Take action today to end exploitation and violence against women and girls in the sex industry

Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013

The prostitution of women and girls constitutes a fundamental violation of women's human rights and a serious form of male violence against women. It is the view of the NWCI that prostitution is incompatible with equality for women. The NWCI believes that the introduction of legislation to criminalise the purchase of sex whilst at the same time decriminalising those who sell sexual acts and offering support services to people in prostitution is the only viable way to work towards an end to this exploitative industry.
