Leaders in Germany & Japan Speak Out Against Legalized Prostitution

By:

Government leaders in Germany and Japan have spoken out boldly against legalizing prostitution. In some instances, they’ve even gone as far as to say that prostitution needs to be completely eradicated! Dani and Haley take a closer look at these stories from around the world and talk about what it means globally as well as here in the United States. There are consequences of legalizing prostitution that we’ve seen within our own country – specifically in Nevada. Survivors have united in support of Jane Doe, a Nevada sex trafficking survivor who was sex trafficked in legal brothel prostitution in Nevada for years.
