One of the greatest parts about studying prostitution and the sex trade is the exposure to a wide variety of opinions and experiences. We were able to hear from former prostitutes, the police, political parties, non-profits, and even a frequent customer. Being exposed to each viewpoint and experience has forced me to struggle in the best possible way with what I believe and has opened my mind to a social milieu that is often forced to the fringes of society. ”
