Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion (Resumed)

4:40 pm

Dr. Kathryn McGarry:

In my research nobody mentioned career choice. This is one of the arguments that comes up repeatedly. Can sex be work and can we call it sex work? I am not here to answer that. I am certainly not here to endorse or advocate sex work. In an ideal world we would like to hope that prostitution should not be an option for somebody to go out to work. There should be a range of options and nobody's autonomy should be limited in terms of that being the only choice somebody has available.
