A debate over how to reform Malta's prostitution laws rages on despite the bill outlining the proposed reforms still awaiting publication. This week, two groups of NGOs have argued over whether to fully decriminalise sex work - or to instead make the sale of sex legal but target the buyers. Rosianne Cutajar was spearheading the reform but has temporarily resigned over her links to Daphne Caruana Galizia murder suspect Yorgen Fenech. She has previously indicated her support for full decriminalisation and in the summer a report on the reform was finalised but has yet to be presented to parliament. Currently, prostitution in the form of an agreement between two people that includes the exchange of money and takes place in a private place is not a crime.However, loitering, soliciting in public and living off the proceeds of prostitution is illegal.
