Right to health and criminalization of same-sex conduct and sexual orientation, sex-work and HIV transmission 2010, para. 33
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The trafficking and enforced sexual slavery of any person is abhorrent, and undoubtedly merits criminal prohibition. However, the conflation of consensual sex work and sex trafficking in such legislation leads to, at best, the implementation of inappropriate responses that fail to assist either of these groups in realizing their rights, and, at worst, to violence and oppression.
