Daniel Hofkamp , Evangelical Focus. During the celebration of its 40th Federal Congress, the Spanish Social Democrat government party, PSOE , committed to advance the abolition of prostitution , an important proposal put forward by party leaders, who hope to pass a law in the next few years, before the end of their mandate.
It was the first time that the PSOE was so clear about the abolition of prostitution , which remains unregulated in Spain. The road has not been easy, because every time the debate comes up, many call for the regulation of the activity, as if it were just another type of work. Several voices support the criminalisation of the client as the most effective tool, both to reduce the consumption of prostitution and to protect women who have entered this world deceived or forced by human trafficking gangs.
Asun Quintana, speaking at the event of the International Day for the Eliminarion of the violence against women, held in in Madrid. The Swedish ambassador recently participated in the StopDemand event in Madrid, where the results of this policy, imperfect but with evident benefits for society as a whole and in particular for women, were shown. The problem with prostitution and sexual exploitation is not only legal.
It is a practice that continues to be accepted by Spanish society. In order to do this, we have to work in families, schools and institutes, churches, the health system In this path of offering freedom to those who suffer, we can all get involved in one way or another.
