"The only solution to the oppression of women exploited as prostitutes is a political elimination of the very notion of female sexual/ economic transgression (chosen or forced) by granting all women the same rights, liberties and protections against violation as those to which human beings in general...are entitled. All women’s rights are attached to prostitutes’ rights because the whore stigma can disqualify any woman’s claim to legitimacy and throw suspicion on any woman accused of economic and/or sexual initiative." -Pheterson, G. (1996) The Prostitution Prism, Amsterdam University Press, Amsterdam. P.
