Human trafficking
Since there's a separate article on this topic, I'm moving any usable info there and reducing this section to a "see also". TJ Black (talk) 07:15, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I added the content back. Even though an article exists on the topic it does not preclude an overview here. Or, more specifically, it is useful to provide factual information about human trafficking in Turkey direclty related to the prostitution industry with a link to the fuller article with more detailed information on the wider topic. --Errant Tmorton166(Talk) 14:04, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It violates undue weight and NPOV. TJ Black (talk) 04:18, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

The your price i should i eat, not soy beans
Since the cost of a prostitute is the most issueed by the upper europeans, i've to say a slice of toast with cheese next to tea is 2 Euros at the corner büfe, since the food and the the daily home is most valued items in turkey recently and i myself is pure kurdish by blood from a mostly paternal but ethically circumcised by family analysing the events in cumulating wet capitol neutrally on this curent era.

Reversion of undiscussed edit
This is an old argument on WP and I don't wish to start it again, but the term "prostitute" in this article was unilaterally changed to "sex worker" without discussion by Brooke2796 on 7 October 2016 (without any attempt to change the article's title). Brooke2796 made similar changes to a number of other articles, which all appear to have been changed back in the interim. After Brooke2796 was warned on their talk page by Meters that such changes should not be made without prior discussion, they ceased editing WP. The rationale for each of the edits (given in the edit summaries) was: "Changing prostitution to sex work is imperative to fix the stigma against negative biases that are previously associated with this term. ftp://ftp2.allianceantitrafic.org/alliancea/Docs_prostitution_exploitation_trafic/Prostitution%20as%20sex%20work.htm"

The link is dead. The words used would imply that Brooke2796 believes that changing prostitution to sex work is a change that has not yet been made in society, and hence should not yet be reflected in WP. Consequently I have reverted the edit. - Polly Tunnel (talk) 14:17, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Agree with the undo. There is a POV trend on Wikipedia to change all instances of "prostitute" to "sex worked" (and "prostitution"to "sex work") but the terms are not necessarily synonymous. Prostitutes are sex workers but not all sex workers are prostitutes. That's why we have separate target articles for Sex worker and prostitute. The wholesale swapping of the terms can introduce serious errors. If I had notice that this article had been changed when I made my recent undo I would have made restores as Polly Tunnel has done. Meters (talk) 17:01, 19 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I hadn't noticed it either. There is a growing trend amongst academics and NGOs to use "sex worker" for both prostitutes and as a broader term to include strippers etc as well which can be confusing. (I do use "sex worker" myself in articles on prostitution, but only when the context makes it unambiguous.)


 * There isn't a copy of the linked page on the Internet Archive, but on another page from the same site in the archive they state:

We do not refer to prostitution as “sex work” In our opinion, the concept of sex work contributes to legitimize something that our day to day work shows to be closely linked to abuse, exploitation and organized crime. In our region, the vast majority of women who are not held in brothels against their will or who weren’t initially forced into the situation are there due to having no other option in a situation of extreme economic need. A large percentage of victims of commercial sexual exploitation and human trafficking are children under 18 years of age.


 * So I'm not sure what Brooke2796's justification for the change would have been from this site --John B123 (talk) 17:55, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Edit review request
@User:Dwanyewest Previously you seem to have created the article so I request you to review following changes by @ Chidgk1.


 * dif 1134947349, 1134947349 , 1134948430

Personally I have not gone into the details but reasons given in edit summary sound doubtful to me.

My perception is encyclopedia  works on historic details so if any data becomes  old  usually one can change tense from present tense to past tense and at the most add a template requesting update to the article as I added the Update template.

Skeptical of the uncited claim that “laws regulating… harm sex workers more than help them”.
This claim is introduced without context and with no supporting assertion by a reputable source. I'm inclined to think that's a political claim as a result, and would suggest it be removed. Canofpeaches (talk) 14:22, 8 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Don't know if cite 14 Coskun supports it but that is from 2015 so may be out of date anyway. You can tag it as "citation needed" and if no one adds a cite in a reasonable time delete it Chidgk1 (talk) 15:25, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
