SWEAT - Advocacy and Human Rights Defence Manager

Advocacy and Human Rights Defence Manager? Are you advocating on behalf of prostitution or on behalf of the workers???

Yes, ALL people have rights. No, prostitution should not be legalised!

Are you selling our women and children into slavery and degradation? What women would earn her money on her back if she had a viable option that provided enough money in another way? Really?

 PLEASE please don't open the doors to human trafficking, so closely linked to prostitution. Give the women their rights, their dignity, the chance for a life with family, home and men who honour them by treating them as precious, not as a possession.

Prostitution should not be honoured and legalised. Instead it should be condemned as the hammer which cracks our society and shatters those that are forced into it.

Search your hearts before you put this hammer into law. Please. Consider this as though you stood before a God who weeps for his precious daughters and sons who were made to be cherished, not pawed. But who live and survive the only way they can because WE are not standing with them and lifting them and saying no to this offence.

You would kill the life and laughter of the sons and daughters of Africa with this legislation.
