Legalization of Prostitution

Legalization of prostitution involves officially making sex work legal and regulated by law. This allows sex workers to operate in designated areas with oversight, aiming to improve safety, health, and workers’ rights. It distinguishes between legal, regulated sex work and illegal activities like trafficking. Supporters argue it reduces stigma, enhances safety, and ensures access to health services. Opponents often cite moral concerns or potential for increased trafficking. Overall, legalization seeks to create a controlled framework that protects both workers and the public, balancing individual freedoms with societal interests.
