Brazilian Prostitutes Open New FM Station

Well, this is an interesting venture into the world of broadcasting. It seems that a group of sex workers in Brazil have gotten permission from their government to start their own FM radio station by the end of this year.

The spokesman Sandro Correia explains just what their efforts may yield:

"We are not going to apologize for prostitution but we are going to struggle for the dignity of the profession," Correia told Reuters.

The aim was not to attract women to the business. The station will feature programs about the trade but will also discuss issues such as human rights, social questions, and sexual abuse, Correia said.

"The idea is that we have diverse programs that look at health issues,
AIDS prevention, and racism, for example," he said.

Hmmm... I wonder if I could translate my resume into Brazilian! Clearly they could use a strong opinionated radio broadcasting veteran to point the way for them!
