YouTube video posted by the Asia Pacific Network of Sex Workers, is posted here. One Whore looks at the hideous practices of 'rescue organisations', that basically kidnap sex workers from their workplaces in the Asia Pacific regions, and 'retrain' them in basket weaving or sewing (both on a par with sex work, in terms of earning power, not! Way to keep the poor in their poverty), and the funding of those organisations.
Also the truly evil 'Anti-Prostitution Pledge' of the Bush administration, that withholds HIV/AIDS funding unless both U.S.-based and foreign organizations adopt policies that explicitly oppose all forms of sex work - which means no law reform attempts, no acknowledgement of the human and industrial rights of sex workers, and no funding of peer-based sex worker organisations.
