Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion (Resumed)

2:50 pm

Dr. Teresa Whitaker:

We commend Ruhama; we need more organisations for those women who want to exit and who have been coerced or pimped into this work, for women who need counselling and who have been traumatised by prostitution. It is very important to have an organisation like Ruhama. On the other hand there are women who simply want the right to work and that is a very different group of people. It is a few years since the committee went to Sweden-----
