"China's sex industry has proliferated dramatically in the past 25 years. According to conservative estimates, there are six million prostitutes, and a recent study valued its underground sex industry at 30 billion yuan. (Legalise prostitution in China by Edmund Settle, South China Morning Post news; Pg11). Prostitution has grown intensely in China as the policy of repression has grown more than ever. Thus, many people doubt that the present policy is a good way. In Chinese National People's Congress 2012, it was the ninth time the member, Chi Susheng, a lawyer from the northeast China, proposed that prostitution should be legalized. Should we continue the current policy or change another direction to try legalize it?.
There's no doubt that the purpose behind current law is to decrease prostitution. However, as we all know, where there is a demand, there will be a supply.

William A. Darity, Jr. Vol.6. 2nd ed Detroit: McMillian Reference USA, 2008. p557-559.). In China's big cities, there are millions of rural migrant workers away from home sweating for the "workshop of the world." For example, in Guangdong province, there are about 30 million rural migrant workers. While their living status is being marginalizing, their sex demand is also marginalized. .

Defining gender violence as a violation of human rights is a relatively new approach to the problem. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the global feminist social movement worked to introduce this idea to the human rights community and by the early years of the 21st century, succeeded in establishing the right to protection from gender violence as a core dimension of women's human rights.
