Show Notes
Former SNP minister Ash Regan, now an independent, criticizes her old party for rejecting her bill to criminalize buying sex in Scotland. The bill aimed to protect sellers, mostly women, while making purchasing sex illegal. Regan dismisses the governments reasons for rejection, suggesting personal grudges may be involved. She highlights the extreme vulnerability of people in prostitution, citing statistics showing high rates of child entry, trafficking, addiction, violence, and mental health issues. Critics argue the Nordic-style model may drive the trade underground. Regan, undeterred, pushes forward with her campaign, vowing to keep advocating for the bills goals.
