Żminijietna - Voice of the Left supports the Law Students Associations' proposal for legislation to regulate prostitution, which entails making prostitution subject to employment and taxation laws.  Under Maltese law, it is illegal to force anyone into prostitution or to live off of earnings earned through prostitution. The law prohibits loitering and soliciting, as well as the forcing of minors into prostitution.

"For most persons, prostitution may not be a choice but a burden imposed by family ties or the need to sustain themselves in extraordinary situations, such as substance abuse. Others may find it hard to get proper employment due to poor levels of education and lack of skills. The entrance into prostitution increases exposure to higher health hazardsand violence from pimps or clients. In other circumstances, women found culpable for a crime committed in the past leaves them with a criminal conduct that makes it hard for them to join the regular labour market".

Żminijietna feels that the decriminalisation or legalisation of prostitution will be a step forward in the safeguarding ofthe health of those involved, as well as of their clients, by reducing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases throughlegal provisions for the use of contraceptives and other preventative measures."The regulation of prostitution would also help to ensure that all aspects of the health of sex workers and their clientsare considered, whilst helping to keep any black market for the provision of sexual services, whether voluntarily or through coercion, to a minimum. Rather than being punished, women forced into such a lifestyle should be educated and led to gainful employment".
