I am aware that prostitution is not legal everywhere the forum members live. However in my state in Australia prostitution in licensed brothels is legal, while 'street-walking' is illegal.
However I read an article by a RMIT academic advocating my state go the way of Sweden in making it illegal for people to purchase the services of prostitutes, as long as it being illegal to prostitute. This academic argues that if my state took the Swedish approach it would help to reduce the amount of trafficking in women.

I wanted to ask if you believe both sides of prostitution (both selling and buying) should be outlawed by the government. I am undecided on this issue, however I can see if the government bans something, it sends a message to the general public that it is not morally acceptable and vice versus.
