Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion

4:40 pm

Sr. Síle McGowan:

The International Labour Organization definition of decent work, which has been endorsed by the international community, is productive work done by women and men in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. Decent work involves opportunities for work that is productive and delivers a fair income; provides security in the workplace and social protection for workers and their families; offers better prospects for personal development and encourages social integration; gives people the freedom to express their concerns, organise and participate in decisions that affect their lives; and guarantees equal opportunities and treatment for all. From all that has been said thus far in this discussion, I think I can say it is not decent work.
