  • The Health Implications of Prostitution and Other Relevant Issues
    The Health Implications of Prostitution and Other Relevant Issues By John O’Loughlin Citizens Against Prostitution Team Member Introduction My task was to research the health implications of prostitution. I found a great deal of information that helped me understand the most hotly debated issues on a deeper level, and I’ve tried to organize that information here for you. I do not necessarily endorse all of the sources referenced below, but present them to you so that you may analyze them and draw your own conclusions. All in all, there are a few things I’ve read that ring true to me: • Prostitution is not a monolithic issue. There are many different perspectives on prostitution, and none are either all right or all wrong. • In many, many instances, prostitution can have a very detrimental effect on the prostitute. • There is very little reliable data on prostitution. • Current efforts to fight prostitution have not been wholly successful. • If you are certain that prostitution is a victimless crime, you should read “Challenging Men’s Demand for Prostitution in Scotland”. • If you are certain that making prostitution illegal is the answer, read “Redefining Prostitution as Sex Work on the International Agenda”. What follows is a summary of 27 separate articles that I reviewed in my research. I simply pulled quotes from the articles with no editorial additions, and organized them (coarsely) into four categories: 1. statistical and informational (reasonably even-handed presentations of information); 2. anti-prostitution (basic agenda is to end prostitution everywhere) 3. the “johns” (focusing on the demand side of the transaction) and 4.

  • Tackling Human Trafficking
    Tackling Human Trafficking – Consultation on Proposals for a UK Action Plan January 2006 CONTENTS Foreword . 2 Executive Summary . 3 Introduction . 5 Prevention of trafficking . 8 Investigation, law enforcement and prosecution . 11 Providing protection and assistance to victims . 15 Summary of proposed actions . 19 Annex A – Relevant international instruments . 21 Annex B – Consultation questions . 22 Annex C – Partial regulatory impact assessment . 23 Annex D – Consultation code of practice . 29 Annex E – Responses: confidentiality and disclaimer . 30 1 FOREWORD BY HOME OFFICE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE PAUL GOGGINS MP AND SCOTTISH EXECUTIVE MINISTER FOR JUSTICE CATHY JAMIESON MSP In 1807 Parliament passed The Slave Trade Act, bringing about the abolition of the slave trade in the former British Empire. 2007 will see the bicentenary of that landmark Act. While we are preparing to mark this historic event we must recognise that there is another challenge facing us in today’s modern world. Thousands of people are still forced to live in slavery type conditions around the world, including in the UK, as a result of the modern criminal practice of trafficking in persons. Human trafficking is a truly appalling crime where people are treated as commodities and traded for profit. It is big business, often controlled by organised crime groups who seek the maximum return for their investment at the expense of the health and wellbeing of their victims. Traffickers prey on the vulnerable and normally dupe them into travelling to the UK with promises of work or of a better life. It is not until the person arrives here that the reality of their situation hits home and they find themselves being exploited and abused at the hands of the traffickers.

  • Scotland) Bill (2)
    Response from English Collective of Prostitutes to the Criminalisation of the Purchase of Sex (Scotland) Bill (2). “The elimination of poverty must be a priority for all those working for equal rights for women”1 “Safety is paramount.” The English Collective of Prostitutes is a self-help organisation of sex workers working both on the street and in premises with a national network throughout the UK, including in Scotland. Since 1975 we have campaigned for the decriminalisation of prostitution, for sex workers’ rights and safety, and for resources to enable women to get out of prostitution if we want to and to prevent anyone being driven into prostitution by poverty or other violence. We work with anti-rape and anti-poverty campaigners and organisations which oppose immigration and welfare policies that impoverish women to the point of destitution and make us more vulnerable to attack. We oppose anti- trafficking laws because they have been used primarily to deport immigrant sex workers, and to justify raids and prosecutions of sex workers working consensually. We co-ordinate the Safety First Coalition which includes distinguished members like the Royal College of Nursing and Women Against Rape, and spearheaded the campaign against the 2009 Policing and Crime Act which under the cover of criminalising clients, increased the criminalisation of sex workers. Q1: Do you support the general aim of the proposed Bill? Please indicate “yes/no/undecided” and explain the reasons for your response. No, we do not support the general aim of the Bill and we do not accept the stated reasoning behind it.

  • Sexual Exploitation and Prostitution and Its Impact on Gender Equality
    DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR INTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT C: CITIZENS' RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS GENDER EQUALITY Sexual exploitation and prostitution and its impact on gender equality STUDY Abstract The objective of this briefing paper is to provide background information drawn from the international literature on sexual exploitation and prostitution and its impact on gender equality in relation to the report of the Women’s Rights and Gender Equality Committee. The study concentrates on the debate on whether prostitution could be voluntary or has rather to be regarded in any case as a violation of women’s human rights. It also presents an overview of the policies on prostitution in the Member States as well as four case studies: Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden. Conclusions are presented with the view to enhance the debate.

  • Consultation on the Criminalisation of Sex Work in Scotland Equally Safe
    Consultation on the Criminalisation of Sex Work in Scotland Equally Safe Submission by Dr Anastacia Ryan Dear Scottish Government Justice Department, I would like to take this opportunity to express deep regret over the confined framework within which this consultation is taking place. The consultation extends from current Government policy as set out in ‘Safer Lives, Changed Lives’, and the subsequent ‘Equally Safe’ Strategy, which notably underpins the evidence presented in the consultation document and the arguably biased and leading questions proposed. The resultant framework and limited consultation narrative represent a missed opportunity for much needed discussion and debate on the Scottish Government’s approach to prostitution policy more broadly. The limited, exclusionary and ideologically-driven understanding of prostitution in Scottish Government policy more generally and in this consultation; fails to recognise the heterogeneous experiences of people in Scotland who sell and/or exchange sexual services; denies the agency of women, men, cis and trans persons; renders invisible actual acts of violence and exploitation occurring in the sex industry; continues an ineffective and dangerous reliance on criminal justice approaches that fosters unsafe working practices and deters victims of actual violence to seek redress, and perpetuates a misplaced moralistic agenda in supporting sex workers at the expense of a much need social justice and public health approach in policy and programmes, that centres the varied needs of people this consultation states intention to support. Moreover, the overt focus within policy and the Equally Safe strategy on ‘reducing demand’ fails to address the root causes and factors that exacerbate the vulnerabilities of women and girls to violence, which extend far beyond the narrow focus on eliminating prostitution as a means to achieve gender equality in Scotland.
