Prostitution Is Not A Crime, It Is A Fundamental Right – Amnesty International by Richhommie(m): 3:51pm On Jul 31, 2015


An Amnesty Coalition has pushed for prostitution to be legalized around the world, with the condition that it should be criminalized when it involves “human trafficking for sexual exploitation” and children.

They stated categorically that every adult has 100% ownership and right to her body and what she does with it.

Marie Claire, an international monthly magazine for women, revealed that Amnesty International group has presented its proposal which calls for the ‘decriminalization of sex work’ and intends to ask its delegates to vote for it.



The Coalition Against Trafficking in Women International (CATW) has in this regard, launched a change.org page, asking delegates to vote ‘NO’ to the discrimination against sex workers.

“Voting to kick off officially tomorrow, August 1st, 2015, but we have gathered over 4,500 signatures,” ” CATW added.

An open letter, signed by more than 400 activists, human rights advocates and celebrities which include stars like Anne Hathaway, Lena Durnam, Kate Winslet and Meryl Streep, questions the issue of consent.

“By definition, sex work means that sex workers who are engaging in commercial sex have consented to do so,” the policy reads.


The open letter refuses to agree with the proposal, because they believe it would “legalize pimping, brothel owning and sex buying”, that it won’t protect prostitutes and would create “gender apartheid,” favouring only sex workers who may choose to leave the industry and hurt women who have no choice.

Please tell them, People have their right naturally from their creator to have sex

As long as it does not come from child trafficking, forced slavery and the woman or man freely choses to do so

but am also of the opinion that it should be heavily regulated just like the porn industry in the US

Both prostitutes, clients and prospective clients must be tested every 2 weeks for a multittude of diseases like HIV, Herpes, Syphillis, Ghonorrea etc

The whole cocktail of diseases must be tested every 2 weeks at a particular clinic

They must also use a phone app to do their business like its done in spain and stop standing on the road
