Do Prostitutes Want Prostitution Legalized

Linda Sullivan: I think that legalising prostitution is going to be a state-by-state choice. If the States want it to be tolerated, they will have to study some key points: what is the revenue that is going to be generated for the State; what are the consequences; whether and how much it is going to cause traffickers to be prosecuted; can we really control the demand And if we are controlling the demand and we are legalising something, then we are allowing it to be a legitimate business, so who is going to monitor it as a legitimate business? That is a big change for any State to take on. Hopefully, if they do make those decisions, they will do it intelligently they will analyse the question, not just propose it because somebody wants to be elected. If you cant access income assistance or in this province if youve been on it for two years and you cant get it any more, it means you have no money. You cant rent an SRO, a ten foot by ten foot room. Unlike in the States, Few said, the Dutch love their prostitutes and speak highly of them. Because clients are criminalized in both indoor and outdoor settings, every location where sex work happens is a target for law enforcement. This ignores the evidence in the Bedford case that highlighted how working in an indoor environment can be safer than working in outdoor settings. The new advertising provision has also impacted sex workers, despite the immunity given to sex workers advertising their own services. Sex workers cannot hire webmasters and third parties to help with their advertising, and most importantly, sex workers cannot openly communicate about or advertise their services which evidence in Bedford clearly demonstrated to be a hazard to their rights.

Catholics Speak Out, Quixote Center, Brentwood, MD, USA Brothels have been allowed in Nevada since the middle of the 19th century. One brothel in has been in business since 1902. In 1937, a law was enacted to require weekly health checks of all prostitutes. In 1942, President issued an order to suppress prostitution near military basesaffecting the of and. When this order was lifted in 1948, Reno officials tried to shut down a brothel as a public nuisance; this action was upheld by the in 1949. In 1951, both Reno and Las Vegas had closed their red light districts as public nuisances, but brothels continued to exist throughout the state Mr. Garth Barriere: I cant say that the use of the criminal law against sex trade workers has no value at all. I know from a criminal lawyers perspective, a defence lawyers perspective, that one of the easiest probation orders to breach is a probation order that you attend for counselling or assessment. There are just hundreds if not thousands of charges laid like that every year, and people are prosecuted for it. It seems to me to continue to criminalize, to use the criminal law to try to get somebody the help they need, and then to criminalize them when they fail to get that help is not a solution at all. How to get individuals the assistance they need is a difficult question. I would submit that the use of criminal law is inappropriate. I think weve heard evidence to the contrary, that this problem does not go away by our just tossing the courts and police out of the picture. Bruckert, Chris et Tuulia Law.

The US Army had clear instructions on those who did not follow the no indulgence rule. US Army regulations required soldiers who admitted to having sex while on leave to submit to chemical prophylaxis, that included irrigating the penis. Soldiers who did not report for prophylaxis and later contracted VD were subject to and possibly a hard-labor sentence, while those who contracted disease after treatment only lost pay during treatment. Implemented from the first day of training, the initiative was so successful that US Army doctors reported that 96 of the cases they treated had been contracted while the soldier was still a civilian. When a customer feels stigmatized because he has paid for sex, he is too embarrassed to seek out health care. This impacts on his emotional and physical health. This stigma will also affect the health of the sex worker, his wife or girlfriend, and his other sexual contacts. So women in this context had to be more or less passive and without any desire. But most of all, it tells German wives that-based on the fact that 23ds of German men have visited a brothel at least once, and that 1,2 million German men buy sex everydaythey better accept that their partner may be visiting prostitutes, and not make a fuss about it. They better accept that their sons, when they reach 15, will be taken to a brothel by their pals. That their husbands may routinely meet their co-workers at a brothel, to discuss some work problem or just for a drink. They should know that he might have sex without a condom with prostituted women as well as with them. These German wives married to punters are called SchattenFrauen women in the shadow. German women know that they better not stroll in some areas because they are going to be harassed like if they were prostitutes. Women who go out with female friends to a bar will be the target of heavy harassment by men, unlike in countries like Sweden where this is not acceptable. Generally, the male treatment of all women is affected if prostitution and pornography are socially condoned. To give an example, there is hardly any young woman who has not been asked by a male sexual partner to accept to perform a sexual act shown in pornography. Since prostitution and pornography show women as products to be bought or sold at mens will for mens pleasure, they unavoidably re-enforce the basic misogyny and contempt for women which is the cornerstone of patriarchy.
