Group Toulouse for the Coordination of Anarchist Groups denounce the anti-solicitation
order established by the city of Toulouse, which is primarily the prostitution activity in
neighborhoods Minimes and Matabiau. Under the guise of fighting against prostitution and
"protect" the residents (of what?), The city of Toulouse can give full powers to the
police to monitor, control and arrest anyone involved in prostitution activity ( clients
and prostitutes). After the draft law penalizing customers adopted by MEPs, more
pr?carisant conditions for the exercise of the activity of prostitutes, this is a new
attack against street prostitutes, who are mostly in a situation Economic and Social
extremely worrying. This penalty has only effect of pushing the underground prostitutes,
relegating them away from police control and therefore often in remote areas where they
are more subject to violence from clients. In addition, they will have a more difficult
access to care and support offered by the various associations who work with prostitutes.
If prostitution is mostly a means of livelihood for some and an activity carried out
"free", it is also a practical and symbolic way to submit all women's sexual dominant. The
fight against the commodification of the body and sexuality can not be achieved with blows
of repressive measures, such as anti-prostitution arrested in Toulouse. Only the
regularization tou-te-s undocumented, refusing any form of criminalization of
prostitution, economic and social equality for all and all will fight against sexual
exploitation in all its forms.
