Notes

  1. The anti-prostitution pledge requires recipients of US development aid to sign a pledge stating that they have an explicit policy opposing sex work and that they do not promote the activity or advocate for its legalization or decriminalization, but rather its abolition (for more on this see Ford, Lyons and van Schendel 2012; Sandy 2012).
