Not Prostitutes but Sex Workers
Enact legislation to remove the stigma of the description "prostitute", and replace it with "sex worker".
Why is this important?
The terms "prostitute", "whore" and "hooker", to name but a few, are out-dated and judgemental. Sexual services are, and have for millennia, been used for by a wide spectrum of people, from those in the highest echelons of society to the most "ordinary" person. The people who provide sexual services have the right to be respected and recognised, and not judged. They should be universally known as "sex workers" to reflect what they really do.
