Australia New South Wales Explains Why Legalising Prostitution Works

If it works elsewhere, why can't it work here?

Prostitution is legal in Canada with some boundaries.

Usually the debate seems to be around regulating the industry.

While sex work is not a criminal activity, it is criminalized. It's virtually impossible to be a sex worker without breaking the law.

Please can you provide an example or clarification to your statement. Are the boundaries of legality onerous and contradictory to make any form of sex work impossible without breaking the law ?

I should clarified that I meant safely. Incalls = bawdy house. Outcalls = not as safe and you can't even hire a driver or person to help keep you safe because if you do, they're "living off the avails." If you follow the letter of the law, it can be a matter of balancing obeying the law with your own safety.

I'd be willing to bet that 90% or more of sex workers here on CERB are breaking some form of the law.
