Dr. Whitaker referred to Norway, which is considering repealing its law because it is creating greater harm for sex workers. She also referred to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Justice in Oslo. Is it Dr. Whitaker's view that the survey provided evidence to support the view that criminalisation of prostitution is creating more harm for sex workers?
