Debates are good and extremes of view are good. I hope we will arrive at an in-between position which is good for everybody. What is bad about decriminalising the person who has to engage in prostitution? What is bad about criminalising the buyer, the person who says "There is a price on your body"? What is bad about criminalising a boyfriend who will force a girlfriend to go out to work? What is wrong with respecting the voices of people who work with the victims and who have heard the voices of the victims?
