A coalition of women’s groups and gender experts are once again calling on junior minister Rosianne Cutajar to criminalise sex buyers and decriminalise prostitutes, in a forthcoming reform on sex work.
Empower, a coalition of women’s organisations supported by former President of Malta Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, wants Malta to adopt the Nordic model, which decriminalises the seller and punishes buyers of sex.
