Actually to pick nits, it's 'decriminalising' prostitution and 'legalising' brothels.

Wow, first the brits lowered criminal charges/punishment for pot related "offenses" (some other drugs too, I think) and now this. Good to see progressive ideas being discussed and occasionally pushed thru somewhere at least.

quote: Women who used the zone would have to register at a health centre which would provide access to drug rehabilitation services, as surveys show that in Liverpool 80% of street sex workers are hooked on heroin and 70% on crack cocaine. They would also have access to ways of getting them off the streets and into legal employment and the rest of the city would be zero tolerance.
Of the 50 prostitutes interviewed in the council and JMU consultation project, 90% of them said they would use a managed zone if it was set up.
