![]() Sex workers are entitled to equal protection of the law. Criminal law must apply equally in all cases, on the basis of ‘age’ and ‘consent’. When it is clear that the sex worker is an adult and is participating with consent, the police must refrain from interfering or taking any criminal action. ![]() |

That’s what the Supreme Court said in a significant order that recognises sex work as a profession. The Court also said sex workers should not be “arrested or penalised or harassed or victimised” during a raid on a brothel, “since voluntary sex work is not illegal and only running the brothel is unlawful.”
