for decriminalization: abolition v legalization For the past 26 years we have been campaigning for decriminalization, that is the abolition of the prostitution laws which criminalize sex workers and our families. We oppose the introduction of special laws which under the guise of legalization segregate and institutionalize sex workers in prostitution and make the State the pimp. Toleration zones do not get rid of the stigma attached to prostitution and often make it more dangerous for us to work.
