Calls for lessons on prostitution

19 February 2026

'Children should be taught about prostitution in school sex education lessons to warn them about the dangers of exploitative affairs with men, according to local authority chiefs.
Research shows many girls who end up selling sex were introduced to prostitution by someone they regarded as a boyfriend rather than a pimp.
Girls may first be introduced to hard drugs and then, once they become addicted, their 'boyfriend' will suggest sex work as a means of funding their habit.'
