The director of the Women's Aid Foundation, Shen Mei-chen, thinks that prostitutes not only go out and sell their bodies and their dignity, but that their income is seriously exploitative, and the existence of licensed prostitutes becomes camouflage for illicit prostitution. Abolishing licensed prostitution not only preserves people's dignity, but also, at the very least, decreases the number of prostitutes and of people who frequent brothels.
婦女救援基金會董事長沈美真認為，娼妓不只出賣肉體和尊嚴，賣淫所得還會被嚴重剝削，而公娼的存在又將娼妓合理化，甚至成為私娼的掩護所，設公娼並無法解決娼妓問題，只會製造更多問題；反之，廢公娼不但維護人性尊嚴，也多少可減少娼妓和嫖客人數。
