The girls, if you were wondering, are professional dancers, not hookers. Stop the Traffik, the group behind this little stunt, works to raise awareness of human trafficking, rather than prostitution specifically. I have no idea if the crowd on the street were all genuine passers-by or not, but I'd like to think at least some were window shopping, and that the stunned silence at the end was actually the sound of thoughts being provoked.
Whatever you think of the ethics of using scantily clad dancers to make a point about prostitution, I think it's safe to say the internet coverage if not the actual event has raised awareness of the issue.
