One of the concerns that we've heard in this committee, as we've been reviewing our legislation, is what I consider a conflation between human trafficking and sex work. There's this constant argument being made that somehow they're one and the same, and that legislation like ours needs to be kept in place in order to prevent human trafficking.
Can you speak to New Zealand's experience around how sex work is treated by way of decriminalization, and how human trafficking is dealt with?
Maybe I'll start with Dr. Abel. I would like to hear Dr. Armstrong's perspective on that as well.
Thank you.
