3:00 pm

One of the criticisms of the Swedish model is that it would drive prostitution underground and put women in more danger. A criticism of our existing legislation is that while a woman on her own in her own accommodation can sell sex legally, a number of people co-operating cannot, which puts women involved in prostitution in danger. They are much safer working with one or two others in a house. What is the Doras Luimní view of these two criticisms?
