Briefing Paper 562 – The Decriminalisation of Sex Work by Lois Law

South African law criminalises all aspects of sex work, meaning that both the selling and buying. of sex are illegal. However, on 30th November 2022, Cabinet approved the publication of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Bill of 2022, which deals with the decriminalisation of sex work, for public comment.2 As the Bill makes clear, it will decriminalise sex work only insofar as it relates to the buying and selling of adult sexual services.
