Gender dominates the sex industry

By Chi Hui-jung

Recently, I and likeminded individuals established a group committed to ending sexual exploitation because we believe that the exploiters — human traffickers, pimps, brothel owners and madams — should be punished. We also believe clients should pay the social health costs that their actions may cause and face fines. Lastly, we believe sex workers should not be fined, although that should not be construed as recognizing their rights to work as prostitutes.

Chi Hui-jung is the director of the Garden of Hope Foundation.
