The blow left Harriet with permanent brain damage; for the remainder of her life, she would suffer periods of unconsciousness...

Because women are the main targets of exploitation, it has become a women's issue. Because it is often the minority hookers who get caught first and suffer the most from economic and racial discrimination, civil rights activists have become interested in the movement.
