Decriminalization of Prostitution

Decriminalization of prostitution means removing legal penalties for sex work, allowing individuals to operate without fear of arrest or criminal charges. It shifts the focus from punishment to regulation, aiming to improve safety, health, and human rights for sex workers. Unlike legalization, which often imposes strict rules, decriminalization treats sex work as a valid occupation within existing legal frameworks. This approach can reduce stigma, improve working conditions, and help combat exploitation, while still addressing public health concerns. Overall, it seeks to balance individual rights with societal interests more effectively.
