Legalize prostitution, UN urges PH - Yahoo! News Philippines

The Philippines and other Asian countries should decriminalize ***-related jobs in order to provide *** workers access to basic rights and to control the spread of ***ually transmitted infections especially HIV, a new United Nations report said.

"The legal recognition of *** work as an occupation enables *** workers to claim benefits, to form or join unions and to access work-related banking, insurance, transport and pension schemes," the report dubbed "*** Work and the Law in Asia and the Pacific" showed.

It added that "in decriminalized contexts, the *** industry can be subject to the same general laws regarding workplace health and safety and anti-discrimination protections as other industries."

Decriminalization, the report said, involves the repeal of laws criminalizing *** work, being clients to *** workers or enganging in activities associated with *** work.

It should also repeal laws that require mandatory testing or treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or other STIs, as well as laws that allow detention of *** workers for rehabilitation or correction.

The report stressed that Filipino *** workers remain highly vulnerable to STIs including HIV as well as ***ual and physical abuse due to stigma.

This, even as it noted that the Philippines has introduced laws aimed at preventing HIV and protecting the rights of infected patients.

These laws offer "limited protections" to *** workers, the report said, amid "the continued enforcement of criminal laws against *** workers and difficulties in accessing the justice system to enforce these rights."

*** work as well as businesses engaged in *** are illegal under Philippine laws, with penalties up to 30 days imprisonment for first offense and up to six months imprisonment for repeat offenders.

The UN also noted that broad definitions open to abuse and misinterpretation some provisions of laws on *** work.

Article 201 of the Revised Penal Code, which covers immoral doctrines, obscene publications and exhibitions and indecent shows "may be used by police to lay charges as a result of raiding entertainment establishments," the report said.

"Establishment-based *** workers are at risk of arrest as a result of police raids conducted under the antitrafficking law," it added.

Most of these workers are also not given health insurance, with the UN saying that "employers take advantage of a loophole in relevant employment laws by claiming that *** workers are not regular employees..."

*** workers operating independently, however, are still "more vulnerable to arrest and police abuses," the report said.

"Street-based *** workers are commonly charged with vagrancy offences," it noted.

Laws also remain inadequate in addressing issues of discrimination against *** workers, especially for those infected with HIV or other STIs.

The AIDS Prevention and Control Act of 1998, for instance, provides "no specific provisions to protect *** workers from discrimination," the report said.

*** workers who are ***ually assaulted are also unlikely to "successfully bring a charge of rape against an offender" despite the Anti-Rape Law, the UN added.

"Police confiscation of condoms for use as evidence remains a controversial issue," the report noted.

Although noting that the government has backed efforts to promote condom use among *** workers over the last decade, UN said the presence of condoms in establishments raided by police is still used as evidence in criminal complaints.

UN stressed, however, that "significant progress has been achieved through *** workers educating their peers about their rights, organizing legal representation and securing changes to law enforcement practices..."

"At the local level, this approach has shifted the power balance in favour of the vulnerable, and has been associated with positive HIV prevention outcomes such as increased condom use rates and reduced stigma," the report said.

The Philippines?








Wahahahahahahahahahaaaaa! Hooohahahahahaha.... Weeeeheheheheheheee....

Many of our leaders can't even bring themselves to admit that people have *** for fun... or that it is perfectly legal to do so. Legalizing prostitution is a step too far for this country.

Hell... merely watching ****ography in the privacy of your own home is illegal here.

Except for child ****ography and prostitution, which is vile, the government has no right to interfere with the private lives of consenting adults.

This is easier said than done. What are they thinking? Our legislators cannot even decriminalize prostitution under the Revised Penal Code.

If you don't think we have a lot of prostitutes already, you aren't looking hard enough. Get out of a nice car on the right street corner in QC at night and you will be stalked by dozens of girls as you go into the convenience store to buy a smoke.

There are thousands of girls working as prostitutes here in the south. In Manila, it's in the tens of thousands. Official estimates are at nearly half-a-million.

And because of the fascination with "kinse anyos", a whole lot of those girls are under 16. Legalize prostitution and you will only see maybe half of those women register... probably much less. Some will be underage, others will not like the stigma associated with being a known "professional" prostitute, others will not want to pay taxes on their earnings.

As said with the issues of underage *** and politicians claiming that the RH Bill's *** Ed curriculum will increase it... just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.
