Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Dr. Teresa Whitaker:
Mr. Anand Grover visited Ireland on 19 December.
He is the UN special rapporteur. He said that India has managed to turn things around. For example, its sex workers are now using bottles and condoms, there is less stigma attached to it and so forth. They say that where it is criminalised, it is driven underground. They are looking at it globally.
