As I see it, licensing prostitution is a good option because it

hasadvantages for both prostitutes and society. In the first place,licensed
prostitutes should submit to frequent medical examinations, so it could
reduce sexually transmitted diseases. Secondly, it would allow prostitutes to
work in legal brothels, a more secure environment, because it sets them far
from social cleansing and preventsthemof being abused by their
pimps.Lastly, if the government legalized brothels and prostitutes, it could

Here you have 10 reasons in which the speakers say if they are for or against licensing
prostitution.
Circle
if the reason is for and
if it is against it.
Licensed prostitutes should submit to frequent medical examinations; it can reduce sexually
transmitted diseases.
Prostitution is immoral and degrading to women. No decent society should give it public
approval.
Sex is a commodity offered for sale. The sale of other goods is regulated. The sale of sex should
be no different.
Sex should not be seen as a commodity, divorced from love. Licensing prostitution makes the
statement that society approves of that divide.
ocial cleansing shows how dangerous a prostitute's life can be. Licensing would allow
prostitutes to work in legal brothels, a more secure environment.
The way to stop prostitution is to make buying sex a criminal offence.
There were, there are and there always will be prostitutes. To pretend another
reality is hypocrisy.

Far from relaxing the law, it should be made more severe. Decent citizens shouldnt have to
tolerate the 'red-light districts'
It is stupid to suppose that licensing prostitutes can prevent other women from working as
unlicensed prostitutes. Licensed prostitutes who fail a medical examination would return to the
street. it would not solve the problem.
Laws are confusing. Prostitution is not illegal, but doing it in a public place is. Advertising sexual
services is not illegal, if it has coded language. The confusion puts prostitutes on the
borderline of criminality.

SPAIN ATTACKS SEX GANGS WITH $59 MILLION AID TO PROSTITUTES

Adapted from:
http://www.gobcan.es/educacion/General/pwv/DocsUp/4529_PAU_INGLES_SEPTIEMBRE_10.PDF
Next to Madrids most expensive shopping boulevard, the Calle de Preciados, women, all
dressed in boots and miniskirts, offer having sex to men for some Euros. Spain has more
prostitutes than the Netherlands, Italy, Britain and Greece combined. El Pas and El Mundo
newspapers have named the nation The brothel of Europe. Everyday about 1.5 million people pay
for sex in this country.
According to the Spanish government eighty per cent of Spains 400,000 sex workers come from
places including China, Romania and Latin America and they are forced to prostitute themselves by
gangs. In response, the government put in practice measures to shelter and aid prostitutes who
escape from traffickers.
As well as shelter and protection for a month for those who inform on their traffickers, the
government offered trafficked women aid as part of the 59 million plan. That
includes giving sex workers access to lawyers and translators.
According to Maria Gonzalez Manchon, an advocate of womens rights, the
government measures are not enough because most of these
women have children or families in their home countries, and their
