Thank you for that. I appreciate your being candid.
Dr. Abel or Dr. Armstrong, I'd like to ask you a question from the research you've done and from the extensive experience you have. You've clearly indicated that decriminalization will result in healthier and safer sex workers. Will you please share any work you have with the committee?
Can you comment on the harassment from the public and the stigma of sex workers pre- and post-decriminalization, based on your understanding from any research you have done?
