I think there are lots of different ways we can have a role. Ms. Liz Bennett Community Partners Group, As an Individual: Thank you, Patricia. So my question to you, and maybe you can respond to this- Give your house a grand entrance with an open, inviting entryway that warmly welcomes family and friends alike, by Theodore Isaac Rubin page images at HathiTrust Claudie Bougon-Guibert-Conseil national des femmes françaises Geneviève Duché-présidente de lAmicale du Nid, France Ms. Scarlett Lake: Im an advocate for people being able to do their business in a safe and comfortable place of business and not have to stand on the street like a popcorn vendor or something like that. Yet if youre behind closed doors, you also want to have a method of letting people know thats where you are, and that involves solicitation of some sort. You have to let people know youre there in order to do business; you cant just sit home and wait for something to happen. Does it make a difference whether prostitution happens indoors or outdoors? Well, we have some indication that there is slightly less physical violence indoors, but this is relative. The fact that some types of prostitution are associated with more severe harm than others does not mean that the marginally less harmful types of prostitution are not harmful at all. This is a logical fallacy that some people make. 
The 2011 Commission Report had already laid down a marker: the aim of public policy can only be a world without prostitution, it declared, but this ambitious objective must not result in harm to prostitutes. Marisol Touraine, the French Minister for Health and Social Affairs, in her testimony before the National Assembly, tried to dampen some of the abolitionist enthusiasm for the sex purchase ban: The street sex trade was pushed into this area in the belief that having the strolls in an industrial area with no residents would lessen the outcry from the residents, the complaints heard by city hall, and the pressure on the police department. What was forgotten was the fact the sex trade operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and impacts on business. Businesses are moving out of the district, as they can no longer sustain profitability in an area where customers are afraid to visit and employees are afraid to work. In addition, johns pick up sex workers in the light industrial area, and then drive into residential areas to complete their business. This is resulting in complaints from the residents, including day cares, schools, and parents trying to walk their children to and from school. Another fallout is the condoms and needles littering our streets. It is also important to note that these johns face little, if any, repercussions for their activities. Suzanna Finley Equality Now, New York, NY, United States Why Canada Should Not Legalize Buying, Pimping and Profiting Sex trade workers have been beaten and murdered in every part of Canada. Together these investigations cost millions upon millions of dollars. Surely a better use for those dollars would be to give the women themselves better options than to stand on the street corners of our country waiting for the next predator to strike. Lily Munroe-Womens rights advocate and abolitionist, Australia Claudette Bastien-Présidente du Comité daction contre la traite humaine interne et internationale, Infirmière semi-retraitée, Montréal, QC, Canada I want to start with something that really is an urban legend. I didnt witness it myself. I dont know if it was ever reported to the police, but it is said that in Strathcona one day when prostitution was at its peak in the nineties, with prostitutes far above the usual quality for our neighbourhood being visibly trucked in by johns and put on corners, a man in full leather with a motorcycle helmet, with a covering over his face so he could not be identified, parked astride his motorcycle on East Pender Street within a block of Strathcona school, while a prostitute on her knees on the sidewalk gave him a blow job. Needless to say, she was not masked. Erin Neff, Legalized Prostitution: Vegas Brothels Suggested, Las Vegas Review-Journal, 24 octobre 2003 
Whatever the cultic significance of a kedeshah to a follower of the Canaanite religion, the Hebrew Bible is quick to connect the term with a common prostitute. Thus warns followers: None of the daughters of Israel shall be a kedeshah, nor shall any of the sons of Israel be a kadesh. You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute zonah or the wages of a dog keleb into the house of the Lord your God to pay a vow, for both of these are an abomination to the Lord your God.
