After Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Canada, Northern Ireland and France, Ireland adopts the legislation that removes the offence of soliciting and ends the impunity of the sex-buyers by criminalizing the purchase of sex act. The Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2015 was passed last night by a majority of parliamentarians. The Scelles Foundation is pleased with this new abolitionist victory and welcomes the associations, activists survivors, parliamentarians and civil society organizations that have succeeded in achieving this result after years of struggle.
