Councillor for Equality, Eulalia Moreno, explains that if you talk about sexual abuse, sexual violence or sexual exploitation for commercial purposes, are inevitably subject to a criminal practices and unbearable suffering for children.
Sexual exploitation is an insult and an assault on the dignity and fundamental rights of children, he adds.
Prostitution is a form of exploitation to be abolished and not a profession to be regulated because it is a deviolencia form of géneroextrema: "What prostituted women and men have to endure equivalent to what in other contexts would correspond to the accepted definition sexual abuse and repeated rape. Does the fact that an amount of money paid can transform this abuse into a "job", which you will want to give the name of "sex work"?
The mayor indicates that regulate prostitution is tantamount to accepting a model of asymmetrical relations between men and women;
establish and organize a system of subordination and domination of women, nullifying the work of several decades to improve the struggle for women's equality.
In addition, he says that if we really want to build a society where equality we have to focus measures on laerradicación demand through the complaint, prosecution and punishment of prostituidor (client) and the procurer: Sueciapenaliza men who buy women or children for the sex trade, with imprisonment up to 6 months or a fine, because it typifies this crime as "paid violence."
The mayor points out that, in any case, is directed against prostituted women, nor is it intended its penalty or sanction because prostitution is regarded as an aspect of male violence against women and children.
He also notes that one of the ways to visualize or bring prostitution is through advertising in the media, if we really speak out against this form of sexual exploitation must be eradicated once and for all advertising of such activity, media, either locally, where it has recently been going on for some weeks, regional and national level.
From the city of Totana you are going to start a campaign to locate and close down any local or spaces where they are producing this type of activity.
