Five reasons why “end demand” tactics are harmful to both consensual and trafficked persons in the sex trade.
On March 21, 2022, we attended a meeting of the inter-ministerial team to implement the government program to eradicate prostitution, headed by Adv. Dina Dominitz of the Ministry of Justice. Prior to the meeting, we submitted a detailed position paper on the assistance that is not being enforced, such as police abuse and what we really need: stopping enforcement and increasing access to rights, stopping humiliation in TLA committees, deletion of police records, implementing real employment programs especially for trans mothers and women, and fighting poverty. The position paper was written in collaboration with Transiot Israel, Maavarim, HaMichlala, Tnuat Ahoti and Isha L’Isha.
Gali Cohen for “Walla!”: OnlyFans is an amazing platform for creating porn independently, without depending on anyone else. Whether we like it or not, porn is used as sex education today for many people. Instead of guilting and criticizing consumers, we could encourage quality porn that teaches a healthy attitude towards sexuality and pleasure. And OnlyFans is a great platform for that. There is no dependence on a boss or director to tell me what to do and with whom. I can just choose to document and publish whatever I enjoy.
About a year after the hearing and the closure of strip clubs on the grounds that the lap dance was an act of prostitution, the state attorney decided not to file any indictments. The prosecution: “The decision does not lead to the conclusion that the clubs complied with the conditions of the law.” Leader of of the strippers’ organization: “Closing the clubs has harmed the personal security of sex workers”
Linor Abergel for Ynet: “The fact that the transgender people went underground does not mean that it is over. I hear from my friends that the more normative clients no longer show up because they are afraid of the law, and that there is an increase in new cases of HIV because the remaining clients want to do it without contraception. This leads to an increase in drug use among sex workers and more cases of violence. Although street prostitution has almost disappeared, indoor prostitution has increased. Enforcement is ultimately only harming women.”
