Cyp, With due respect, I don't think the issue is either of *money* or of *getting rid of Baina*. These are complex social issues; try to delve deeper into the work done by groups like ARZ, understand their point of view, see what is behind the problem at Baina, don't stigmatise the women in prostitution but look at the forces that make this possible...
After that, it is everyone's responsibility to work towards a solution. I really don't believe it's as simple as paying to get rid of the problem. Was reading a book about the porn czars of London. The vice industry, with its huge margins, is a powerful one. Could we fight it by pouring in money, even assuming that is possible?
