Néanmoins, en 2010, un groupe de travailleuses du sexe a décidé de sattaquer à nouveau à cette question et a demandé aux tribunaux de revoir la décision rendue par la Cour suprême en 1990. Dans laffaire Bedford v. Canada, les appelantes soutenaient que larticle 210 maisons de débauche, lalinéa 2121 j vivre des produits de la prostitution dautrui et lalinéa 2131 c communications à des fins de prostitution du Code étaient contraires à lalinéa 2 b et à larticle 7 de la Charte. Selon elles, bien que la prostitution soit légale au Canada, les lois existantes faisaient quil était impossible de sy adonner dans un environnement sûr puisquil nétait pas possible de la pratiquer à lintérieur, ni dembaucher de gérants, des chauffeurs ou des gardes du corps. Elles soutenaient aussi que les dispositions législatives concernant les communications obligeaient les prostituées à prendre des décisions hâtives sans filtrer adéquatement les clients. Les femmes sont plus susceptibles dêtre reconnues coupables de prostitution Mr. Réal Ménard: Would you agree to a bawdy house system that would be licensed by the Solicitor General, a system where bawdy houses could not be established in residential sectors? The bawdy house would have a licence stipulating some very specific conditions. Lucie Daigneault-Comptable à ladministration locale de la Maison mère des Soeurs de Miséricorde, Laval, QC, Canada En 2010, lArgentine a été le premier pays à légaliser le, alors quen 2012 sa loi sur lidentité de genre a permis aux transgenres de changer de sexe sur leur certificat de naissance. Dautres pays de la région ont suivi, comme le Brésil et lUruguay. En termes généraux, la Convention de 1949 constituait une reconnaissance générale du problème de la prostitution comme question de droits de la personne à léchelle internationale. Elle est une déclaration vigoureuse en faveur de la protection des femmes contre lexploitation sexuelle, que celle-ci résulte de la traite de personnes ou de la prostitution. Cependant, si la Convention prohibe la traite de personnes, elle condamne également sans équivoque toutes les formes de prostitution, considérées comme autant datteintes à la dignité humaine et au bien être de la personne, que cette prostitution soit volontaire ou non. En 1949 cette position était inconciliable comme elle lest toujours aujourdhui avec le droit canadien, puisque la prostitution est légale au Canada et que lon ne pénalise que les activités criminelles qui y sont associées. Le gouvernement canadien na pas condamné toutes les formes de prostitution de façon aussi absolue et il na donc jamais signé la Convention de 1949. Lynne Kennedy has spoken about the john school or POP program. Ill just say we support that program. Dès 16 ans révolus à condition quil ny ait pas dexploitation par un tiers..

I really dont want to get drawn into the quagmire of the wrongs that are done to children B.C. Civil Liberties doesnt suggest that its a choice that children make in any understanding of the word choice. We, as a society, have set the level of age of majority at 18, and thats where people can make choices. What were talking about in our submission is the sale of sexual services between adults. Involving the criminal justice system in that sex trade creates more victims than it saves. Lily Munroe-Womens rights advocate and abolitionist, Australia We do not accept prostitution as a solution to womens poverty; we want something much better for Canadas poor and racialized women and girls. We believe you do too, and we urge you to act on your commitments to women and to an egalitarian Canada.

Plus les lois sont punitives, plus on est poussées dans les mains dintermédiaires. Avec ce type de plateforme, on retrouverait une indépendance, assure-t-elle, peu optimiste néanmoins sur lavènement en France dune telle initiative. Fourth, is a law against solicitation actually a law against free speech as well as free enterprise? Were very pleased to see that Parliament has recognized the need to address the problems associated with the sex trade. The individual situations of sex trade workers and their clients, as you know and have already said, are varied and complex. Thus, your task is equally complex as you examine possible changes to the Criminal Code that will greatly impact those individuals and the communities in which theyre found. The research has been done there. We know we could turn the taps down a lot. Im also doing a lot of work around the homelessness issue. Looking at the international research on that, roughly 40 of all homeless people, adult and youth, were in government day care as children. Our care system across Canada, as far as the child welfare system is concerned, needs to be revamped. For most of our young people who are on the streets, especially in the sex trade, I see them as trauma victims. Theyve been traumatized as young people through sexual, emotional, and physical abuse. People who have been traumatized have a hard time giving up power. Our system demands lots of conformity, and where young ones cant or dont conform, they get labelled as resistant, untreatable, and dispensable, disposable. I knew people who worked there, and they were not prepared for a 24-7 prostitution trade. They werent prepared to have customers car windows being knocked on by people who could be their kids, making indecent proposals. The E-mail Addresses field is required.

We are particularly concerned about children in the sex trade who are never there by informed choice. In dealing with children especially, there needs to be room for innovation and the ability to protect children who are at high risk of being sexually exploited or who are already involved in the sex trade. This may mean facilitating greater cooperation between law enforcement officers, the judicial system, social services, provincial ministries, and the local community to ensure that children in the sex trade are given many ways out. Press release endorsed by 19 organisations in France Unfortunately, we were never able to achieve consensus in our community on this issue. I believe the primary reason for that was our insistence on an inclusive approach that emphasized harm reduction rather than enforcement, and one that also recognized that many of the sex trade workers in the area were members of this community and deserved as much safety and well-being as any other resident. 32 L.
