Legalized Prostitution In Hungary

(You can get a receipt from a prostitute)

Fellas, this is so sad for so many reasons. There are men willing to dehumanize women in this way and there are women willing to dehumanize themselves. Sad.

From CNN:

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) -- In an effort to bring prostitutes into the legal economy, officials said Monday that Hungary will allow sex workers to apply for an entrepreneur's permit -- a move that could generate government revenues from an industry worth an estimated $1 billion annually. art.prostitute.ap.jpg

New permits allow prostitutes to give receipts to customers and become part of the legal economy in Hungary.

Human rights groups often have criticized European Union member Hungary for legalizing prostitution -- which has been fully allowed under certain conditions since 1999. Opponents say legalization does not help prostitutes.

The permits allow prostitutes to give receipts to customers and become part of the legal economy by paying taxes and making social security contributions, said Agnes Foldi, head of the Hungarian Prostitutes' Interest Protection Association.

Hungary's sex industry -- including prostitution and the production of pornographic materials -- generates an estimated $1 billion annually, said Agnes Bakonyi, the spokeswoman of Hungary's tax authority APEH.

Fellas, men can stop this industry from existing. Hungarians need to hear from the Church.
