Dear Portfolio Committee on Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development,
Sex working is one of the oldest careers known of & we would really appreciate the decriminalization of consensual sex trade.
Coming from a disadvantaged background has honestly opened my mind and my eyes to the reality of our survival, needs and what leads to sex trade.
I am from a kasi in Gauteng and I hope you take action to protect sex workers from the risks and pressures of working the streets by passing a law/s against criminalization of sex work .
Many families in South Africa are supported by this industry, raised , schooled, clothed and feb by survival money made from the sex trade industry. Decriminalization of sex work will bring back the dignity and respect women deserve for all the sacrifices and hard choices they're forced into.
