Even more

Fiddling around on the net today has brought about some very interesting info. Some of the stuff I found has resulted in new links over there on the right side of the page, and some I'll just list here. I am hoping that putting some of the resources for women I found may help someone in a situation they desperately want out of.

Some local stories have been done concerning the park and surrounding area.The Register-Guard had a story recently about the park entitled "Neighbors reclaim park from drug users, crime". Granted, it was horrendously worse a couple of years ago, but by no means has it been "reclaimed". At its best it is a cease-fire out here.

This photojournalism piece tells the story quite a bit better that the R-G did. UofO student Kai-Huei Yau put together an excellent commentary on the issues surrounding the park.

Interesting story from the R-G. This HIV+ ex-prostitute dude from NOLA comes to Eugene and turns his life around. Very positive tale. If this dude can straighten his shit out, so can anyone featured on this site.

Other items I have found:

The DC US Atty's office has come up with some really cool programs to address both the supply and demand side of the issue: The Prostitution Intervention Program.

The links page from Tampa, Florida's Southeast Seminole Heights offers some really interesting ideas.

Take it easy and have a great Thanksgiving.
