10 Raisons pour ne Pas légaliser la Prostitution
Publication date: 20 Feb 04
Author(s): Janice G. Raymond, Coalition Contre la Traite des Femmes
Les arguments que nous vous vous présentons ici concernent toutes les formes de prostitution que les Etats peuvent soutenir. Ils s’appliquent- mais pas exclusivement – à la légalisation des maison closes et du proxénétisme à une large échelle, à la dépénalisation de l’industrie du sexe, à la réglementation de la prostitution à travers des lois concernant l’enregistrement, les contrôles médicaux obligatoires pour les femmes dans la prostitution, ainsi qu’à tout système qui considère la prostitution comme un emploi qui peut être choisi, reconnu comme un « travail du sexe ».

10 Ragioni per Non Legalizzare la Prostituzione
Publication date: 20 Feb 04
Author(s): Janice G. Raymond, Coalition Against Trafficking in Women
Le seguenti motivazioni sono rivolte a tutti gli stati che sostengono le forme di prostituzione, includendo ma non limitandosi alla piena legalizzazione dei bordelli e dei lenoni, alla depenalizzazione dell’industria del sesso, regolando la prostituzione per mezzo di leggi che ad esempio indicano o comandano dei controlli sanitari per le donne che si prostituiscono, o ogni sistema in cui la prostituzione é riconosciuta come un « lavoro del sesso » o che la sostiene come una scelta di impiego.

Publication date: 15 Sep 03
Author(s): Janice G. Raymond
The following arguments apply to all state-sponsored forms of prostitution, including but not limited to full-scale legalization of brothels and pimping, decriminalization of the sex industry, regulating prostitution by laws such as registering or mandating health checks for women in prostitution, or any system in which prostitution is recognized as sex work; or advocated as an employment choice.

Publication date: 20 Jun 03
Author(s): Janice Raymond, Coalizão contra o Tráfico Internacional de Mulheres (25 de março de 2003)
A seguinte argumentação se aplica a todas as formas de apoio oficial à prostituição, incluindo não somente a legalização total de bordéis e atuação dos cafetões, mas também a descriminalização da Indústria Sexual, a regulamentação da prostituição por leis como o registro das prostitutas ou os exames de saúde obrigatórios para as mulheres, ou qualquer sistema no qual a prostituição seja reconhecida como “trabalho sexual” ou defendida como uma opção de trabalho.

Author(s): Janice G. Raymond, Coalición Internacional Contra el Tráfico de Mujeres
Los argumentos que se exponen a continuación van dirigidos a todas las formas de prostitución avaladas o respaldadas por el estado, incluyendo, pero no limitándose a, la legalización de los prostíbulos y del proxenetismo, la despenalización de la industria del sexo, la regularización de la prostitución a través de leyes que establezcan controles de salud obligatorios para las mujeres que están en la prostitución, o cualquier sistema que reconozca que la prostitución es un trabajo o la defienda considerándola una elección laboral.

Десять причин не легализовать проституц&#1080
Publication date: 24 Apr 03
Author(s): Международная коалиция по борьбе с торго&#107
Приведенные ниже аргументы распространяются на все поддерживаемые государством формы проституции, включая (но не ограничиваясь этим) полномасштабную легализацию публичных домов и сутенерства, декриминализацию индустрии сексуальных услуг, законодательное урегулирование проституции, например, посредством регистрации или обязательных медицинских осмотров проституток, а также любую систему, при которой проституция признана «секс-занятостью» и подается как вариант трудоустройства.

War and Women
Publication date: 12 Mar 03
Author(s): H. Patricia Hynes, Professor of Environmental Health at Boston University School of Public Health.
The greatest casualties of modern war are non-combatant civilians. Among civilian casualties, women and girls are deliberately targeted and massively harmed by war. We are on the verge of a U.S.-led pre-emptive war against Iraq. With one exception, none of the U.S. administration protagonists has fought in a war. As one veteran recently wrote, “those who declare war should know [its price].” They should also know who pays the price.

This first of four articles will provide an overview of the harm to women from war, using data from armed conflicts, military occupation and post-conflict situations of the 20th century.

Publication date: 1 Jun 98
Author(s): Janice G. Raymond, Co-executive Director Coalition Against Trafficking in Women
This article addresses efforts to distinguish and thus to legitimize certain practices of sexual exploitation, drawing distinctions, for example, between "forced" and "free" prostitution - the NGOs who advocate such distinctions; and the consequences of revising the harm done to women in prostitution into a consenting act.

Publication date: 1 Jan 98
Author(s): Coaltion Against Trafficking in Women - Asia Pacific
