Dear Portfolio Committee on Employment and Labour,
Criminalizing sex work needlessly fills jails with consenting adults who wish to participate in sex for monetary gain. It spends more money than needed when we could use it for other things. Instead, decriminalizing sex work allows for more tax revenue, more healthy work regulations, and a better environment for sex workers.
I agree with the notion of removing the restrictions on adult sex work and maintaining the criminal nature of sex with children and mentally disabled adults.
