En ny rapport från FN, Eliminating discrimination against sex workers and securing their human rights, manar länder runt om i världen att avkriminalisera prostitution. De noterar särskilt att det inkluderar sexköpslagar av svensk modell. Deras slutsats skriver bland annat:
Vilket genomslag kommer detta få i den svenska debatten? Har exempelvis några medier tagit upp detta? De som vanligen rapporterar om vad FN kräver av oss i allehanda frågor är förvånansvärt tysta nu. Vad tycker ni själva? Håller ni med om rapportens innehåll och slutsatser?
The Working Group considers that there is now sufficient evidence on the harms of any forms of criminalisation of sex work, including criminalisation of clients and ‘third parties’ related activities. It notes the growing consensus by international human rights and other international bodies on full decriminalisation of adult voluntary sex work, as well as the advocacy of sex workers rights movements for this approach. Whilst not finding it necessary to define sex work and noting the different experiences of diverse women and persons, it proposes full decriminalisation of adult voluntary sex work from a human rights perspective, as it holds the greatest promise to address systemic discrimination and violence and the impunity for the violations of sex workers’ rights.Människorättsgruppen Human Rights Watch har också skrivit om rapporten (Landmark UN Report Calls for Sex Work Decriminalization).

Jag har fått information angående att en inlaga i linje med FN-rapporten skickats från FN till den Europeiska domstolen för mänskliga rättigheter (ECHR), som ska pröva sexköpslagen efter klagomål från franska sexarbetare. Inlagan måste betecknas som blytung, och den är fullspäckad med källor.
Här är inlagan (amicus curiae brief) till domstolen:

UN expert welcomes European Court decision to hear appeal against French anti-prostitution law
GENEVA (5 September 2023) – A UN expert today welcomed the decision by the European Court of Human Rights to hear an appeal against a French anti-prostitution law, warning that criminalising sex work obstructed the right to health, particularly for sex workers.
“Sex work is real work,” said Tlaleng Mofokeng, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health, who submitted an amicus curiae brief in the case brought to the European Court by French and foreign sex workers. “My hope is that the future ruling on this law by the European Court of Human Rights will be based on international human rights and standards,” Mofokeng said.
