Jurisdictions where voluntary prostitution is legal to provide or procure, have increased rates of illegal sex trafficking compared to jurisdictions where it is illegal. Criminalizing it from the demand side has much the same effect as a total ban, while also protecting vulnerable sex workers.
- DangitBobby 3y agoI just don't buy that paying for sex should be criminal. And it takes two sides to make a market.
- gostsamo 3y agoYes, but in many places the prostitute is not a side in the transaction. Google human trafficking.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoThis law will do nothing to combat human trafficking. The best ways to help human trafficking exist mainly in the places people are trafficked from, not to. Equal rights and access to education, suffrage and work for women is a good start. General societal development helps.
- gostsamo 3y agoGo implement them there. In the meantime, do not punish the victims here.
