherlands seems to be in the process eliminating the Red Light District.

Primarily, stigma and drug usage.
Red light district concept won't work here. Simply put, trini gyal have plenty shame. U feel dem want to risk the entire neighborhood where they living getting to find out they renting crotch, kakahole and throat as a side hustle?
But licensing to operate privately, with mandatory controls such as rubbers for all clients m, yeah, they go jump at that.
But to do that, there must also be regular disease testing. Plenty will not comply, because a positive disease test will mean licende revocation or suspension, which would result in no more nanny renting = broke sick hooker

All women? Do you even have a mother, wife, daughter?

[pugboy]

business has never been better but them idiots killing out each with greed
imagine if we had border control so it was harder for the gangs to get the weed imported
it would be even more competitive amongst them and the turf wars would be ever worser

wrt to the decriminalization of marijuana
Freeing up the demand side of the equation didn't actually increase demand. It just made people more relaxed and open about their usage, giving the appearance of an increased demand. Because people that don't smoke weed before decriminalization didn't just get up and say ok now i can possess it without problems I go start smoking it. What it did do however is increase the rate of consumption for habitual users. Thats the only form of increase in demand that was created but it gives the appearance of higher demand and we equate that to more people using.

Would similar happen with sex work if it were legalized? Probably. Or more people would engage. Who knows.

30 years ago they could have claimed they getting tricked......

but its been going on too long now for any one to believe they coming here for bartender work and model work.....

i think they know theyre coming as snuggle bunnies but they dont know the full terms of their employment.

if its legalized and have proper brothels.....then they can safely choose where they want to work without abuse and with protection
