Sex work is grave criminal activity and leads to covaried abuses and terrible harms. There must be an increase in prosecution and destruction of these heinous crimes. Criminalizing the sex trade will also increase interventions for such victims in healthcare, mental healthcare, and social services.
It should be as much about criminalizing those who partake of the services rather than the women or men forced to take part look at turn out the red light campaign. Untill those who pay for these services arevpenalised little can be done to address this whole area.
Criminalizing transactional sex compromises public health intervention efforts and drives the practice further underground. It makes sex workers even more vulnerable to infectious diseases, violence, and gender-based discrimination. This is clearly and unequivocally supported by the existing literature.
