The Antigua Sun reports that the Evangelical community across the Caribbean is deeply concerned about the proposal to license sex workers in the region for the Cricket World Cup.A statement issued by The Evangelical Association of the Caribbean urges that:
* Prostitution not be decriminalised in the Caribbean for the Cricket World Cup or at any time.
* Legislation throughout the region dealing with violence against women be strengthened to include prostitution as violence against women and criminalise the men who seek to abuse and exploit women in this degrading manner.
* All Caribbean governments commit to practical steps that would alleviate the economic pressures on women who are forced to degrade themselves through this violent, unhealthy, and spiritually destructive "trade."
