If prostitution is legalised and licensed brothels with condoms established, would the current rampant sexual abuse of very young girls by adult men come to an end in many societies? Registered, licensed sex workers who get tested often, pay taxes and earn pension. #worldaidsday

This, my friends, is a question that every society struggles and ponders with. Important to note, is that many societies have and are experimenting with various arrangements with varying levels of success as they attempt to address a very emotive issue captured in many studies.

As you spend some time on my Timeline, feel at home. You are in a space where we invest some time to delve into uncomfortable issues that plague our world. Yes, those issues that people run away from because of the heat they emit. Spit that heat here but suggest a solution too.
