"Advocacy groups confirm the popularity of Craigslist's erotic services," the complaint states. "The Polaris Project, a group against human sexual trafficking, believes Craigslist is now the single largest source of prostitution, including child exploitation, in the country." It also cites another group, Love 146, which reports that Craigslist is used for child prostitution.<br />The complaint claims that authorities across the country have reported Craigslist's role in facilitating sex trafficking. "In one such instance, the FBI uncovered a sex ring involving child prostitutes in which the pimps 'posted over 2,800 advertisements on Craigslist.org,' " the complaint states. This is not the first time Craigslist has been confronted with such claims. Sheriff Dart says that he has sent five separate letters to Craigslist asking the site to close its erotic services section, to no avail. In March 2008, Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal sent a letter to Craigslist's attorney demanding that Craigslist police its users' postings. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"><strong>Anti-Prostitution Initiative Taken to D.C.

Fewer than a dozen of those cases resulted in full-scale criminal investigations, authorities say.<br />Anecdotal evidence from police, prosecutors and groups that deal <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_oZLqmNFMWb5bvrzk8QuEq2hzVtVbnP4sfOmpre2d3W1pIwVymN6L-kAE_OQ1qz5ZbiK_aELh-Z-97CxEwHkV4igX7IGZMQtx5u1SJd3P42BRq092um886xEs8u_SYfGXDWFUMqeOf-NX/s1600-h/es_dc_subj_e.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397352408364447506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_oZLqmNFMWb5bvrzk8QuEq2hzVtVbnP4sfOmpre2d3W1pIwVymN6L-kAE_OQ1qz5ZbiK_aELh-Z-97CxEwHkV4igX7IGZMQtx5u1SJd3P42BRq092um886xEs8u_SYfGXDWFUMqeOf-NX/s400/es_dc_subj_e.jpg" /></a>with troubled youths suggests a larger problem in the District. A national study funded by the U.S. Justice Department in 2001 estimated that as many as 300,000 runaways and otherwise homeless youths under 18 were sexually exploited.<br />That's one reason the Fair Fund has taken its message about trafficking and abusive relationships to District classes for the second school year.<br />The group typically works in Serbia, Bosnia, Russia and Kenya. But last year it signed an agreement with school officials to go into six high schools: Bell Multicultural, McKinley Tech, Woodson, Coolidge, School Without Walls and Anacostia. The schools were chosen, in part, based on police reports of family and domestic violence in neighborhoods that funnel students to the schools, said Andrea Powell, Fair Fund's executive director. This year, the program is continuing informally.<br />Powell founded Fair Fund five years ago and has developed a curriculum that warns students about human trafficking. Since November 2007, Powell and three other workers have reached 820 students, trained dozens of teachers and received 56 notes from students, many of them anonymous, seeking help. Some said they were raped by their fathers or know of teenagers involved in prostitution. A few said they were homeless.<br />Police and advocates say some juveniles trade sex for a place to stay or food. </div><br /><div><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/23/AR2008112302241.html?referrer=emailarticl">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/23/AR2008112302241.html?referrer=emailarticl</a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2RpMOtQq-sHGvh6abMG0BCj0aINPhzD6v_dUc5XGgoJ02wyxuRptzS-AV4u34f-rTEKv88KBpXzn-liglpWUUEvO5JHCXbw3CjiaNzujADRKavuQDv3S6A4KVJWB2vjP1cVhmp9Pnhzq9/s1600-h/acorn_logo_and_word_03.gif"><img style="WIDTH: 308px; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397357751107194450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2RpMOtQq-sHGvh6abMG0BCj0aINPhzD6v_dUc5XGgoJ02wyxuRptzS-AV4u34f-rTEKv88KBpXzn-liglpWUUEvO5JHCXbw3CjiaNzujADRKavuQDv3S6A4KVJWB2vjP1cVhmp9Pnhzq9/s400/acorn_logo_and_word_03.gif" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cG4vOFL7q0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cG4vOFL7q0</a></div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR5hHN9lsqg">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR5hHN9lsqg</a></div><br /><div></div></div></div>eastlosrider80http://www.blogger.com/profile/13654606275189206920noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677408987251094132.post-23154520857312395622009-09-29T15:47:00.003-07:002009-09-29T16:08:21.387-07:00Pathfinder InternationalThe Pathfinder Advocacy programs are there to protect sex workers from around the world. There are different aspects of the groups goals in whatever region they are in. Their main concern is to educate the workers in HIV/AIDS programs and trying to reduce the numbers of cases. The United States has a program called “anti-prostitution loyalty oath.” Any country receiving any assistance to stop HIV/AIDs needs to go by the U.S.'s program or lose funding to help their country. The country has to pledge they oppose prostiution ans sex trafficking. Any activist who support or promost the legalalization of prostitution have to be arrested. Some countries try to help out their sex workers and give them a better life. For example in Brazil prostitution isn't illegal, but didn't want to follow the anti-porostitution loyalty oath. They turned down $40 million in US Funds because they believed empowering sex workers to advocate for their rights and protect their health. US policy would have required the Brazilian government to alter an approach that has resulted in projected HIV infection rates dropping by half from 1992 to 2002. Organizations that sign the oath are forced to refrain from some of the most effective HIV prevention strategies with sex workers, for fear that the government will view the outreach as “pro-prostitution.” Many experts are concerned that criminalization pushes prostitution further underground, allowing for increased abuse and less opportunity for sex workers to seek legal recourse when their rights are violated.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pathfind.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Advocacy_Resources_Fact_Sheets_Loyalty_Oath">http://www.pathfind.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Advocacy_Resources_Fact_Sheets_Loyalty_Oath</a>eastlosrider80http://www.blogger.com/profile/13654606275189206920noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677408987251094132.post-20371798332586585772009-09-11T19:48:00.000-07:002009-09-11T20:53:26.565-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-wbzW4I6-DrLBPgyfdKy3xs-r6JbPnZlgrJu3663g-HCLcQboV-ayGI2Ds2jrMNEzWXKgTCT3GOq-80Lknpa_dx2pR1Yl-rWmrYetjMJhfTrlWnc6nK4IMmw5FQYF5xBbsb7JawG8jUpP/s1600-h/spaceball.gif"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 1px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 1px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380409985221920626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-wbzW4I6-DrLBPgyfdKy3xs-r6JbPnZlgrJu3663g-HCLcQboV-ayGI2Ds2jrMNEzWXKgTCT3GOq-80Lknpa_dx2pR1Yl-rWmrYetjMJhfTrlWnc6nK4IMmw5FQYF5xBbsb7JawG8jUpP/s320/spaceball.gif" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwB8uMw1NhyphenhyphenDItVLc_EZYuFAFg2llBiM0T9UTm9A5ejiRkHCp78TL0t3tS-_XVSibOx6pOnPidNh-7_80Z21Gp6iJdHcqm2419Da-fWPrYA6WBl2O8EQ3VeOXkrjYkhugGg-fo4Ofd5zYn/s1600-h/2944664985_59f2448b07.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 205px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380409569591424450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwB8uMw1NhyphenhyphenDItVLc_EZYuFAFg2llBiM0T9UTm9A5ejiRkHCp78TL0t3tS-_XVSibOx6pOnPidNh-7_80Z21Gp6iJdHcqm2419Da-fWPrYA6WBl2O8EQ3VeOXkrjYkhugGg-fo4Ofd5zYn/s320/2944664985_59f2448b07.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEialc1jYwyzxfBdxpHioWJ9x7nZgdvSeB9C07zGXAZ9jYXU7xOsyIyfyXYeb5_5cGA2a1GvUx_kGOCZp3spsQRMcOeqV3WTNVZEcK6fVZceYrAJ52C7v8ARTuM2NMfcg4vCKwDN7rjYV2FF/s1600-h/patpong_night.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 420px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 393px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380422696074940258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEialc1jYwyzxfBdxpHioWJ9x7nZgdvSeB9C07zGXAZ9jYXU7xOsyIyfyXYeb5_5cGA2a1GvUx_kGOCZp3spsQRMcOeqV3WTNVZEcK6fVZceYrAJ52C7v8ARTuM2NMfcg4vCKwDN7rjYV2FF/s320/patpong_night.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://prostitution.procon.org/viewanswers.asp?questionID=001315">http://prostitution.procon.org/viewanswers.asp?questionID=001315</a></div><div><br /><br />There is a big problem around the world with women prostitution and it seems that it will never go away. Some countries try hard and inforce the laws, some countries look the other way, and some countries have actually legalized prostitution with rules. Some people might think prostitution should be legalized and some others think it should be illegal. There is only a small percentage of women that go into prostitution because they want to make easy money. Many other women are trafficked across the countries and forced to work in prostitution rings.<br /><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG3kc1F5jmk">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG3kc1F5jmk</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFkqqPinvuE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFkqqPinvuE</a></div><div>Many women are lied to in thinking they are going to waitress, model, or work as a secretary in other countries not realizing what they are getting into and are caught off guard</div><div><br /></div><div>Women from Nepal</div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV0QTexCf6A">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV0QTexCf6A</a></div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOCZEwLr_-A&NR=1">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOCZEwLr_-A&NR=1</a></div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs1H1WQrZN0&NR=1">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs1H1WQrZN0&NR=1</a></div><div><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMs7r0jZEBFG0sNZHmp76yqaDSLSTxs35ZaEArDwKRDQG_3WDmT0a7dNBr8ThCeyMGUL4G59xvuZE7g-I6vnRdMxy0657ECjlywJhJ7hLUaoVMRmdqyP-x__xcQuWD5oduUlIYghHralBn/s1600-h/720px-Prostitution_in_Europe.png"><span style="color:#006600;"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380418268100622178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMs7r0jZEBFG0sNZHmp76yqaDSLSTxs35ZaEArDwKRDQG_3WDmT0a7dNBr8ThCeyMGUL4G59xvuZE7g-I6vnRdMxy0657ECjlywJhJ7hLUaoVMRmdqyP-x__xcQuWD5oduUlIYghHralBn/s320/720px-Prostitution_in_Europe.png" /></span></a> <span style="color:#006600;">Prostitution legal and regulated</span><br /><span style="color:#000099;">Prostitution (the exchange of sex for money) legal, but organised activities such as brothels and pimping are illegal, prostitution is not regulated</span> </div><div><span style="color:#660000;">Prostitution illegal</span> </div><div><span style="color:#333333;">No data</span></div><div><span style="color:#333333;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Prostitution_in_Europe.png">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Prostitution_in_Europe.png</a></span></div><div><br /></div><div></div>eastlosrider80http://www.blogger.com/profile/13654606275189206920noreply@blogger.com0
