I just want to make a comment. I am uncomfortable when I hear people referring to people in prostitution as "girls", because girls are of a particular age group and we need to be careful about the language we use in that regard.

I would be interested to hear Dr. Freedman's views on whether in some societies, be it the Ukraine or wherever, young women or young boys who have a good education and a meaningful life in which they have options and good communications with other people would choose to take the route of creating an income for themselves as a person in prostitution.
