There was an HN article recently linked that talked about one of those religious based charities. They hired the women on as house cleaners, paid minimum wage, deducted room and board. The poor matriarch of the program had to "deal" with the profits from the cheap labor and fund raising.

One could make the same argent about mill or mining work. Maybe even the military? I don't think the adult entertainment industry averages 22 suicides a day.

But those professions are OK because they're reputable?
