    In German, the word prostitute is worded slightly differently from other languages I know, as “someone who is being prostituted”. A passive word, similar to “enslaved person” instead of “slave”. They are victims of circumstance and exploitation.

    We should use a similar words for victims of rent

      I don’t know that word in dept, but there are alternatives that became more popular in recent years, like “sex worker” (Sexarbeiterinnen).
