I might be stupid, but can someone explain why sex workers are decriminalized while buying their services isn’t? I don’t get the logic behind only punishing one party involved in the transaction. Note that I’m not against sex workers at all; I’m just confused about the logic.
Because sex work being criminalised can prevent sex workers from feeling safe going to the police if they get assaulted in their like of work, and can also prevent trafficked people from coming forward.
