Petition Crimilisation of clients who buy sex

More details

Call upon the Government to follow the example of Sweden, Norway, Iceland and France to criminalise all clients of sex workers, meaning anyone who buys sex from any kind of prostitute would face a prison and a fine as any visit to a prostitute encourages slavery and trafficking.
