Vice girl, social pariah, the victim who “asks for it”-these are some of the stereotypes about prostitutes. Rape, beatings, and abuse are often seen as inevitable, almost justified, hazards of “the lifestyle.” The murder of at least six prostitutes in Glasgow over the past nine years has been met with a resounding silence. Their deaths are not deemed worthy of major news coverage. Only when “ordinary” women are attacked does such violence become noteworthy.
