Article 6 - Addendum:

"...We do not understand to prohibit prostitution per se. There is no federal statute prohibiting prostitution generally, it is a matter left to state regulation...". (This 1980 Memorandum Addendum can be ordered from the U.S. State Department Office of the Legal Adviser, 2201 C St.NW, Washington, D.C.20520.)

World Goodwill Commentary WG-51 No.19 - WOMEN INTO THE FUTURE - Lucis Trust, 120 Wall St., 24th Floor, NY NY 10005 (a non-profit, educational organization first incorporated in the USA in 1922 to support the work of the United Nations and its specialized agencies as the best hope for a united and peaceful world) - "Prostitution is an economic as well as a social issue, linked closely with the low earning potential of many women, particularly women in the developing countries of the world...A television program cited the statistic that over 70% of the young high school girls in the Soviet Union were actively considering the profession of prostitution as a means of livelihood. (Note that it is the 6th most desired profession in Russia, and in Europe is considered a noble profession and is respected!)...This is a highly complex subject but it is quite obvious that prohibitions most assuredly do not work and are essentially unjust as they penalize the woman and take little consideration of the offense of the men."(World Goodwill website - click)
