Sex workers representatives call for legalization of prostitution in Thailand

Bangkok, Jun 13 (EFE/EPA).- Sex workers representatives' demonstration called for the legalization of prostitution in Thailand.

The Thai government has pledged to legalize the prostitution after the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security drafted a bill to protect sex workers and regulate the profession in a bid to save sex workers from being exploited.

In Thailand sex workers were fightings for their basic and occupational rights protection for decades but under the 1996 Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act which enforced sex work a crime. (Camera: RUNGROJ YONGRIT).
