assumes that it is acceptable to buy another person&#8217;s body and to buy another person&#8217;s sexuality.<\/p>\n<p>In every exit process in recent years, we have witnessed that prostitution has left serious damage to the individuals involved.<\/p>\n<p>Physical injuries and injuries to the soul. The psychological injuries are usually more severe and require more time to heal. Severe trauma-related disorders are widespread and take years to process. The severity of the damage becomes clear only after exiting, but it clearly shows:<strong> what people experience in prostitution is violence. Violence against their dignity, against their body, against their soul.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Prostitution as a system concerns all of us<\/h2>\n<p>What does it do to us as a society when one gender is commodified? When sexuality is no longer understood on a relational level but on a consumption level?
