Petition Change UK Prostitution Laws to be in line with Norway, Sweden, Ireland, France.

The laws around prostitution in the UK are inefficient. Decriminalisation zones are proven to be ineffective, as demonstrated by the murder of Daria Pionko that took place in Leeds, December 2015. Laws around prostitution are in urgent need of reform to ensure this industry doesn't continue to grow.
