What would be consistent in our advocacy for the repeal of the laws because of the framework that we feel underpins them and the challenges that they pose as a whole.... However, if the committee is debating particular provisions, I would agree with our colleagues around the provisions around communication, advertising, the things that pose barriers to working with supportive third parties.
At the same time, the provisions around clients are extremely complicated. In work led by Dr. Krüsi, for example, participants' quotes literally said, when you criminalize the client, it's exactly the same thing as criminalizing the sex worker. By failing to repeal that provision, we're sort of stating that we're wishing to perpetuate the previous laws that were struck down, because that's essentially what the research showed that particular provision has resulted in.
I think it's a challenging question, but those are my perspectives based on the scientific evidence.
