Description: Paulina Luisi, a feminist active in the movement to end trafficking in women and children, spoke before the YMCA about the problems caused by regulated prostitution. Luisi begins by explaining why she, as a woman, has been preoccupied by the study of prostitution regulations when the subject, in itself, was so unpleasant. According to Luisi, women, unlike men, were especially sensitive to the degradation of members of their sex. Luisi goes on to give a background of organizations and women involved in the movement against white slavery, to argue against the common description of prostitution as a necessary evil, and to point out the inherent problems of regulated prostitution. This piece would be very useful for historians interested in researching white slavery, the feminist movement in Latin America, or religion in women's international movements.
