Although some might say that prostitutes are not exploited but are paid sex workers. For the record, I tend to agree they are exploited, so I can agree with the protestors sentiments.

OTOH, these protestors may be subjecting themselves to exploitation since there seem to be an adundance of men smirking at them and taking their pictures. Well, good luck to them. I know I would be too chicken to do what they're doing. Not just modest, but just chicken. They are brave.
