106 Maggie HaysThe Swedish law is the best legal approach to prostitution.
107 angelicai was a prostitute for 10 years and some of that time was spent without a pimp. Selling your body day in day out is so not easy for your mind, body or soul. But to do it under duress and be treated as a slave - i would rather kill myself!!!!!! Its not right and something has to be done, and if that means makiing prostitution illegal, whatever it takes surely?

109 Anber RazProstitution is violence against women. Unless the issue of demand is addressed women and girls will continue to be abused. Please do something to stop it.

112 Anoushka Fernandes-VidalThis government must follow the swedish example in order to make society sit up and realize that prostitution is an abuse of women and that women must not be a commodity to be bought and sold at the whim of men.
113 Tamsin WrightThe majority of women involved in prostitution have no choice, for them i sign this petition. Educate our young people on why men and women are becoming involved in prostitution and the violence ( emotional, psycholocical and physical) that they face daily and maybe they will think before buying porn magazines, buying street sex when drunk, going to Amsterdam on stag/lads week ends, abusing women girls and boys while "on business" abroad. Even better show the channel 4 documentry "hardcore" at parents meetings at every UK school so that adults get the message too.

130 Anonymous"I would argue that not only is prostitution a very dangerous and violating experience for those unfortunate to be directly involved in it, but that it both highlights and perpetuates the position of all females in society. It is not simply the numerous and horrendous acts of violence that women in prostitution suffer that makes it abuse, it is the very act of women's bodies being bought and sold by men that sustains the subordinate position of women and children on a global scale" - Julie Bindel It's about time recognition of women's personhood became part of the global human rights agenda. Criminalising johns is a good place to start.

133 Clint HoughAs with drugs, the problem is not removed by attacking the supply but by reducing the demand. If it is illegal to both supply and use drugs, this should also be true of prostitution. However, there is a far more humanis element attached to the latter as it is likely that drug dealers generally choose to do this whereas I believe that a large proportion of prostitutes are forced to do it - probably most usually by men. Please get the priorities right for a change.
134 Nicola EadyThis change is is long overdue!

140 Pauline JonesI think the Swedish law is a much better option than legalising prostitution.

143 Vicky FlanaganThe laws surrounding the sex industry are based on out of date notions of morality and tradition. This is not only perpetuating the stigma towards women working in the industry but also leaving them an easy and vulnerable target. Whether one agrees or disagrees with the essence of prostitution one must not bring moral dilemmas into the issue of safety, rights and justice which these women not only deserve but should have as a human being.
