Working in Quito, Ecuador 3

Working in Quito, Ecuador 3
Prostitution in Quito, Ecuador is legal. This woman told me that since it became legal, women have been able to unionize and look out for each other. They do not need johns or pimps for protection. They are not hassled by corrupt police looking for favors to prevent arrest. They are required to have health screenings on a regular basis. They feel much safer and do not feel like marginalized citizens.

She viewed herself as a working mother and took pride in her work. She had little education or earning potential so this is how she earned her living.
