Prostitute looking out window, Washington Street, Boston, 1968 Alex Coles-BFA Ryerson University, Toronto, ON, Canada For that reason, we favour the abolition of prostitution and urge the committee to work toward creating legislative changes and socio-economic conditions that will allow women to escape prostitution. Prostitution relies on and perpetuates conditions of inequality for women. Prostitution is actually the buying and selling of human beings. We have no interest in moving towards legitimizing this practice. Celeste Pang-Freelance Bookkeeper, Vancouver, BC, Canada jean tardieu finish vos phrases ou une heureuse rencontre

The temporary residence permits are supposed to be attractive to non-native prostitute-leavers. The permits can be renewed, but only for a time. Eventually the foreign women who enter an exit program will be deported. Lise Tamm, the Stockholm International Prosecutor advising the French Parliament, claimed that, in Sweden, most girls want to return to their country. Some do, no doubt, but many have risked a lot and endured hardship to get away from their homes of origin. They do not want to go back. Even so, they cant stay in Sweden: Having been the victim of a trafficking network is not enough to be regularized, notes Tamm. The same will be true in France. Thus, how attractive prostitutes find Frances exit routes will depend on the degree of their desire to go home as much as on their desire to be free of onerous conditions.

Selon une estimation de 2000, lapplication des lois sur la prostitution coûtait environ 180 millions de dollars américains par an. Les coûts de traitement associés à chaque arrestation atteignent les milliers de dollars, en plus des coûts substantiels associés à lincarcération. Les prostituées représentent au moins le tiers de toutes les détenues aux États-Unis. Beaucoup de ces femmes appartiennent à des minorités visibles ou sont des immigrantes.
