Organizing
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.
