It has been called the oldest profession in the world and now head of the Caribbean Association of Sex Workers, Miriam Edwards, says sex workers throughout the region would be willing to pay taxes if respective governments started recognising what they do as a job.
“We are willing to pay taxes if they give us the right to work and if they accept sex work as a job,” she told delegates at the 2011 HIV Conference earlier this week at the Atlantis, Paradise Island Bahamas.
all just a bunch of hypocrite woman have been prostituting from the beginning of time and will continue whether its privately or publicly. All them woman that married and hold sex from there husband when he not providing and giving him when he is what you call that????? that is sex for money or it’s equivalent=PROSTITUTION!!!!!
If they’re recognised legally,then every one else in whatever illegal money making business/jobs will be/should be recognised.
some of the ladies that saying a woman should not sell her body is the same ones that asking for cellphone,computers and top up
Where has human dignity and self-respect gone. I am not a piece of meat I am not for sale.I guess the men cannot identify their mothers and sisters, they must all be test tube babies who were carried by a surrogate mother and then abandoned and so have no sense of identity.
Wow…. HIV has an association?
…Weh Boi….women likes to be used..
there is direct and indirect prostitution.if we really look at it all women make `bargain`.so no need to ostracize any one group.
It’s official, the good Lord is coming soon!
HYPOCRITE!
Amen to that and he is coming rapid to
That woman needs God. Stupes.. how degrading for women. Sex as a job? Aren’t we worth more than that?
you donot need to make bomb to survive .the good lord can take care of you .what we need is good moral education and skills training that will make people more marketable.people need a good support system so they donot have to turn in those area.we must remember that poverty makes people gullible . AND MEN MUST LEARN TO HELP THE NEEDY AND DONT BE SO GREEDDY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF POOR PEOPLE CHILDREN.
soon they will ask to be qualifiy and will be asking for degree i hope they give them 3rd degrees
true dt..imagine someone saying i have a masters in sex work at such nd such a university… boy look things wii. and dey expect tp reduce AIDs spread. human beings really doe love dem selves sometimes eh.
For real why not recognize this as a legitimate profession? Doing so will make these workers accountable for spreading of sexual transmitted diseases. They will also be better protected from violence and will have a safer environment to conduct their business. Bottom-line sex sells and can be a lucrative business if managed professionally. Those who judge these workers are the same ones with the money paying for their services. Those of you who object take a look around you “morality” exist only as a word, we rely more on practicability and profitability.
I AM NOT AGAINST PROSTITUTION ,I DO NOT CONDONE IT EITHER ; BUT THINK OF IT FOR A SHORT WHILE … IF THERE WAS NO PROSTITUTION THE RAPE LEVEL WOULD BE HIGHER ,HOMOSEXUALITY,AND SEXUAL ASSAULTS ON A HIGH LEVEL BASIS.
SOME OF YOU HYPOCRITES, DID YOU ALWAYS HAVE SEX AS A MARRIED COUPLE? OR WERE YOU ALWAYS HONEST TO YOUR PARTNERS? SO DO NOT CRITICIZE WHAT YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND OR SPORT AS A HUMAN BEING WILL ALWAYS STRIVE TO HAVE THE FORBIDDEN FOR FREE OR CASH.IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER YOU PAY FOR IT OR NOT BUT ITS THE EXCITEMENT ABOUT IT AND THE RISKS THAT MOST OF US LIKE TAKING.
THESE WOMEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASK TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE IN THE ORGANIZATION OR TRADE WHICH HELPS THEM AND THEIR FAMILY BUT THEY NEED PROTECTION AND IS ONLY THE GOVERNMENT THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO HELP THEM NOT THE PIMP BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE IN IT BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY CAN GET FROM THE LADIES.
TAKE A TRIP TO AMSTERDAM SILLY HYPOCRITES SELFISH PEOPLE.THE PROSTITUTES PAY TAX AND THEY ARE RESPECTED….
It is happening, we can’t stop it, we might as well capitalize from it. At least now we the public can realize those “working” women so we can stay from from them concerning relationships, when we see them with our fathers, sons, etc etc we know what’s up!!
zooor.they even have association here…lolol
SA MOI CA TAN LA NOR!!!!!!!!!
Government should slap on a 50% VAT on that
Only if government investing in the hairy bank itself!!! otherwise a 12 month tax break can be taken up in parliament!!! And guess what , those UWP will show up in the house and make their contribution. See prepre with cross round hic neck opposing!!
Shirley will come on DNO and say ” I burning my Dominican passport!!” Dominica and Dominicans have lost it.
Cubano would you tax urself? Those gov’t ministers are some of the premiere patronizers.Nasty suckers.Don’t forget some of the lawyers .
with the amount of spanish and local spanish we have here the country would make a good change wii on the bomberz…….lol……skerroo what u saying?….lets tax them spanish boi
i am turned of by the fact that she said that they have a right to withhold information if they have HIV,then you do not need to be recognize by any respectful government,for them its all about the money,this is like crack cocaine its drug,then again this habit has its up side and down side,it helps society with the raping problem,on the other hand it leads to death end of perdition road,the heads of governments can pick there own poisons.
smh what a world
i hope we get an association here to so that prices can be regulated. them locals and spanish too wicked. We need the Bureau of Standards to set standards for the industry.
LOL! Very interesting discussion.
My personal stance is that I am not for or against the sex industry trade. The way I see it is that society is just too hypocritical and have double standards on the trade.
When it comes to abortion they will tell you that it is a woman’s body it is a woman’s right to choose. So how is it that when a woman wants a man to compensate her for the services of her body it is not a woman’s body nor a woman’s right to choose?
Some will say that its a question of morals and ethics and the government cannot tax such, but here we have the workers volunteering to be taxed. And the question is does the government not tax all those abortion institutions they have all over the place?
All I am saying is if you are gonna ban one then ban the other.
THIS COUNTRY OF OURS WAS BUILT ON THE PRINCIPLES OF THE HOLY BIBLE.
This is none sense, this is like saying it is ok to sell your body for money at schools they teach hospitality, business, economics and I guess next is how sex education for working on the streets. This is highly unacceptable this stuff is wrong and brings the wrong message.
TAX TO SEX WORKERS……RUBBISH_

People will do anything to have a job, HEAD OF CARIBBEAN ASSOCIATION OF SEX WORK??? WTF
NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT SO MANY WOMEN IN DOMINICA MAKING BOMB. STOP BEING A HYPOCRITE
To each his own…. If that’s how they can make their bread then who are any of you to judge a prostitute…. I believe it’s a great form of raising revenue for the economy… Maximize on the opportunity
you must be one of them.
One word – Utter nonsense!!
Caribbean Association of Sex Workers? Wow, never knew there was such a thing.
my problem with us Dominican we love condemning such acts but as soon as we leave our little safe haven its strip clubs casinos and brothels/whore houses we frequent so stop coming on dno crying down others
maybe u frequent those places, dont put us all in it nuh..
ya i agree wit u,hyprocrite they playing
But what i reading dere nah!! Caribbean governments here is a better proposal – conduct covert military raids on these prostitution elements and collect all the money they have instead of taxes; then arrest all the practitioners of this prostitution foolishness.
Just now all criminals will start offering Caribbean governments taxes in an effort for the governments to recognize their criminal activities as legitimate jobs.
Need some adult club in D.A.The place is dead nowhere to go at nights.Government can make alot of money collecting these taxes..know all religious fanatics going to get mad.
wow interesting its better that all those boggar talk they have going on and nasty gay rights..
What is this world coming to???????
Its coming to an end, and there is no doubt about it!! Association of sex workers??? we really living in the end of times, oh yes we are. Lord preserve your people, those of us that are save, help us to guard our salvation becaus we are living in an evil world.
That’s what proves the world is evil to you? Prostitution? In a world with murder, rape, child abuse, genocide, greed, and terrorism? People lose all sense of proportion when it comes to sex. Prostitution didn’t even make God’s top ten list of sins.
Unbelievable. Sings of the times.
We do not need these type of activities in Dominica
Sex working comes with a lot of consequences and i do hope that they are prepared for what to come
In Canada, USA, UK Rumania etc, they keep disappearing like flies, they stand on the roadside and flagging going in cars with all sorts of serial killers only they find their bodies and name them Jane Doo, this is so sick and i do hope that the government of Dominica do not condone this type of activity
We have too many people suffering in the island with HIV there is a high profile case going on in Canada where a pig farmer killed over 30 sex workers and feed his pigs with their bodies
This is a very dangerous trade, what if a man see a gorgeous lady on the road side stop his car let her in make the deal go to a hotel only to find out that the gorgeous lady is a man, what will happen?
Devil is working hard, we have to rebuke Satan and ask God to take control of our island
Too every need, there is an ego to feed. Bob Marley;
tell me what is the world coming to? now there is an association for sex workers eh! seems gone are the days where being a sex worker would be a shameful thing but now there is an association to handle the affairs of the “work”! hmmm…astonishing is not suitable to describe my thought! only God can help this world! because with things like this happening and even being placed into recognized groups and associations…i swear we are asking for the brimstone fire!
it is called demand and supply…..so dn’t blame the supplies, them them sad wives go fix their broken home….and there will be no sex industry or association…..
“tings a get crucial
. crucial crucial”.. Nasio fountaine
well she will lie on her back for what im getting free though, I never put down help if my bag heavy and i getting help not help ner girl work my husband eh like a donkey cuz u hungry. I have the house, the car and the bank account so go ahead HELP me out, queens always need slaves for their Kingdom lol
If gays are allow to get married i’m not suprise by this association….and you know who fuel this sex workers most wives who want to say no to their husband…yes its tru if he cant get from u he will find somewhere to do because men produce the hormones for sex 7 times fast then woman so its not really their fault their sex drive is so nuch higher than woman.
Tambrind Pie, just know when she helping u that she can help ur husband bring u some diseases too.
these people must be making a lot of money….must be the high class call girls ..because i know in Dominica a “bomb” cost 50 box or lower….so i hear
Or so you know, is knw u knw dats why u open you LARGET
But I got one for less than that already. I mean $50.00 is good but if you can get there for $25.00, then why not take it.The supply is some times greater than the demand.
lol
LOL
TINY???
Mooolaaaa!!!
50 + 50 is 100… how many duminicans making 100 dollars a day? 2 bomb alone they need to make
