Irish author Rachel Moran takes a stand against the prostitution establishment. Her brilliant and internationally acclaimed report, now available for the first time in German, exposes the romanticized notions of the self-determined prostitute. It criticizes a false liberalism in prostitution legislation that makes it impossible to effectively protect women from entering an exploitative trade. Moran speaks from personal experience; as a homeless young person, she fell into the spiral of prostitution and was only able to free herself seven years later. As a survivor, she has escaped this parallel world and now provides us with insights into a destructive lifestyle in her book. With the sensitive perspectives of someone who has lived through it and the virtuosic command of language of a trained journalist, she leads us into the depths of this issue.
