Com o mundo sempre a girar e a revelar-nos novas surpresas, cada dia relembra-me uma novela muito popular que foi transmitida na TV durante muitos anos. Na novela, as provoca\u00e7\u00f5es e adversidades dos relacionamentos eram um desafio infind\u00e1vel para a forma como vemos o mundo. Hoje, a realidade das novelas abrange s\u00e9rios ataques \u00e0 nossa estabilidade mental por parte de for\u00e7as pol\u00edticas e uma d\u00favida intermin\u00e1vel acerca do que o amanh\u00e3 nos ir\u00e1 trazer. <\/b><\/p>\n

P<\/span>ondo tudo em perspetiva e analisando as for\u00e7as corrupt\u00edveis que atacam o nosso bem-estar, tudo se resume \u00e0 mosca no cabelo de Mike Pence durante o debate com Kamala Harris, a 7 de outubro. Uma pequena mosca domina os media, o que confirma que pouco da sua mensagem deve ser levada a s\u00e9rio. <\/span><\/p>\n

Esta semana, o Mil\u00e9nio Stadium explora um aspeto da sociedade que representa uma parte importante na vida de muitas pessoas, mas que \u00e9 convenientemente ignorado. Os profissionais do sexo e a prostitui\u00e7\u00e3o s\u00e3o temas sobre os quais as pessoas preferem n\u00e3o falar. Milhares de homens e mulheres trabalham neste ramo e enquanto a sociedade se preocupa com os trabalhadores do setor autom\u00f3vel, os trabalhos e os ganhos dos trabalhadores sexuais s\u00e3o ignorados. H\u00e1 muito a ser discutido, mas existe um certo desconforto, por parte do poder estabelecido, em discutir esse assunto. O com\u00e9rcio sexual inclui muitas formas e \u00e9 um neg\u00f3cio que cria um lucro superior a qualquer outra forma de entretenimento \u201cleg\u00edtimo\u201d. Na sua maioria, a prostitui\u00e7\u00e3o tornou-se virtual, onde sites pornogr\u00e1ficos e sites de encontros for\u00e7am a maioria dos clientes no sentido da clandestinidade, criando assim uma sub-sociedade onde o controlo dos trabalhadores sexuais e dos seus chulos e organiza\u00e7\u00f5es criminais for\u00e7am muitos para um ambiente semelhante a uma pris\u00e3o. <\/span><\/p>\n

O Canad\u00e1 legalizou a prostitui\u00e7\u00e3o, contudo, apesar da vasta hist\u00f3ria dos trabalhadores sexuais, ainda existe uma haste moral no seu traseiro metaf\u00f3rico sobre ser considerado uma profiss\u00e3o. \u00c9 legal vender sexo no Canad\u00e1, no entanto, promover servi\u00e7os sexuais, pagar por esses servi\u00e7os e viver dos ganhos da venda sexual s\u00e3o ilegais. Porqu\u00ea legalizar algo e implementar barreiras onde a proibi\u00e7\u00e3o de muitos aspetos cria um ambiente onde \u00e9 necess\u00e1rio secretismo e a prote\u00e7\u00e3o dos potenciais clientes?<\/span><\/p>\n

O neg\u00f3cio de com\u00e9rcio sexual ir\u00e1 existir sempre. Os trabalhadores sexuais precisam de prote\u00e7\u00e3o sob todas as leis do Canad\u00e1; contudo, nunca ir\u00e1 acontecer porque os governos n\u00e3o est\u00e3o a receber as receitas fiscais que \u201clegitimam\u201d estes neg\u00f3cios. As pr\u00e1ticas predat\u00f3rias de homens e mulheres que controlam v\u00e1rios aspetos do com\u00e9rcio sexual resultam em v\u00edtimas que sofrem abusos indescrit\u00edveis. A prostitui\u00e7\u00e3o, num formato aceit\u00e1vel, \u00e9 um servi\u00e7o necess\u00e1rio que satisfaz as necessidades de muitas pessoas. Numa sociedade que, por diversas raz\u00f5es incluindo sa\u00fade mental, dificulta a aceita\u00e7\u00e3o de que os nossos corpos funcionam de maneiras espec\u00edficas, demonstra que a presta\u00e7\u00e3o desses servi\u00e7os \u00e9 essencial. <\/span><\/p>\n

A mudan\u00e7a das leis pode fortalecer os trabalhadores sexuais e os clientes, que poder\u00e3o exigir melhores condi\u00e7\u00f5es de trabalho e pode iniciar uma mudan\u00e7a cultural que altere a forma como vemos as pessoas na ind\u00fastria do sexo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Esta segunda-feira (12), celebra-se o Dia de A\u00e7\u00e3o de Gra\u00e7as. Agora mais do que nunca temos de ser agradecidos por termos sobrevivido a todos os desafios impostos na nossa vida. \u00c9 tempo de refletir e reavaliar. Aqueles que contribuem para as nossas vidas de uma forma positiva devem ser valorizados por partilharem a sua vida connosco. <\/span><\/p>\n

Feliz Dia de A\u00e7\u00e3o de Gra\u00e7as.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t

Is Sex, Work?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

As the world turns and reveals new surprises, each day reminds me of a very popular soap opera which ran on TV for many years. On the soap opera the trials and tribulations of relationships and its effects were a never-ending challenge to how we view the world. Today\u2019s soap opera really encompasses serious attacks on our mental stability by political forces and the never-ending doubt about what tomorrow will bring. <\/b><\/p>\n

T<\/span>aking all into consideration and analyzing the corruptive forces that attack our well-being, all was summarized by a fly on Mike Pence\u2019s hair during the debate of October 7th with Kamala Harris. A little fly dominates the media confirming that very little messaging should be taken seriously.\u00a0 <\/span>This week\u2019s Milenio Stadium explores an aspect of society that plays a part in many people\u2019s lives but it conveniently ignored. Sex workers and prostitution are subjects that people would rather not speak about. Thousands of women and men work in this field and while society worries about auto workers, the jobs and earnings of sex workers are ignored. There is much to be discussed but there is a certain discomfort by the establishment in debating these issues. The sex trade encompasses many forms and is a business that creates revenues which exceed any other form of \u201clegitimate\u201d entertainment. Prostitution has for the most part gone virtual where sites for porn and dating forced most of its clients underground creating a sub-society where control of sex workers by pimps and criminal organizations force many into a prisonlike environment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Canada legalized prostitution, however, despite sex work\u2019s lengthy history, it still has a moral rod up its metaphorical rear end about the profession. Selling sex is legal in Canada, however, advertising sexual services, paying for those services and living off the material gains from selling sex are illegal. Why legalize something and implement barriers where prohibition of many aspects creates an environment where secrecy and protection of potential clients is necessary?<\/span><\/p>\n

The business of sex will always exist. Sex workers need protection under all laws of Canada; however, it will never happen because governments are not getting the tax income that \u201clegitimate\u201d business are creating. Predatory practices by men and women who control most aspects of the trade result in many falling prey to unspeakable abuses. Prostitution in an acceptable form is a necessary service which fulfills the needs of many. In a society which for a variety of reasons including mental health issues complicates acceptance that our bodies function in specific ways, the provision of these service is essential. <\/span><\/p>\n

Changing laws can empower sex workers and clients to demand better working conditions and it may start a cultural shift that changes how we view people in the sex industry.\u00a0 <\/span>Forcing prostitution underground and making these workers feel sub-human is not a way to resolve a problem which will become more convoluted and dangerous.\u00a0 <\/span>This Monday is Thanksgiving Day<\/a>. Now more than ever we have to be thankful for having survived the challenges being imposed on our lives. It\u2019s time to reflect and reassess. Those who contribute to our lives in a positive manner should be thanked for sharing their life with us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy Thanksgiving Day. <\/span><\/p>\n
