Europe Votes on Penalising Prostitute Clients in 'Nordic Model'
By HANNAH OSBORNE

Mary Honeyball's report into Nordic Model of prostitution voted through European Parliament committee.
The European Parliament's Women's Rights and Gender Equality Committee has voted through a report that recommends the adoption of the 'Nordic Model' of prostitution laws.

Put forward by Mary Honeyball, Labour MEP for London, the report recommends the EU takes on the Swedish model of prostitution laws, which punishes the clients of prostitutes, rather than the sex workers themselves.

The model was recently voted through in the French parliament. Led by Women's Rights Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, the bill means anyone found paying for sex will be fined €1,500 (£1,250) for a first offence. If caught a second time, the fine would be increased to €3,000.

Fourteen of the European Parliament committee members voted in favour of the Swedish model, with two against and six abstentions.

The passing of the vote sends a strong signal in regards to Europe's position on prostitution laws. The report can also now be put forward to the full European Parliament to vote on.

This will take place at one of the Strasbourg plenary sessions in February, most likely during the week starting the 24th.

The Nordic model has proved highly successful in Scandinavia, where countries generally have a high level of gender equality and acknowledge the problems of exploitation within the sex industry. The laws have also been supported by survivors of prostitution and sex trafficking.

Commenting on the vote, Honeyball said: "This is a fantastic outcome. It will form a key part of the sea-change taking place in the way we view prostitution across Europe. We are now a step closer to an approach which recognises the fundamental injustice that takes place when a man buys a women's body.


French MPs Vote to Fine Prostitution Clients €1,500 [VIDEO]
French Vote to Fine Prostitutes' Clients but not Sex Workers
"The majority of prostituted women in the UK are foreign. They are overwhelmingly from poorer countries and in many cases trafficked. Rather than continuing to pretend that buying sex is something that happens between consenting equals, we need to look at the coercive and often exploitative realities of the global sex trade.

"With France and Ireland switching the focus onto the men who purchase sex, and Germany re-thinking its laissez-faire system, the wind is clearly blowing in the direction of the Swedish Model. I hope that the European Parliament will be able to lead from the front in making this shift more widespread.

"The report recommends adopting the 'Nordic Model', which criminalises pimping, brothel keeping and buying sex, decriminalises people in prostitution and provides exiting services and support."

Brendan Wynne, Equality Now

"As a British MEP I am particularly keen to see the UK Government come down off the fence and take a clear stance on the issue."

Brendan Wynne, spokesman for Equality Now, also welcomed the vote: "It is vital that survivors of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation are listened to when recommending policy on prostitution.

"Global networks such as 'Sex Trafficking Survivors United' suggest that we need to target the demand which fuels the inherently violent sex industry. This is what Mary Honeyball MEP's FEMM Committee report proposes and we fully agree. The report recommends adopting the 'Nordic Model', which criminalises pimping, brothel keeping and buying sex, decriminalises people in prostitution and provides exiting services and support.

"This has already been effective in countries with higher levels of gender equality, such as Sweden, while countries which have legalised prostitution, such as the Netherlands and Germany, are increasingly realising that they got it wrong."

ICRSE condemns FEMM support for criminalisation of clients of sex workers. (English)

Amsterdam
24th of January 2014



A backward approach to sex workers’ rights, health and safety now supported by the European Parliament's Women's Rights and Gender Equality Committee



The International Committee on the Rights of Sex Workers in Europe (ICSRE) strongly condemns the European Parliament's Women's Rights and Gender Equality Committee’s (FEMM) recommendation to criminalise clients of sex workers.[1]


Against the recommendations of all sex workers’ organisations in Europe, many health organisations and other civil society groups, FEMM has voted to support a repressive measure that, under the guise of protecting women, will only increase their vulnerability.


We are shocked to see that Mary Honeyball, MEP for London and author of the report approved today, can ignore so blatantly the fact that the criminalisation of clients has not only been ineffective in reducing prostitution and trafficking, but also been evidenced as increasing the vulnerabilities of sex workers. And contrary to the claims of Ms Honeyball, it has also led to the criminalisation of sex workers.


Amongst other evidence, a recent Police report from Sweden mentions that: “In 2009, the National Bureau of Investigation estimated that there were about 90 Thai massage parlours in Stockholm and vicinity, most of which were judged to be offering sexual services for sale. At the turn of 2011/2012, the number of Thai massage parlours in the Stockholm area was estimated to be about 250 and throughout the country about 450.”[2] Such numbers are a clear indicator that the Swedish model has been ineffective in its main mission.


Numerous other reports support this simple fact. In Norway, Pro-Sentret, Oslo’s official help centre for sex workers, published their 2012 annual report with evidence that the numbers of sex workers had not decreased and that the levels of violence against sex workers had not been affected by the law either. This report, based on a survey of 123 active sex workers, also clearly demonstrates that sex workers are now less likely to demand protection from the police because of the increased stigma and the understanding that they themselves are seen as criminals.[3]


A worrying aspect of the criminalisation of clients concerns the health of sex workers, especially regarding HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. It comes as no surprise that in her article in the Observer today, Ms Honeyball completely ignores this question. In France, in the months preceding the vote at the National Assembly, a wide range of organisations denounced the lack of concern of Najat Valaud-Belkacem, the Minister of Women’s Rights, for the HIV epidemic and the central role sex workers are playing in the fight against it. 100 French organisations and another 100 international organisation signed a Manifesto against the criminalisation of clients,[4] including service providers and health organisations, such as Doctors of the World, and of course sex workers’ organisations themselves.


We are staggered beyond belief how Ms Honeyball can so easily ignore recommendations of experts from her very own country, such as those of the UKNSWP, a voluntary sector umbrella organisation with over 60 member projects across the UK, which offer frontline support services to and have direct contact with thousands of female and male sex workers throughout the UK. Their responses to the recent consultation in Scotland on the defeated bill proposal to criminalise the clients of sex workers leave no doubt that social workers and other key actors working with sex workers on a daily basis do not support the Swedish Model:


“Research has shown that criminalisation of either the client or sex worker can result in negative, dangerous and sometimes fatal consequences for sex workers, especially those engaged in street working. In the case of street sex work, criminalisation often leads to displacement resulting in sex workers often working in darker, more dangerous and less well known areas. This increases possibilities of violence and makes those working in street sex industries more vulnerable to exploitation. In the off street sectors criminalisation of clients strengthens the stigma of sex work and sex workers fear that contact with the police and other authorities will bring investigation of them and their clients. This acts as a major barrier to sex workers having the confidence to report any crimes they experience to the police and other authorities. This heightens sex workers’ vulnerability in all sectors: many offenders who target sex workers do so because they believe sex workers will not report to the police. This proposed law will entrench that dynamic further.”[5]


The European Parliament's Women's Rights and Gender Equality Committee is sadly following the same trend of putting ideology before the health and safety of sex workers, and by doing so disregard the diversity of experiences of sex workers and social workers, as well as recommendations of international organisations, such as those published in December 2011 by the UNAIDS Advisory Group on HIV and Sex Work in their report to accompany the UNAIDS Guidance Note on HIV and Sex Work (2009):


“States should move away from criminalising sex work or activities associated with it. Decriminalisation of sex work should include removing criminal penalties for purchase and sale of sex, management of sex workers and brothels, and other activities related to sex work.”


How many more reports and recommendations must be written and published before women’s groups and organisations finally start listening to sex workers? But more importantly, how many of our colleagues must be murdered before you start listening to us? Sex workers have a voice. And we are saying NO to the Swedish Model.


We urge civil societies and European citizens to email their Members of European Parliament. The EU must listen to sex workers. Feel free to use this letter as a model.

Mir macht das alles sehr viel Angst. Nicht, weil ich bei einem Sexkaufverbot meine jetzige gelegentliche Partnerin auf Zeit nicht mehr besuchen könnte, darüber würde ich irgendwie hinwegkommen. Sondern weil dieser Anspruch, für andere festlegen zu wollen, was gegen deren Würde verstößt, Ausdruck eines Staatsverständnisses ist, welches ich absolut nicht teile und das ich als menschenfeindlich empfinde.

TELL THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT TO VOTE AGAINST THE CRIMINALISATION OF CLIENTS

TELL MEMBERS OF EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT TO VOTE AGAINST THE CRIMINALISATION OF CLIENTS OF SEX WORKERS

A guide to action for individuals and organisations

Background:

On the 27th of February 2014, the European Parliament will vote in favour or against a report "on prostitution and sexual exploitation and its impact on gender equality". This report conflates sex worker and trafficking and denies our agency. Though the report mentions our vulnerability to HIV and STDs, it ignores all recommendations from the World Health Organisation or UNAIDS. Unsurprisngly, the main recommendation of this report is the criminalisation of the purchase of sex.

Many organisations in Europe have already signed our statement denouncing this repressive and inneffective measure.

We are asking you to take action and tell your Member of European Parliament (MEP) to vote against this report and against the criminalisation of our clients.

What you can do:



Sign and share the petition: https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/ ... ex-workers


Write to your MEP. If you live in one off the 28 members country of the European Union, you can directly write to your MEP. Below you will find a template letter. You can use this letter or write your own. Feel free to leave or let the ICRSE logo on the letter. You can find your MEP by clicking here: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/map.html. Another example of letter is available here: http://researchprojectkorea.wordpress.c ... x-workers/
Some tips about writing to your MEP

• Personalised letters always have a big impact on policy-makers. MEPs also tend to have
fewer people getting in touch with them than MPs – as a result it may be easier to make
your voice heard.
• You have more than one MEP (between three and ten per region). Therefore you have a
range of European policy makers that you can influence and that are accountable to you!

Top tips for writing your letter

• Do use the letter overleaf as an example, but where possible please don’t copy it word for
word. Your own personalised version will be much more powerful.
• Try and explain why you care about this issue and what you want your MEP to do right at
the start of your letter – use the bullet points as provided at the bottom of the
template letter.
• Keep your letter short and to the point: one side of A4 should be more than enough.
• Remember to provide a postal address and to ask for a response (and please let us know if
you receive one).

Call your MEP. Once you have emailed your MEP, you can also follow this with a phone call so that he/she understand the importance of the question. You can call the Switchboard of the European Parliament, between Monday and Thursday and ask to talk directly to your MEP: + 32 / (0) 2 28 4 21 11


Ask your organisation to endorse our letter. Sex workers' rights, HIV and health organisations, service providers and many LGBT and women's rights organisations, civil liberties and migrants' organisations have spoken against more repressive measures against sex workers. By endorsing this letter, your organisation can demonstrate its solidarity with sex workers and commitment to our struggle. Email info@sexworkeurope.org with name of your organisation, website and country.

Ein Video von Carol Leigh mit Petite Jasmine, die letztes Jahr von ihrem Mann ermordert wurde.

Stigmakills:


Jasmine and Dora 4-Ever
from Carol Leigh Plus 1 day ago Not Yet Rated

In 2012 during the International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC, I met and interviewed Petite Jasmine with Pye Jakobbson from Rose Alliance of Sweden. Petite Jasmine was murdered one year later, a victim of the stigmatisation and legal discrimination that sex workers face. She was an amazing, beautiful, warm and inspiring person. Her observations were profound and her hopeful tone is haunting.

When Jasmine was murdered, a friend of our community, Dora Özer in Turkey, was also murdered, also because of stigma and criminalisation, and in a rash of escalating transphobia in Turkey.

This video chronicles the efforts of our communities to memorialize Dora and Jasmine. We are launching this video on the eve of a debate and vote by the European Union on whether to support criminilisation of clients of sex workers and the buying of sexual services. This system is known as the Swedish Model. According to most researchers, this strategy is greatly responsible for increased violence and discrimination against sex workers in Sweden. But Petite Jasmine will not be that statistic!

Dora Özer was murdered in a wave of attacks against transgender people and especially transgender sex workers. Again, made vulnerable as a result of laws that limit sex workers so severely that vulnerable members of our community are pushed out to the streets with no support. Sex workers around the world are rising up to challenge the prejudice, the violence and all the injustices.

Some might recognise this title from a famous movie in Sweden, Lilja 4-Ever, which invoked stereotypes of sex work. Those who condemn sex workers used that film to proselytise, promoting their anti-prostitution ideology. But our title expresses a new hope. Yes, the victim does exist, but our understanding has changed. The fictional personna is an actual person. No longer will we be victims to prejudice and violence. Sex workers are standing up and speaking out. The whore-as-victim, is not the 4-ever prostitute. Our friends Jasmine and Dora live 4-ever in our hearts and inspire our resistance, courage and honesty. Only rights can stop the wrongs.

343 da für,
139 da gegen,
105 Enthaltungen.
Und jetzt? Ist das bindend, so dass alle Länder nun die Freierbestrafung einführen müssen? Anders gefragt, worüber genau wurde denn entschieden? Tatsächlich schon über ein verpflichtendes Verbot, oder nur darüber, den EU-Mitgliedsländern ein Verbot zu empfehlen?
