Johnny Canuck 5347 Report post Posted June 5, 2013 OTTAWA -- A coalition of groups says it will urge the Supreme Court of Canada to decriminalize the work of female sex workers, while keeping the criminal penalties against pimps and clients. The high court will hold a hearing next week that will determine the future of the country's prostitution laws. The case stems from an Ontario Court of Appeal ruling that struck down a section of the law that forbids brothels, but upheld a ban on communication for the purposes of prostitution, which effectively makes street prostitution illegal. The Women's Coalition for the Abolition of Prostitution is one of the nearly two dozen groups that have been granted intervener status to argue before the court.

fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted June 5, 2013 That group is not actually a good thing. They want to criminalize clients paying for services, in order to pursue an agenda to abolish prostitution altogether. Clients can get charged, sps do not. Right now neither can be charged for the act of paying for sexual services. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
