Campaign To Change Prostitution Law Launched |
|
A new campaign seeking public support for a change in prostitution laws begins today.
Turn Off The Red Light, the billboard and social media campaign, wants to see a change in the law, criminalising the men who pay for sex rather than the prostitutes.
It is made up of a coalition of over 50 organisations, including trade unions, representative bodies, political parties, human rights groups and victim support networks.

"The opportunity for change is now and if we let it slip by it may not re-occur for decades to come."
The billboard campaign coincides with an August 31 deadline for written submissions to the Dail Justice Committee on whether vice laws should be changed.
