Legalization of Prostition
Clip: 8/31/2015 | 10m 2sVideo has Closed Captions
We discuss the pros and cons of legalizing prostitution in light of Amnesty's resolution.
Human rights organization Amnesty International is calling for the decriminalization of all aspects of prostitution – from sex workers to brothels to buyers. The group has been studying the issue for the past two years and believes legalization will help make sex workers safe from abuse. But some human rights groups believe the move will make prostitutes even more vulnerable to exploitation.
