I do believe, as did Josephine Butler, that the prostitution is very close to the slavery system. And this leads, as we will see, to the implementation of regulation policies, and the transformation of those billions of dirty dollars into clean money. To make the Mafia respectable through the recognition of the work of the trader in sex, women's bodies and human bodies. This very elaborate system, like other systems of domination, is mainly based on the silence of the victims, the women in prostitution, and the denial of the fact that this system is violence against women. What we define as sexuality should also be questioned.
Money is one of the tools that silences the victims.
The Chilean psychiatrist Jorge Barudy says that prostitution is to society what incest is to the family, the same walls of silence. So before entering in the actual situation, I would like to give the voice of a survivor of prostitution. The word survival defines the extremity of the situation of somebody who has lived in this murderous system. It recognizes the strength against domination. It recognizes the element of life, it helps the person to empower herself and ask for justice.
