Hello, I'm Adakiko. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Saeed Hanaei seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 11:39, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi! I'm fairly new to editing Wikipedia. I felt it necessary to change the wording specifically because it is reflective of a narrow and rather partisan view on the social phenomenon of prostitution that is a poor fit for this specific article. In common speak, "work" implies a legitimate and voluntary activity (as opposed to, say, "theft" of "slave work"). For most people on Earth, this is simply not true about prostitution. Without going into legislative differences, it can be said that prostitution is an illicit activity in most of Earth's societies. Second, "sex work" does not reflect the social realities under which the murders took place. Prostitution is definitely illegal, definitely rarely voluntary and definitely considered immoral in contemporary Iran. Calling the victims murders carries the implication that they were murdered for something that was their personal choice and something they could've elected not to do.
