Response to the Prime Minister´s remarks that decriminalisation of prostitution should be looked at – ECP
ECP hopes this means that serious consideration will finally be given to decriminalisation and to New Zealand where it has been successful. Many women have been stigmatised, discriminated against, suffered rape and other violence and even have been murdered because the laws have segregated and persecuted them.
It is time to prioritise women’s right to safety and respect. Decriminalisation would acknowledge for who we are, women like otherwomen, primarily mothers, trying to make a living.
