我是很支持的，尤其是在当今中国很多移民工人，而且短期内不会大该变的情况下，娼妓－－尤其是下等娼妓－－的存在几乎是必然的（南部非洲已经有例子了），社会舆论赞成也好，鄙视也罢，该变不了多少，唯一能做，就是在这局面下我们能避免多少痛苦与损失。
刚好Helen Epstein的旧文居然是免费的，大家不妨一读。

"What all these regions have in common is that they send large numbers of migrant workers to South Africa. Some of the migrants pick up jobs on plantations and construction sites, and others become involved in prostitution and petty crime. However, the most fortunate migrant workers are miners with jobs on the Witwatersrand gold mines in South Africa. During the past century, the rural provinces of Mozambique, Botswana, South Africa, and Lesotho have sent millions of mine workers to the Witwatersrand. Today, about 300,000 work there, some 40,000 from southern Mozambique alone. The miners sign yearly contracts, and may spend twenty years or more as migrant laborers traveling back and forth between the mines and their rural farms, hundreds of miles away. The migrant labor system in southern Africa has been blamed for many of the region's ills, including the disruption of family life and rural underdevelopment. Now it is also being blamed for the spread of HIV.[1] The long absences from home, the tedious, dangerous work, the drab anomie of life in all-male miners' hostels, the gangs of prostitutes clinging to the chain link fences around the mines— are all believed to contribute to miners' higher risk of HIV infection."
