The Johns, Sex for Sale and The Men Who Buy It by Victor Malerek. Chapter 16 is about FOPP. My favorite quote from this book is “Prostitution is the oldest oppression!”
Refuse to Do Nothing by Shayne Moore and Kimberly McOwen Yim. I learned from this book that there are 27 million people being trafficked globally, 80% are women and children trafficked for prostitution.
Paid for, My Journey Through Prostitution by Rachel Moran. I cried my way through this book. She really captures what it feels like to be prostituted. She felt raped on a daily basis while engaging in prostitution. She got out. She helped change the laws in Ireland to “Criminalize Demand”.
