PNG legalising prostitution debate

Juffa against legalising prostitution

Juffa, in a statement, says this sinister push is ill-founded and disrespectful to the people of Papua New Guinea, especially women.

He states that legalising prostitution is not the solution to the social issues surrounding the activity, and it will only cause greater problems and even encourage it.

PNG’s inability to address growing transnational crime and lack of capacity would only mean that the industry would be poorly regulated. It would certainly be run by organised crime syndicates already operating black market brothels using foreign prostitutes.
