Prostitution an ‘Egregious Violation of Human Rights’—UN Special Rapporteur

By Naureen Hossain
UNITED NATIONS, Oct 3 2024 – Reem Alsalem, the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls, calls prostitution a “system of violence” that does not benefit society at all, especially the women and girls forced into this system.

Alsalem spoke at the Roosevelt Public Policy House in New York on Wednesday, October 2, to discuss her special report in which she posits that prostitution is a form of violence against women and girls. The report was first made public in June 2024, where it was presented to the Human Rights Council in Geneva. Over 60 member states endorsed the report and its findings, including but not limited to Ghana, South Africa, Egypt, Norway, Sweden, Colombia, France, Bangladesh, India, and Nigeria.

Alsalem received over 300 submissions for the report from multiple stakeholders, including civil society groups, academia, experts, policymakers, and, importantly, women from around the world with lived experience.

Across the world, the exploitation of women and girls through prostitution and sex trafficking is a pervasive issue that threatens their safety and rights. Alsalem remarked that many systems of prostitution are built on patriarchal norms that position the abuse of power at the hands of mostly men, who are largely the ‘buyers’ or the profiteers in the sex trade. Deeper economic inequalities and the complexities of emergency humanitarian situations have only further displaced women and girls from systems that would have protected and empowered them.

Alsalem remarked that efforts to normalize or recognize prostitution as a form of labor, such as referring to it as “sex work,” do more harm by gaslighting the women who have experienced it, and it fails to consider the serious human rights violations that can occur within the system, such as the physical and psychological harm they experience under this umbrella of “labor.”

Pornography should also be classified as a form of prostitution and violence against women at large, according to Alsalem. She noted that its proliferation has only normalized acts of violence and harmful attitudes towards women and girls. Alsalem told IPS that the online platforms that host pornographic material only further incentivize and promote these acts and other forms of coercive and nonconsensual sexual acts.

Regardless of the platform, how it is branded or how one enters the trade, the system of prostitution is based on the commodification of the body to undergo physical activity and under that there cannot be consent, Alsalem argues.

“Trying to pretend that there is somehow consent in prostitution, that women want to do this, is actually meaningless in context like prostitution because the concept of consent is actually not relevant when there are systems of exploitation and violence,” she said. “And when the term of consent is being weaponized while we fully know that whatever notions of agreement that women may have—or at least some of them—is extorted through physical coercion, manipulation, and violence.”

When it comes to the legal frameworks around prostitution, this also reveals the contradictions within countries on the letter of the law versus its regulation in practice. The report indicates that under certain approaches, little is actually done to de-incentivize “buyers” or “organizers” in engaging in prostitution systems.

Criminalizing prostitution is more likely to punish the prostituted persons through persecution and incarceration, social ostracization, and even further abuse at the hands of law enforcement. In fact, under this approach, it is rare that the ‘buyers’ are punished or that the third parties are held accountable. Under the regulation approach, legal prostitution ensures control to the state through commercial establishments and federal or national laws, including tax laws that they profit from, often at the expense of the sex workers. Decriminalizing prostitution allows for all parties to operate without the fear of persecution; however, this has also resulted in an increased demand, and it does not stop exploitative parties from profiting off vulnerable women and girls and leading them into the sex trade.

The report speaks in favor of the abolition approach, otherwise known as the “Equality model” or the “Nordic model.” Under this model, third parties (the ‘organizers’) and the buyers are criminalized for engaging in the buying and promotion of sex, while the sex workers do not face criminal persecution. Instead, more investments are made in exit pathways for sex workers to ensure alternative work, economic stability, housing, and support to address trauma and even substance abuse where needed. In the report, Alsalem notes that the Nordic model maintains the international standard on sexual exploitation and trafficking in persons by criminalizing third parties, and that it recognizes the majority of prostitutes are women and girls.

This approach could have its limitations, however, as one report from the London School of Economics (LSE) notes that sex trade legislation still varies across the different countries that implement this model, the safety of sex workers remains uncertain and they still face the risk of policing. For migrant sex workers, their status prevents them from accessing social protections, and under immigration laws, prostitution can be grounds for deportation.

The issues present in the current legal models for prostitution reflect some of the institutional structures that maintain the status quo where sex workers are exploited and left unprotected. At the same time, they also reflect a wider cultural issue on how prostitution, and more broadly, sex, is discussed and perceived.

“In addition to being a human rights violation that needs legal solutions, what is mentioned very clearly in the report is that we are dealing with a cultural issue,” said Taina Bien-Aimé, Executive Director of Coalition Against Trafficking in Women. She added that other acts of violence against women, such as intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and harassment, are now recognized as forms of abuse.

“But for some reason, because money is exchanged in prostitution, somehow it is seen outside of the context of male violence and discrimination, particularly against women and girls.”

In her report, Alsalem offers recommendations to governments on how they can reshape their legislation and policies on prostitution towards a direction that is more conscionable of human rights and that centers the experiences of the women and girls who are forced to participate. Governments also need to take measures to address the root causes behind prostitution and the factors that leave women and girls at a higher risk of it.

“The importance of this report is in its recommendations as well, where the Special Rapporteur is asking jurisdictions and member states around the world to find legislative and policy solutions to this egregious human rights violation,” said Bien-Aimé.

When asked to elaborate on the steps that need to be taken by international actors like the United Nations, Alsalem referred to the recommendation that UN agencies should also adopt a rights-based approach to prostitution. Alsalem commented that she had reached out to several UN agencies. In particular, she is having “continuous conversations” with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO), on her recommendation for these agencies to conduct studies into the wider impacts of prostitution on survivors within their focus of health and labor.

Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) such as the Frontline Women’s Fund, and local civil society groups play an important role in spotlighting the issue. Alsalem told IPS that they need to come together to listen to the survivors of prostitution, as well as engage with all actors working on the matter.

“We see that in decision-making places, including governments, parliaments, whenever the issue is discussed, the law is being prepared or the policy is being revised, some have privileged access to these decision-making places, and that can be those that are advocating for full legalization of all aspects. Whereas those that are advocating for the abolition model… cannot get the same access, and that includes survivors.”

Human Toll on Lebanon Under Threat of Israeli Invasion

UNITED NATIONS, Oct 3 2024 – On September 23, Israel began launching a barrage of airstrikes on Lebanon, targeting the Iran-backed militant group, Hezbollah. According to statements from the Israeli Defense Force (IDP), approximately 3,600 sites have been struck, making this the deadliest aerial campaign on Lebanon in the last 20 years.

Reports from the Lebanese government indicate that the recent attacks have killed at least 1,400 people, including high ranking Hezbollah officials Hasan Nasrallah and Nabil Kaouk. In response, Hezbollah launched a series of rockets and drones into Israeli bases, with most being intercepted. As recently as October 2, the group launched a missile strike on an Israeli military base near Tel Aviv.

The death toll is projected to rise as bombings continue with no indication of a ceasefire. Yesterday on October 2, Israel launched a ground invasion on southern Lebanon’s borders, deploying around 10,000 troops to move north.

Hilal Khashan, a professor of political science at the American University of Beirut, adds that Israel’s attacks on Lebanon are in an attempt to weaken Hezbollah responses for a ground invasion with little opposition.

“Once they [IDF] feel that they have softened Hezbollah’s resistance sufficiently enough, they will wage their ground offensive. They are focusing on Hezbollah’s strategic assets,” he said.

Entire residential blocks in Beirut have been decimated, forcing thousands out of their homes. The United Nations reports that approximately 900,000 people have been displaced, with 260,000 internal displacements and 100,000 displacements to Syria. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stated that mass displacements are expected to rise in the coming days as the IDF has issued evacuation orders in 30 villages in south Lebanon between yesterday and today.

Additionally, medical facilities in Lebanon struggle to assist on the frontlines. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicated that over 30 primary healthcare centers in highly affected areas have been closed due to damage and insecurity.

Mohamed Arkadan, an emergency responder in Lebanon, stated, “About a dozen apartments had collapsed onto the hillside [we] once overlooked, burying more than 100 people”. Arkadan and his team pulled over 40 bodies from the rubble, which included those of children.

The attacks took a significant psychological toll on Lebanon, particularly on frontline with emergency personnel. Dr. Basil Abdallah, the medical director of Rayak Hospital in Rayak, Lebanon, explained: “Seeing children bombed, seeing elderly patients and women bombed, it’s difficult. Most of the nurses and the doctors are depressed. We have emotions. We are human”.

Karim Bitar, a professor of international relations at Saint Joseph University in Beirut, described Israel’s offensive tactics as a “psychological war”.

Humanitarian organizations fear that the increasingly indiscriminate attacks signal the wake of war.

“The way Israel wages war is markedly different from that of its allies in terms of frequency and intensity of strikes,” said Emily Tripp, director of Airwars, a British non-profit organization that tracks civilian casualties from international conflicts. “The United States dropped 500 munitions in one day during the peak of its 2017 campaign against the Islamic State in Raqqa. Israel far exceeded this firepower, reporting strikes on 1,600 targets on Sept. 23 alone.”

Earlier this morning, UN Secretary-General António Guterres spoke with Lebanon Prime Minister Najib Mikati, assuring that the UN is fully mobilized to provide direct humanitarian aid to affected areas. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has provided essential supplies to over 200 shelters. WHO is providing medical workers in Lebanon with financial and technical support. The World Food Programme (WFP) has provided hot meals and emergency cash to 10,000 households. The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) will maintain their position and adjust their activities in accordance to their mandate.
