Nikki Thomas: Convincing Argument

Sex Professionals Of Canada Dept: You cannot but be impressed by Nikki Thomas. As the executive director of Sex Professionals of Canada, she is an articulate speaker who offers a convincing argument that the country's prostitution laws don't make sense and need to be changed, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The main point she made that day, and one that has been made on countless occasions, is that prostitution, which has existed since Biblical times, will never be eliminated. And, if so, then sex-trade workers have the right to work in a safe environment and prostitutes stand behind red-lit windows, waiting for customers in Amsterdam's Red Light district in this Sept. 28, 1997, file photo. Thomas, a panelist at a world affairs conference I attended in Toronto in February, told the audience how when she was 26 about five years ago she began work as a prostitute to pay for her university tuition. Subsequently, she attained a bachelor's degree from the University of Toronto and plans to pursue graduate studies.
