Ruhama report

[Johnboy2]

Although I don't agree with their views on most matters relating to the sex industry I think we need to pay attention to what their report finds in relation to trafficking and organised crime. I must admit I have never paid much attention to this when making an appointment. I know there is no way to guarantee that any lady has not been trafficked however from now on I will only make bookings with ladies who have a message board id. I have no doubt that all these ladies are in the business by choice.

Where do their figures and statistics come from?
They get money from the government so it is in their interest to exaggerate.
Their statistics are not impartial.

We do need to pay attention to trafficking and organized crime, but Ruhama has too much baggage and self-interest to be the organization to do it.

There are advantages to this report in that crime and trafficking in the industry is highlighted and if it makes both escorts and clients more aware it is a good thing and brings it out in open .
Self regulation is way to go with both clients ladies and website playing their part.
The report is good for that reason (apart from their statistics) but they should not be trying to shove their ideas down peoples throats

On what evidence do you base the statement that their statistics are not impartial? Of course they have a different agenda than us punters but that does not invalidate the work they do if it was not for them who would help the victims of trafficking. Don't shoot the messenger read the report

Does anyone really believe that a message board ID is a way of telling whether a girl is trafficked or not. An organization with the wherewithal to rent apartments, provide phone etc will have absolutely no problem setting up ID's.
I don't know of any way of knowing if a girl is trafficked. If you feel the least bit suspicious walk away and report your suspicions.

If somebody can give me a way of knowing I would be delighted to hear it.

Complete rubbish wash hands turn a blind eye whatever .everyone knows there is a problem and nobody is stupid enough to think there is a final and complete solution .everyone should try to do something no matter how small to help et it be booking a lady with a message board id or as Kate said better communication between client and lady .
Every small effort on everyone's part including website should help to offset ruhama claims .
If sweedish model does come in here you can bet there will be a major hullaballo on this website when it will be too late .
