Closed Legalise Prostitution - In order to protect prostitutes

Closed on

Prostitution is a burden some people have to bare not only in this country but the world at large...
By legalising prostitution, steps can be made to ensure protection of the prostitutes.
The measures this petition would like to be introduced by the government are:

- Establishment of brothels to create a safe haven for prostitutes to work in.

- Regular health checks of the prostitutes to help prevent and treat any sexual diseases/infections that are present.

- The presence of a security force at these brothels to ensure maximum safety for both prostitutes and clients.

Hopefully these measures, if introduced, will help rehabilitate the men and women forced into prostitution back into society or at the very least, protect them from harm, and reduce the power of the criminals that control them.
