Review into prostitution must benefit women not business
Caroline Norma
She is a member of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women Australia [Prostitutionsgegner].
The ACT government (australian capital territory, Canberra) is reviewing its 1992 Prostitution Act, and has called for public submissions. Not surprisingly, the sex industry has been quick to submit its wish-list on prostitution, and Phillip Thomson’s article in The Canberra Times nicely summarises the demands the industry is making of the ACT government.
These include:
1. Normalise prostitution as a legitimate business activity by removing zoning restrictions on brothels that are currently relegated to industrialised areas
2. Open up more opportunities for organised escort prostitution networks by lifting the one-person ‘sole-operator’ restriction for prostitution businesses operating outside of industrial areas
3. Remove official registration requirements for one-person ‘sole-operator’ prostitution businesses
Through lobby organisations like the EROS Foundation and ACT SWOP in Canberra, the sex industry pursues its demands under the rhetoric of ‘safety for sex workers’. This rhetoric runs along the following lines:
1. Women risk danger if they must commute to brothels in industrial areas, because these areas are ‘dark’ and unpopulated at night
2. Women risk danger if they must operate prostitution businesses as one-person ‘sole-operators’ from home, because they can’t employ drivers to act as security guards
3. Women risk exposure and social discrimination if they must register with government as ‘sex workers’
While the sex industry pursues its business aims under the rhetorical guise of ‘safety for sex workers’, its profits are derived from the sexual degradation and exploitation of society’s most vulnerable people.
Research shows overwhelmingly that people in prostitution suffer rates of post-traumatic stress disorder equal to that of war veterans (see [fragwürdige Prostitutionsgegnerin] Melissa Farley, 2004). So, it’s unlikely the industry gives a damn about the personal security, integrity and individual growth of the women it sells as live sex dolls.
Notably, the industry is not lobbying the ACT government to set up ‘exit’ programs to assist women to leave prostitution if they wish. The industry’s real agenda is obscured by its ‘safety for sex workers’ rhetoric, but understanding this agenda is important if any changes are going to be considered for the ACT’s Prostitution Act.
The business logic behind the sex industry’s first aim—to remove planning restrictions on brothels—is fairly obvious; the more prostitution is integrated into mainstream Australian society, the greater profits the industry will earn through customers who are no longer inhibited by the social condemnation of their peers. But the reasoning behind aims two and three might be less clear to the general observer.
To understand these two aims, one has to be aware that a big growth market for the Australian sex industry is escort prostitution. Escort or ‘outcall’ prostitution currently contributes over half of the industry’s earnings. This model of prostitution is profitable because it runs with few overheads, falls under the radar of most government regulation, and operates flexibly over large geographical areas and in response to movements in male populations (eg, toward mining areas).
If the ban on one-person ‘sole-operators’ operating in conjunction with another party is lifted, Canberra’s sex industry will be able to tap into a large population of poor and vulnerable women (often living with small children) who are currently bought for prostitution through rented suburban flats. The head of the Adult Entertainment Industry in Victoria was quoted recently as saying that as many as 7000 ‘sole operators’ in that state are currently being organised into networks by criminal groups who, he speculates, might be drug dealers.
They could be involved in abuse of the migration program, including the trafficking of women. They might be engaging in inducing under-age persons into the sex industry.
Canberra’s sex industry is lobbying to have restrictions on sole-operators lifted so that ‘legal’ prostitution businessmen, too, can start to profit from these women. Large-scale escort prostitution businesses aim to recruit these women into their networks by offering them ‘drivers’ (for the sake of their safety!) and free mobile phones. This will allow escort business operators to expand the number of women they have on their books, cater to a geographically expanded male population, and recoup overheads and licensing costs incurred in running legal and ‘legitimate’ brothel businesses. Lobbying for the lifting of restrictions on ‘sole operators’ is therefore an important task of the industry, and one tied to its future profitability.
The industry that seeks to profit from prostitution is a business that has devastating consequences for women used within it, as well as Australian society at large. It is an industry that preys on young women who have been made socially vulnerable through childhood sexual abuse, poverty, mental illness, drugs, and homelessness. It is an industry also renowned for prostituting underage girls.
Janine Cameron was found dead in a Canberra brothel (‘Death of innocence’, 1 November 2008). She was 17. Women are trafficked from overseas to meet the demands of the domestic sex industry. The lives of so many women and girls are destroyed by this industry. Violence and abuse is just part of the job. And Fiona Patten, representing a voracious industry, only wants to expand it into Canberra’s suburban backyards.
The Coalition Against Trafficking in Women Australian (CATWA) argues the sex industry needs to be properly understood as imposing on Australian society an unacceptably high level of harm. Like the approach taken toward the tobacco industry, we believe state and territory governments should begin to introduce legislative measures that have as their ultimate goal the industry’s demise.
CATWA supports the “Swedish Model” of sex industry legislation which sees all forms of prostitution as violence against women. The purchaser of sex is penalised, and women are offered 'exit' programs to help get them out of the industry and find non-harmful ways of supporting themselves and their children.
We find it disturbing that the ACT’s sex industry is using the current Prostitution Act review to call for more brothels in the territory when there is not one exit program in place for prostituted women in Canberra. As the ACT government accepts submissions on its Prostitution Act, it should be aware that a profitable and highly sophisticated sex industry with its own lobby organisations is making demands that are wholly aimed at expanding the industry’s profits.
If the government listens to these demands it abrogates its responsibility to its most vulnerable female constituents, and permits the sex industry even greater reign to damage the wellbeing and social status of women in Australia’s capital.

The Sex Industry: A Survey of Sex Workers in Queensland, Australia

This book reports on a study of 221 sex workers in Queensland, Australia. The workers were interviewed by an interviewer with experience in the industry.
They were asked a variety of questions relating to how they came to enter the industry, their knowledge of and attitudes towards safe sex, and a variety of other questions to do with lifestyle, service use and sexual health, and contact with the police and legal system.
Sex work emerges as an activity which has a number of advantages.
- The pay is good,
- the hours are short and
- the work enables the worker to meet some interesting people and
- engage in social activities.
Unlike other occupations, entry into sex work is somewhat haphazard (few appearing to plan entry to this industry as a career path) but, once in the industry many find it has benefits as well as disadvantages.
Primary amongst these latter are
- the risks of acquiring a sexually transmitted disease (AIDS being uppermost in their minds) or
- the fear of violence which is associated with the context in which services are provided.
In addition, sex workers often manifest a lifestyle which includes substance use and abuse.
Relationships with police are often problematic and many workers report experiences which are critical of the legal system.
This book provides a broad insight into the industry which, for parts of Australia, is subjected to substantial change.
Such insights contribute not only to our understanding of the industry itself but also to the kind of health promoting activities which need to be initiated.

Ich habe diesen Eintrag im Blog "Overland"
http://web.overland.org.au/2011/03/what ... sex-trade/
erst heute gefunden, den ich als äusserst zitierwürdig erachte und auf ein wichtiges Papier im Zusammenhang mit dem Schwedischen Modell verweist.
Ausgangspunkt ist offensichtlich eine Doktorarbeit, die wieder einmal mit heisser Nadel gestrickt wurde und das Schwedische Modell befürwortet und vom Autor kritisch umrissen wird. Vielleicht ein neuerlicher Fall von "Junk Science"?

What to do about the sex trade?
Written by SJ Finn on 8-03-2011
"Last year a friend invited me to what I thought was going to be a lecture by the outspoken feminist Professor Sheila Jeffreys titled: ‘Prostitution in St. Kilda, How The Law Has Failed Sex Workers.’ Given I see many of these sex workers through my job at St Kilda Crisis Centre – not to mention my interest in the topic – I jumped at the chance to hear what I thought was going to be a dissertation on our inability to run a proper and tightly regulated sex industry; one that provides protection for women and men who work in it and offers pathways for them out of that work. What was delivered, however, by a PhD student (Professor Jeffreys sitting stolidly beside her) turned out to be in utter contradiction to that, and infuriated me to the point of explosion – not a great place to get to when a cool head is required to provide a counterargument.
The young female PhD candidate presented information on her nascent paper about trauma caused to the residents of a certain street in St Kilda, a street I myself had lived in for 12 years, that has what you could call a vibrant street-sex trade. Her premise was that residents had reported such trauma from witnessing the activities of the trade in their street; it was reason alone for prostitution to be outlawed. She cited interviews she’d done with these residents, including a husband who had lost his sex drive and a child who grew into a delinquent because of what he’d seen.
Apart from the dubious nature of claiming such interviews with aggrieved people as research, there was little theorising in regard to phenomenological methodology that might make them worthy of being held up as research in the first place. Still, with almost self-righteous aplomb, she asserted that they should be added to evidence that meant the only way to proceed in regard to the sex trade was to follow Sweden’s example and make it illegal to allow punters to buy sex.
Indeed, until 1999 it was legal both to buy and sell sex in Sweden, although brothels were banned, as was profiting from the sexual labour of others and the advertising of sexual services. Since January of that year however, it also became a crime to pay for sex. Casting prostitutes as the victims of the sex trade, the idea of the law is that it shifts the blame onto those who pay for sex. (In the literature about the law, they’re all deemed to be men. It seems, in Sweden at least, women don’t buy sex.)
Supporters of the law, currently leading to about 50 convictions a year, say the legislation is about handling demand. But to claim these laws have led to successful outcomes is a naive and problematic assertion. This blanket approach has many critics, including prostitutes themselves, who say that any claim stating there has been a fall in the number of prostitutes, is a mistaken reading. They say the trade has merely gone underground and online, putting sex workers in greater danger.
Meanwhile, back home, because of negligence and corruption, the sex trade is booming. Like other countries around the world, it’s associated with human trafficking and gross exploitation of individuals. So how do we proceed at this point in regard to the question of the sex trade? In the introduction to the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into human trafficking for the purpose of sex work, Judy Maddigan states:
The majority of Victorians would be horrified if they knew that women are trafficked to Australia for sexual purposes. However, little investigation has been done in this area; evidence in this field is scanty and the victims are often unwilling to speak because of fear of deportation.
The reality is that human trafficking is happening, at rates impossible to estimate, all over the planet, including in countries such as Sweden. On both ends of the scale, from blanket-approach laws to no laws at all, the option of knowing what’s going on and having control over it becomes more and more distant, as with most things we legislate against.
Following the case of a 12-year-old girl being prostituted to 100 men in Tasmania, it’s perhaps understandable that a Christian lobby group is urging the Tasmanian Premier to review the Sex Industry Offences Act 2005 in an effort to push for the Swedish laws to be taken up in Australia. But to do so without considering the experiences and situations of sex workers is irresponsible. I am so opposed to the exclusion of the sex workers’ voices from the process – something that Professor Sheila Jeffreys ostensibly considers they are incapable of giving because of their conditioning – that I view it as absolutely against every feministic tenet around.
Swedish feminist and author Petra Östergren agrees:
If equal rights for women is important, then the experience of sex workers themselves must surely be central to our discussion, regardless of what position one takes on prostitution.
You might as well know: I neither made my points well that night around the table at Melbourne Uni, nor did I behave graciously. My only excuse is that I was appalled to think that the small morsel of control a woman living a difficult and marginalised lifestyle had was being further ignored and marginalised by one of the so-called leaders in the feminist field.
To get some of the good oil on all this, I’d direct you to an expansive report commissioned by the Queensland State Government discussing the Swedish Approach and citing much about its greatest Australian supporter, Professor Sheila Jeffreys.
In which, Mr. Bob Wallace, principal policy officer of the Prostitution Licensing Authority, wrote:
Holding sex workers out as victims is not only inherently disempowering, but reinforces community stereotypes about sex workers being drug dependent and forced into prostitution by ‘pimps’. This only contributes to the further marginalisation and alienation of sex workers from society and to the stigma and discrimination that they experience
Well worth a read."
Vom zitierten Bob Wallace gibt einen umfangreichen Bericht, der sich kritisch mit dem Schwedischen Modell beschäftigt. Lesenswert!!
Seine Zusammenfassung (immerhin knapp 20 Seiten)
The available evidence does not match the widely heralded rhetoric of the success of the Swedish model in practically eliminating prostitution. Even the best that the Swedish Government’s own Skarhed Report can conclude is that prostitution has not increased in Sweden. Hardly a ringing endorsement. There is some evidence that the prohibition on the purchase of sexual services has driven the sex industry underground and sex workers feel less secure and consider themselves at greater risk of violence. The law does not protect sex workers who have been left worse off as a result. Trafficking is conflated with prostitution, so that all migrant women engaging in prostitution must be victims of trafficking and exploitation. One of the worst effects has been to marginalise an already stigmatised group in society. Sex workers have described how they feel like second rate citizens and they are infantilised by being told they could not possibly have freely chosen to enter the sex industry. They are not prostitutes, and certainly not sex workers, but prostituted women. They are told that they are disempowered victims of male violence and exploitation, even if they are incapable of comprehending that themselves because of a false consciousness syndrome. Their own views and experiences are discounted.They are deprived of their autonomy and agency as individuals.
This is incompatible with the principles of a liberal democracy.
Conversely, a harm minimisation model respects the right of adults to freely choose to enter the sex industry but puts in place measures to better protect the health, safety and welfare of sex workers and clients.

"Schlampen Demo"
Slut Walk
a mass response to victim-blaming in cases of sexual violence
Melbourne 28. Mai 2011
Politics of Slutwalk
by Ellena Savage
Slutwalk is indebted to the Reclaim the Night movement feminist anti-rape movement, which dates back to 1976.
Rebranding of feminist separatism and transform the language of oppression into a language of autonomy.
Slutwalk, using the theatricality and parody, performs an inversion of the Madonna/Whore binaries that harm all women.

Arbeiten in Australien
sodale, wie versprochen meld ich mich wieder :-)
leider hat sich bis jetzt nur laurell von http://www.respectqld.org.au/ bei mir gemeldet. mit ihr stehe ich allerdings im regen kontakt.
also was ich bisher in erfahrung bringen konnte:
man darf mit einem "work an travel" visum in australien arbeiten *juhuuu*. dazu braucht man allerdings eine ABN nummer (australian business number). diese kann man hier beantragen:
https://abr.gov.au/
man ist dann sozusagen selbstständig in australien. ist natürlich praktisch, weil man dann auch in anderen jobs auf rechnung arbeiten kann.
steuern muss man erst ab einem jährlichen einkommen ab $75.000 zahlen. ab dieser summe fallen dann 10% an. die steuern nennen sich übrigens: GST (Goods & Services Tax).
eine tax file number braucht man natülich auch. aber die beantragt man ja so und so zum visum dazu.
...weitere infos folgen :-)

RE: Länderberichte AUSTRALIEN:
@Blumentopf; nicht vergessen, Sexwork ist nur in bestimmten Bundesstaaten legalisiert und reguliert. Wie es sich mit Migrantinnen aktuell verhält, die über ein Touristenvisum einreisen oder eingeschränktem "Work on Travel", vermag ich nicht zu sagen. Es macht sicherlich Sinn, sich dazu an Scarlett Alliance zu wenden.
viel Glück und Erfolg!

Elena Jeffreys on whether the Left should support stricter regulation of the sex industry
http://web.overland.org.au/2011/06/elen ... -industry/
Over-regulation is the problem
The argument for increased regulation, and the research it quotes, is based upon advocacy.
The arguments for decriminalisation are based on evidence (Himel 2010).

Arbeitsrechts-Prozess
Erstmals grundsätzlicher Prozess über Sexwork-Arbeitsrechte, weil ein mutiger Sexworker geklagt hat.
Landmark case for the rights of sex workers in Victoria
Written by AUstralian Sex Party | Christian Vega
Christian Vega is a sex worker; a member of Vixen Victoria and the elected representative of Australian Male Sex Workers for the Scarlet Alliance. He also ran as a candidate for the Australian Sex Party in the Federal and State elections.
Thursday, 14 July 2011 10:52
Last year, the Victorian government changed the name of the laws governing sex work
Sex work in Victoria is regulated through stringent laws that are rigorously enforced by Consumer Affairs Victoria and the police. “But these do not protect the rights and working conditions of sex workers,” says Mr Vega. “What we need are laws that reflect the standards that can be expected by all other workers. It’s a form of discrimination that legislation treats sex workers so poorly.”
Mr Vega continues, “Sex work legislation acts as a poor substitute for the laws that form industrial relations and occupational health and safety standards. While the government busies itself with enforcing cumbersome regulations that seek to control the industry the rights of workers go begging.”
He describes examples, “Public servants regularly visit brothels penalising businesses for not having particular laminated signs on display or for having a bottle of champagne in a staff member’s locker while no training or education is being provided for workers nothing is done about licensees that don’t meet actual occupational health and safety standards in the workplace.”
“A clear demonstration of the discrimination created by sex work laws is illustrated by involvement, or lack thereof, of government bodies in the sex industry.” Mr Vega explains, “Because the special laws for sex work are complex and are enforced by Consumer Affairs and the Police, other workplace regulators all but ignore the sex industry.
WorkSafe Victoria and FairWork Australia may be identified as regulatory bodies but are seldom engaged with the industry. As such, sex work laws effectively form a barrier for these conditions to be lifted.”
Mr Vega welcomes the news that a recent case before WorkSafe Victoria of a sex worker claiming compensation regarding an incident in her workplace. “This is a landmark case for sex workers in our state. For the first time sex work is being treated not as some social problem that needs to be managed but as a legitimate form of employment. For once, a government agency isn’t trying to control the industry but is actually working towards protecting the rights of a worker. It must have taken an extraordinary amount of courage for this sex worker to come forward and make this claim.”
“What is clear is that the current regulatory regime is ineffective,” he said. “In order for sex workers to come out and claim their rights as workers they need to be treated as workers. The case before WorkSafe is fantastic but it’s an exception, not the rule, and it’s long overdue. How many other workers have had complaints about working conditions ignored as compliance officers and the police swept in and out of their workplaces? Clearly, the sex industry in Victoria needs to be decriminalised - it’s regulation must conducted by the same workplace authorities as everyone else - not enforcement officers who care nothing about our experience at work.”
Mr Vega emphasises the frustration experienced by sex workers, “We deserve better working conditions. We don’t need more police or doctors or public servants scrutinising our lives and our bodies; we need better rights as workers. We need to be enabled, just as any other worker is, to feel safe and thrive in our workplaces.”

RE: Länderberichte AUSTRALIEN:
Bordell-Skandal bringt Australiens Regierung ins Wanken
Der Skandal um einen Parteikollegen könnte den Sturz von Australiens Minderheitsregierung nach sich ziehen.
Die Polizei ermittelt seit diesem Mittwoch, ob der Abgeordnete Craig Thomson Prostituierte mit der Kreditkarte seines Arbeitgebers bezahlte. Thomson weist die Vorwürfe zurück und beharrt darauf, dass zum fraglichen Zeitpunkt im Jahr 2005 eine andere Person seine Kreditkarte benutzt habe. Die dienstliche Karte gehörte der Gewerkschaft der Gesundheitsdienste, für die er damals arbeitete.
Premierministerin Julia Gillard bekräftigte bei der parlamentarischen Fragestunde, dass sie weiter zu ihrem Parteikollegen hält. Sollte dieser über den Skandal um den illegal finanzierten Bordellbesuch stolpern und für seinen Sitz nachgewählt werden müssen, riskiert die regierende Arbeitspartei ein Mandat, das zählt:
Angesichts ihrer schlechten Umfragewerte dürfte der Sitz an die Opposition gehen. Da sie schon jetzt auf die Unterstützung drei parteiloser und eines grünen Abgeordneten angewiesen ist und damit gerade mal eine Mehrheit von einer Stimme hat, läge die Arbeitspartei nach Verlust dieser einen Stimme gleichauf mit der Opposition. Womit Neuwahlen wahrscheinlich würden.

Regulierungserfolg
Bericht der Prostitution-Lizensierungsbehörde (Prostitute Licensing Authority PLA) im Bundesstaat Queensland (4 Mio Einwohner), Australien:
Rezession nach der Finanzkrise auch im Sexbiz.
Bordell-Markt nur so stark wie in den 20er Jahren.
New trouble for oldest profession
Bridie Jabour
September 30, 2011 - 1:42PM
Sex is not selling in Queensland, with the state's brothels caught in a post-GFC struggle [global finance crisis] against illegal operators as they reach the "mature" stage of their business life cycle.
The Prostitute Licensing Authority have released its annual report to reveal shrinking revenue and a stagnant number of operating brothels.
According to the report, the sector contracted in the 2010/11 financial year with 23 brothels operating in the entire state.
"The licensed sector has matured over its 11-year history and prospects of any further substantial growth are limited," the report said.
"This is demonstrated by the fact that no development approvals for brothels were received by local government in 2010–11.
"The number of brothels in the state is likely to hover around the mid-twenties mark for the foreseeable future."
The report listed as reasons for the poor performance of the prostitution industry:
- "sluggish" retail sector of the economy,
- insufficient return on investment,
- local restrictions,
- competition with illegal operators
- [hier könnte man auch Ehefrauen, Privatdates, ONS und Pornovideos als Konkurrenz erwähnen *lol*].
The authority received $733,598 in licensing fees from brothels in the 2009/10 financial year, but its revenue for 2010/11 was down $172,033, to $561,565.
[Einnahmen eine halbe Milliarde oder 527.774 Euro, d.h. 23.000 je Bordell und Jahr d.h. ca. 2.000 Euro/Monat und Bordell Lizenzgebühr, 66 Euro pro Tag und Betrieb.]
It listed one of its highlights of 2011 as making brothels display two multilingual signs about sex workers' rights and sexual servitude.
The authority also acknowledged the controversial nature of the industry it oversees but stressed regulation was better than open slather.
"The PLA appreciates there is no community consensus on the proper approach to prostitution," the report said.
"Many centuries of human behaviour have demonstrated the impossibility of stamping out prostitution, even if that was considered desirable.
"In this context, the decision to regulate the sex industry is a pragmatic one."

Zonenregelung
Unbrauchbarer Gesetzes-Entwurf wie er für Wien endlich abgeschaft wird, taucht jetzt auf in Adelaide, Süd Australien
200 Meter Sexwork-Verbotszonen um Schulen & Kindergärten (blau) und Spielplätze & sonstige Einrichtungen für Kinder (grün). Wo sollen da Sexworker überhaupt arbeiten können?
In Wien waren es 300 Meter-Verbotszonen (Durchmesser). Sie werden am 1. November 2011 hoffentlich endlich abgeschafft sein:

- If the draft bill that is about to be introduced is successful, sex industry business's would NOT be allowed to operate 200 meters from schools & childcare centres (blue shading) or playgrounds and other children's facilities (green shading) with a penalty of $20.000 for non compliance. So where exactly are we allowed? Hardly anywhere in the CBD. Not exactly helpful, workable or fair.
Write to your local member of parliament and tell them you support decriminalisation, not impossible zoning conditions and excessive fines.

Hooker im Bergarbeiter-Tross
Prostitutes striking it rich in Australia's (coal) mining boom
A new breed of camp follower is reportedly making a killing in the booming mining towns of Australia — call girls arriving from as far away as New Zealand and "making as much money in one or two days as mine labourers earn in a week."
Freya Petersen
November 5, 2011
A polite terms for them would be "camp followers," and they have been a familiar presence in military campaigns and mining camps throughout history.
Camp Followers = Women who do everything from day-to-day chores like fetching water, cooking and laundering clothes to providing sexual services to troops and miners — especially those who've struck pay dirt.
Some are even using the "fly-in, fly-out" method favored by miners who prefer to keep their primary residence in a bigger town or city and only live at the mine site for the days or weeks they're required to work.
The rich pickings up to $2000 a day are attracting scores of women to communities bursting with cashed-up men deprived of female company for weeks.
The women stay for a few days, or weeks, in hotels, motels or caravan parks before flying home or moving on to the next mining town in a circuit.
One enterprising prostitute even converted a stretch limousine for use as a mobile workplace in pub parking lots, according to the paper.
Prostitutes can work legally as long as they don't solicit publicly.
The girls working in Queensland mining areas such as Emerald, Clermont, Dysart and Blackwater reportedly announce their arrival with ads in the local paper.
http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-23.369993,148.577728
The Courier-Mail interviewed three women — one from Brisbane, one from New Zealand and a local single mother of three, all of whom reported easy pickings and high earnings.
The article rightly canvases the downside of such an unregulated commercial sex industry: rising rates of venereal disease being the most worrying.
One enterprising brothel owner in Brisbane offers an alternative of sorts — fly-in, fly-out sex sessions in the safe environs of her establishment, The Viper Room in Brisbane.
http://viperroom.com/blog
It's better for them to fly down here and enjoy time with one of our girls in luxury and in a safe, discreet environment," said Glenn Leeds, co-owner of Brisbane brothel The Viper Room.
"They fly in and out on their rostered time off. It's easy. The clients know that we run a safe business and the girls are top-class. They usually stay twice as long as the average client and if they want to spend the night in the city we can find them accommodation in a quality hotel."

- Sind "hooker" nach ihm benannt worden? Wohl eher nicht
Prostitutes were reputedly among the camp followers following behind marching troops during the American Revolution - the suggestion being that the term "hooker" derives from those women servicing the Army of the Potomac when Union general Joseph Hooker (1814-79) was in command.
[Hebert, Walter H. Fighting Joe Hooker. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1999, p. vii]
However, the term "hooker" was used in print as early as 1845, years before Hooker was a public figure, and is likely derived from the concentration of prostitutes around the shipyards and ferry terminal of the Corlear's Hook area of Manhattan, NYC, U.S.A. in the early to middle 19th century, who came to be referred to as "hookers".
