Gaye Dalton Biography
- Title:
- Former sex worker
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should Prostitution Be Legal?"
- Reasoning:
-
“I cannot understand why any form of criminal sanction should be considered applicable to the voluntary sale and purchase of sexual services in 2016. This is clearly a private matter in which the state should not seek to legislate…
Criminalisation does not help people get out of prostitution and legalisation does not trap them in it.
As a society we can choose whether to make it easier for people to escape prostitution or whether to make life harder for those trapped in it.
I have always believed that any person selling sex has a right to demand whatever resources it would take for them to leave prostitution into a situation that they can realistically thrive and grow in.”
