Should the sex trade be legalised?
In the past few decades, the operations of sex workers have created many problems for nearby residents.
These residents have had their lives disrupted. Some of them have been mistaken for prostitutes and this has led to them being victims of sexual harassment over a long time.
It must be frustrating for residents when they see no improvement in this state of affairs in the areas where they live.
Also with an increase in the number of sex workers, we are now getting websites where prostitutes advertise their services. These websites encourage more people to get involved in jobs related to what the sex workers do.
Not only does prostitution encourage immorality, it adversely affects the harmony and social cohesion of our society.
Also, their customers can often be bad-tempered and violent. Arguments can break out between the prostitutes and their clients, forcing the police to intervene. This places an unnecessary burden on police officers.
