Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion (Resumed)
4:30 pm
Dr. Kathryn McGarry:
It is an impressive and convincing argument. The Chairman first said those engaging with those services or those who have been trafficked are drawn to those who are most vulnerable. The evidence in Ireland is that much of the vulnerability is visible on the street and a number of people who have been trafficked are indoors. With definitions and everything else, we cannot know for certain how many people are impacted or are victims of trafficking but it is important to note that we need to separate trafficking from sex work.
