Prostitution

 

Years ago, I met a very-respected accountant, who was asked by someone to try to help a prostitute. The outcome was that he got her business legal as "Office Services", she started paying tax and was able to buy a small house from where to work discretely. She wasn't the only one he helped.

His approach is right for many who work the streets, as it removes them from pimps and violence, and gets them into the mainstream system, where they contribute to society. Several of the ladies he helped ended up in responsible jobs.

The real problem is prostitutes who are abusing drugs, alcohol and other substances. But are these any less in need of help of any other person with this problem. Cutting the drug menace is something that will benefit everyone.
