Many people seem to have blinkers on &#8211; despite no-one being able to imagine that they themselves, or their mother, daughter, sister, would enjoy doing the work, they accept what the sex-industry wants them to believe \u2013 that it\u2019s a \u2018normal job\u2019, that the women have all chosen to do it, and are earning buckets of money. It is as if prostitutes are not considered as people but, rather, as a kind of sub-class, for whom normal, human values do not seem to count.<br \/>\n(The title is taken from the Latin term Homo Sacer, one who is deprived of his or her full humanity, a non-citizen who does not enjoy the protection of the law and who can be killed without legal consequence.)<br \/>\nWhen I found myself having to explain Amsterdam\u2019s red-light windows to my (then) seven year old son, I began to question this widespread acceptance of prostitution. I volunteered to help at a hostel for women who had escaped from forced prostitution in the Netherlands \u2013 the stories of these women form the basis of the book Mulier Sacer.<br \/>\nThe English publication is already out.
