Should local newspapers stop advertising sex workers?

Sex adverts in local newspapers are fuelling the trafficking industry, according to the Women's Institute.

Some media commentators have made the point that banishing sex adverts from newspapers will only push them online, but the government have asked the WI to write to editors whenever they see a sex advert in a local paper.

What do you think? Will getting rid of sex trade adverts from local newspapers really reduce trafficking, or is the WI fighting a losing battle?

Will it ever be possible to stamp out prostitution, or do these kind of campaigns just push it further underground?

Should the battle against the sex trade focus on those who sell it or those who buy it?
