In response to current debate in South Africa, a heartfelt concern for those damaged by, and the comments made about my earlier post titled ‘to legalise or not?’ I will be thinking (and blogging) through what I think could be a holistic Christian approach to the sex industry in South Africa (and hopefully abroad). To whet you appetites (pun not intended!) I leave you with this quote:
“prostitution is survival, not sexual behaviour. The majority of women involved in prostitution do so in order to survive and as a result of previously experienced child sexual abuse, physical and sexual violence, poverty, homelessness, drug dependency and mental health problems.” - Routes Out Annual Report (2002-2003)
The complexity of these issues require rigorous, careful and holistic reflection and thought, this together with my current schedule suggests that this may take longer than I (or my readers would like). For this I apologise in advance.
