In this episode of We The People, we debate the proposal made by the head of the women's panel on legalising sex trade. India's laws on sex trade punish the pimp and the man soliciting but not the woman. Do they need more decriminalisation? A report estimates that India has 20 million sex workers; 16 million of them sold into the sex trade. Would legalising trade empower them?
