Prostitution

Resources

 The Prostitution Research & Education site has a collection of articles, facts and opinion pieces deconstructing cultural myths about prostitution. The website explains how prostitution is a number of things including: a violation of human rights, rape, a means of maintaining male dominance over women and a racist practice.

RP - Ressources Prostitution is a resource-intensive Wordpress website, with outreach on Facebook and Twitter and pages on Scoop-It and Pinterest. Many of the subject-matter presentations are in French, but there are separate English sections, pages, articles, hyperlinks to crucial studies, news reports, letters, a Contact page, etc.
