Sex work and brothels in Armenia should be legalized, as a result of which several issues connected to human rights would be resolved, says Mikael Danielyan, head of the Yerevan-based Helsinki Association for Human Rights.
Speaking to Epress.am, Danielyan said that often it is law enforcement officials who are at sex workers’ back and if the industry was legalized corruption risks could be avoided. Legalization would also allow those working in the industry to form trade unions, as is the case in some countries, and it would be possible to defend the rights of sex workers. Furthermore, legalization would allow for safer services as sex workers could undergo routine check-ups without the stigma attached to their profession.
