PUNISHING PROSTITUTION IS THE PROMOTION OF RAPE.

Unemployed poor souls trying to keep their home fires burning to feed their families should have known better to patronise star class hotels.

The oldest profession the the world. Make it legal and collect taxes on income as in many other countries. This will stop crimes against women.

Panchikawatte was previously known only for "Body parts", rather than full "bodies"!

Punishing prostitutes appear to be the obsession of our police force. They will not exist if there was no demand, so if they deserved punishment so should be their clients. The holy men like Gnanasara Thera consistently promote the most heinous crimes but we get on our moral high ground when it comes to prostitution, which in some countries, is considered a service.

If they made prostitution legal in Sri Lanka there is a good chance (or not) for the number of rape cases to reduce. via DM Android App

Prostitution is an easy way to earn a living. Many do it under the guise of various businesses., at various locations. I think high time we legalise prostitution and ensure that all prostitute take a monthly medical check up from a reputed place.Whether affluent or not many are into it, and the males are there to make use of it to relive stress.
