For example, they idolize the perpetrators from their childhood, since it would be unbearable for children to realize that the person they must both trust and are utterly dependent on is not trustworthy, but is on the contrary inflicting damage on them. As long as this idolizing of the perpetrators cant be resolved, it can be kept up for a very long period of time, possibly even for a lifetime. As often happens with the victims of sexualized and other violence, the victims as adults are often no longer themselves aware of the traumatic emotional injuries they have sustained, sometimes at a very early age. In order to survive they have repressed the traumatic experiences, redefined them or are denying them in some form or other, only to be able to survive. Later this idolizing is transferred to the successors to the perpetrator from childhood. Prostituted women are then for example blind to reality, blind to the promises of the traffickers, the pimps and possibly of the johns. Drug and alcohol addiction do not only lead to prostitution, they are also employed by the prostitutes to be able to stand what prostitution is doing to their bodies and their souls. The splitting off of their own body possibly already practiced in childhood to live through the sexualized and other various forms of abusive violence is one way of no longer realizing what is being experienced by the body every single day. Cycle of dependencies Often horrendous rents are being demanded for the use of the rooms protected by the pimps, the rooms in which the prostitutes serve the johns. The pimps have to be paid off through a high number of sexual services and often the prostitutes arent able to do that. Pushed and tied up into debt and other dependencies, it can become very difficult even for allegedly voluntary prostitutes ever to rid themselves of this fatal cycle. Many prostitutes have never known a different, normal, truly self-determined life at all. We promote the abolition of the current law and the introduction of the abolition principle. We are convinced that legalizing the purchase of a body cannot be reconciled with human dignity, let alone all the risks of a prostituted life like for example extreme violence, STDs, HIV and also unwanted pregnancies. During the discussions about the legalization of prostitution phrases like free choice and selfhood or self-determination were highly praised. In the context of prostitution we view them as rather bold if not absurd propositions. Prostitution lives on the exploitation of women and men, girls and boys, who often traumatized as children do not find a way out of the cycles of sexualized violence and out of the imbalance of power. The decriminalization of the prostitutes themselves was badly overdue, and it was an important signal. To decriminalize prostitution itself and its businesses however, is in direct opposition to the human dignity of the prostitutes. Currently people can be exploited and degraded legally. In addition, prostitution often takes place in the environment of organized crime and thus in the vicinity of the business branches of the incredible torment of child prostitution and child pornography. The only ones to profit from the current regulation principle are organized and unorganized criminals and the johns and not the majority of female and male prostitutes.
