| Alliance For Digital Freedom And Rights | 20 | No | This bill is extremely dangerous: sex work cannot simply be erased by decree. Criminalising sex workers would expose thousands and thousands of now-free women to exploitation, the menace of pimps and illegality. Not to mention the lack of health checks, especially against STDs, currently performed by our public hospitals. This reform is not only wrong: it’s cruel in its cluelessness. |
| Labor League Of Saxenheim | 0 | No | This bill harms sex workers whom are already marginalized in society. |
| Left Forward | 21 | No | The safety of people engaged in sex work must be the top priority. This means stricter regulations where necessary, appropriate oversight, and decisive action against violence, coercion, and exploitation. Women and men who work in this industry should be able to seek help without having to fear the police themselves. However, criminalizing their work is the wrong way to achieve this. Pushing sex work into an illegal market does not make those involved safer. It can leave them with fewer options and make them more dependent on pimps, criminal networks, and others who are willing to exploit them. We should take action against those who use violence and coercion, not against the people who need protection from them. A regulated system offers those involved better opportunities to work safely and gives the government far better means of identifying exploitation when it occurs. |
