Annotation 3 -Making effective rules to manage the sexual industry

This is me revised annotation 3

1. I explain the context of the viedo I found which is about the legal official prostitutions in detailed.

2.I also found a regulation on official prostitution  which was published by Taipei government in 1999 to support my idea that having rules to manage is more important than discuss a specific area to manage the sex workers.

3. In the end, I give some feasible schemes to solve the problems.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

  The video(2009, reported on Zhong-Tian news) shows that there are 51 legal sex workers in Taiwan. They have legal licenses to engage in sexual transaction. And they receive the healthy exams every year. So the residents in this area don't worry about this red-light district will bring any problem and discomfort to them.  It also mentions that the sex workers in this red-light district are all over the legal age to engage in sexual transaction, and they don't have any marital relationship with others. Furtermore,  they have to gain there parents' agreement.

  Clearly, through making some restrictions to regulate sex workers, the existence of sexual industry will not be a trouble to the residents near them. Why we are afraid of establishing red-light districts near us? Because we think that it will ruin the morality in society and disturb us in our life. But under the strict rules, the problems that we are worried about can be solved. First, they have legal licenses, it presents that they are in goverment's control. They don't have to meet the gangs' threat, and the public security could also be protected as well. Second, they receive healthy exams regularily to ensure that they are not affected with any sex disease. So not only the sex workers but also the customers and residents don't have to worry about the affection of sex diseases.

  As for the problem of obstructing family or disturbing our life, I find a regulation on official prostitution (1998, published by Taipei government from the website http://coswas.org/www/regulation.htm ) which involves many rules to regulate the sex workers in Taipei before the abolishing of official prostitutions. In Chapter 3, the eleventh, the sixth point, it shows that official prostitutions cannot obstruct family. And the twelevth, the first point says that they cannot solicit in public. Furthermore, there are still many rules to regulate sexworkers in detailed in this regulation, no matter about their health, their age, or the morality of occupation they should have. But this regulation was abolished in 2001. If the goverment focus on the part of "making rules" to regulate the dispersed sex workers rather than establish a specific area, the sex workers can own their right of working, and they would be accepted by the residents near them.

    The government can also give some subsidy mesures to the risidents near them. For example, they can have tax reduction or benefit. And they can possess the free healthy exams once in a year. On the other hand, it is necessary for the government to convene a conference to plain the policies they make to regulate the sexual industry in public. People can through the broadcasting of the conference to understand the laws or rules the governmemt make. This way, people may not worry about the red light districts near their living area after they realize how the government legalizes the sex workers. So the real problem is not whether to establish such a specific area to manage sex workers, the existence of  sex industry in many cities in Taiwan is a truth. Having some effective rules or laws to manage the sex workers and satisfy the residents near them is the most important thing.
