Sex workers is such a terrible terminology for women servicing the needs of the male population, during the war they were called "comfort women" which sounds so much more appropiate.
I must put it to the Australian Bishops Conference, who have had dealings with this sort of thing, whereby in Victoria at least, so Peter Costigan tells us, an extention was built onto the old St Vincents Hospital, for women in situations by clergy.
I'm sure they would never have been labelled as "sex workers", although doing the same job., with a different outcome of course, as we don't believe in contraception.
