US Yes To Mumbai's D Bars Closure

Condaleeza Rice backs the Mumbai ban on dance bars.

An official report released by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice applauds the Maharashtra Home Minister’s order to close down dance bars. “Many of these served as prostitution and trafficking outlets,” the state department report said.

The US hopes that the closure of dance bars may check a new trend of traffickers favouring this “more sophisticated and concealed format for selling victims trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation over more blatant brothel-based trafficking”.

Obviously the US has neither prostitution nor trafficking.
