January 30, 2003 Tragedy in Cape Town brothel emphasises prostitutes' cry for help! The recent incident in a Cape Town brothel accentuates Doctors For Life’s (DFL) evidence submitted to the Constitutional Court. In the submission DFL suggested that social structures be put in place for the rehabilitation of people involved in prostitution. The incident also demonstrates DFL’s opinion that prostitution and crime are inseparably connected - especially prostitution, drug abuse and protection rackets... Whichever way it may be, real help is not to legalise this inherently harmful and abusive trade, but rather to help people get out of the business.
