The prostitution, an issue that questions us, annoys us and it involves first of all as women
surfing the net and here are two pieces on the same day and the opposite direction, I offer them in reflection:
Punishing the customer. The Swedish road
10 years old by the law on prostitution never approved the most innovative in the world, Sweden is doing to deal with the results and look at the same time raise awareness of its model abroad. Often, especially in Italy, is still regarded as a kind of extravagance Nordic, if not as a means failure.
There is no doubt that the choice of the customer to declare punishable and to consider instead the woman as a victim had spilled a logic has always been oriented to criminalize prostitutes quiet and let their users. Even more difficult to digest the reasons for that choice, set out in Article 1 of the Act: "Prostitution is a form of violence of man toward woman." Behind that text was in fact the development of feminism with the Swedish, able to influence public opinion and to work even within the parties, in particular in the social-democratic, and within institutions. There was a parliament where women's representation had increased to 45 per cent and where the themes of women were at the center of discussion and innovative research. As recounted in an interview with Gunilla Ekberg, the feminist lawyer who had worked on the bill "until at one point had considered prostitution as a phenomenon in itself. The breakthrough came when we realized that it was instead a form of male violence towards our sex. " Had led to this result not so much the theoretical analysis, because many studies and researches made in previous years on prostitutes in Sweden. In all their stories, in one way or another, there were family child abuse, rapes suffered by family friends or classmates or conditions of extreme hardship and social exclusion. In other words, they were very rare in the context of Swedish women who were free of prostitution a way of life. And so the text that prohibits "the purchase of sexual services, even criminally punishing those who buy sex but not the one who offers it and who is considered one victim to protect and help.
We do not have pimps. We have not suffered violence during our childhood, or after the rest. We are not drugged. We have never been forced into prostitution. We have not post-traumatic distress. We are not unhappy. Yes, we have a love life. We have friends and lovers. We are committed to combating discrimination. They fulfill a stigmatized. We chose this profession. We want the same rights as others. We're whores and we're proud "provides the 'manifesto' pride of prostitutes just published in France. Proud to be whores ( landing dinghies & 12 €) is a book that debunks the stereotypes that in turn indicate a form of enslavement in prostitution, a social evil, to handle emergency as public policy. A book written by two prostitutes, Mistress Nikita and Thierry Schaffauser the highlights of a movement that calls for respect and rights for men and women who have chosen to follow the world's oldest profession. "It soon becomes clear by reading the first pages of this book that we are not in the theoretical field of social anthropology, but in daily practice that sees / sex workers manage to cope with what is a real crime-attack against the state of their - writes in the preface Covre Pia, a member of the Committee for Civil Rights of Prostitutes (CDCP) - The direct and straightforward language that Mistress Nikita and Thierry Shaffauser use to describe how they decided to take the floor and start a fight against the security law, discrimination and the stigma of the 'whore' has a powerful effect. It is a clear and lucid indictment of those who have political responsibility and governance of a social phenomenon, prostitution, and in France since 2003 has been the focus of Sarkozy's policies on security. In France since 2003, as in Italy today, they feed fears, creating an artificial enemy, then you answer created social insecurity.
