Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion (Resumed)

2:10 pm

Ms Monica Mazzone:

Sweden was the first country to adopt this model, and other countries, such as Norway and Iceland, have started doing it. We are thinking about it. We hope that if we were to adopt that model, we could then support other countries to do the same.
