Introduction:
Ladies and gentlemen, honorable judges, and esteemed opponents, today we stand in opposition to the motion that sex work should not be legalized in Papua New Guinea.
While we acknowledge the complexities surrounding this issue, we believe that legalizing sex work can offer significant benefits to society, including improved safety for sex workers, reduced stigma, better health outcomes, and enhanced regulation of the industry.
Our position is rooted in the principles of human rights, public health, and social justice. We urge you to consider the positive implications of legalization, not just for sex workers, but for the broader community as well. Thank you.
