"Madam President, personally, I do not care for the expression ‘forced prostitution’ because all prostitution is more or less forced, but our group naturally supports the resolution put forward. Trafficking in human beings is slave trafficking. It is discriminatory and shameful and a disgusting crime. It is crucial that we do more to help this extremely weak and vulnerable group of trafficked children and women.
On my own behalf, I should also like to welcome the fact that a thorough debate on prostitution in general is taking place. It is important that we dispense with the myth of the happy prostitute. The majority of prostitutes live miserable lives, exposed to the risks of, for example, assault, rape and sexually transmitted diseases. In no other area of our society is it accepted that a person’s working life might inflict such tremendous harm on them. Who, moreover, among those present in this Chamber would be pleased if his or her daughter were to become a prostitute? This is a debate that we must, then, make sure gets under way."@en1
