It's well known by its supporters that this insane law causes more suffering to Sex Workers than anyone else! They are seen as acceptable collateral damage to get an insane point across (women aren't for sale, well in a Consenting commercial sex setting, nobody actually is for sale, just sexual services for rent!) or to get increased funding for NGOs prominent in TORLER to help 'rescue' fallen women, exactly as happened with the orders of nuns behind Ruhama who ran the Magdelyne Laundries!
Ride them on the beaches!
