“…This article argues that the legal model that accords most closely with a women’s human rights approach to sex work is partial decriminalisation coupled with the pro-work model. In substantiating that position, this section begins by considering the two broad feminist positions in relation to sex work (Simm, 2004). It considers those perspectives in light of the CEDAW 2 and its evolving interpretation by the CEDAW Committee and other international declarations, statements and findings and concludes by recommending a third, more nuanced feminist approach which, the authors argue, represents an authentic version of a women’s human rights approach to sex work.…”

This article sets out a women’s human rights approach to the legal regulation of sex work developed through an analysis of feminist perspectives, international human rights standards—in particular, the approach of the Committee on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women 1979 (CEDAW)—and the voices of female sex workers within India. It categorises sex work into four legal models, namely, prohibition which criminalises all aspects of the sex trade, partial decriminalisation which criminalises only those who force women into sex work and those who trade in under-age sex workers, social control legalisation which decriminalises but regulates the sex trade with the aim of containing through (often punitive) restrictions, and finally pro-work which approaches sex work as valid employment by extending the legal and human rights of other workers to sex workers. The article places India’s current regulatory framework into the prohibition model and argues that the legal response to sex work that most closely accords with a women’s human rights approach is partial decriminalisation coupled with a pro-work model. Although the introduction of this model in India poses considerable challenges, it has the greatest capacity to first, reduce the crime and corruption that surrounds the sex trade; second, to enhance, promote and protect public health and third, provide appropriate legal and human rights protection to sex workers as international obligations require.

“…Najtipičniji pokušaj da se vrednosni stav umerenih feminista formuliše kao pravo jeste uređenje prostitucije na način na koji je to uradila Holandija 19 i mnoge druge zemlje. Činjenica da neki vidovi prostitucije i dalje izmiču uređenju govori da pokušaj nije potpuno uspešan, 20 što vodi podeljenim naučnim mišljenjima o tome koliko je on efikasan. Manje argumenata i logičke praznine u tvrdnjama imaju oni koji tvrde da je potpuno neuspešan.…”

Sažetak: Polazeći od neraskidive veze koja postoji između trgovine ljudima i prostitucije, autor u radu istražuje pitanje uticaja vrednosnih stavova o postojanju slobode volje u prostituciji na oblikovanje krivičnopravne reakcije na trgovinu ljudima. Dva moguća odgovora na to pitanje stvaraju i dve modela kriminalnopolitičke reakcije na trgovinu ljudima. Autor kritikuje prvi, koji ne priznaje slobodu volje, zato što pored inkriminisanja trgovine ljudima kao načina na koji se priprema seksualna eksploatacija drugog lica on propušta da inkriminiše i eksploataciju samu po sebi. To je kriminalnopolitički neprihvatljivo jer se protivi logici instituta idealnog prividnog sticaja koji postoji između više faza u izvršenju kriminalne delatnosti. Drugom modelu (u kojem se priznaje mogućnost postojanja slobode volje) autor prebacuje da bi morao da bude dosledan ideji na kojoj počiva, a to je sloboda volje. Ako se neko lice nađe u mehanizmu trgovine ljudima svojom slobodno izraženom voljom, u tom slučaju krivičnog dela ne sme da bude i trgovinu ljudima treba dekriminalizovati na isti način na koji ne bi trebalo kažnjavati ni prostituciju u koju neko uđe slobodnom voljom. U slučaju kada slobode volje nema, trgovinu ljudima treba tretirati kao pripremanje ili pokušaj silovanja, kao što se polni čin u kojem nema slobode tretira kao silovanje. U oba slučaja potreba za postojanjem krivičnog dela trgovine ljudima ne postoji. Ključne reči: trgovina ljudima, kriminalna politika, prostitucija, krivično pravo, prividni idealni sticaj, sloboda volje, pripremanje.1 Ovaj rad je nastao kao rezultat istraživanja na projektu "Biomedicina, zaštita životne sredine i pravo" broj 179079 koji finansira Ministarstvo prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja. 2 Vanredni profesor, rbrane@pf.uns.ac.rs

“…Radical feminists view prostitution as oppression of women, do not distinguish between trafficking and prostitution, and those who choose prostitution are considered to be suffering from false consciousness, a defence mechanism that makes them deny abuse [5]. They find similarities in emotional dissociation and post traumatic shock experienced by both rape victims and prostitutes [6].…”

“…This comprises of materialist feminists who distinguish between voluntary and forced prostitution, where voluntary prostitution is seen as sex work, similar to a range of low status, marginalised jobs women engage in [5]. This group also shares its ideology with liberal feminists who believe that women are free to work in the sex work industry if they willingly choose to do so.…”

“…"In the context of prostitution, in accordance with the value accorded to heterogeneity, postmodern feminists emphasise the need to accord due recognition to the subjectivity of sex workers. Postmodern feminists argue against the imposition of external moral strictures and in favour of attention to sex workers" own views and understanding of prostitution and trafficking" [5].…”
