For these purposes, an ‘experts’ meeting’ was formed with lawyers, scholars, and activists under the sex and human rights committee of KWAU. The experts’ meeting in preparation for the draft bill investigated and researched international conventions related with sex trafficking and prostitution by the UN and examples of legislation in each country and conducted a survey of prostitutes to reflect their views in the Act.

It is the rights of the marginalised and of the minorities in the country today that are in peril. The challenge is to empower the poor and marginalised to demand their rights and participate in the public sphere.
