"The distinction between legal and forced prostitution is an artificial distinction. It is also hypocritical to condemn forced prostitution, because it stabilises and extends legal prostitution. Whether prostitution is legal or forced, what is being sold is the human body, as a commodity subject to all the rules of the market. The legislative framework regulating the rules of hygiene which must be complied with by registered prostitutes basically recognises prostitution as a profession and manages the problem. Thus, in the face of this spiralling social phenomenon, prostitution is being legalised as a profession; in other words, it is being uncoupled from the social causes which produce and reproduce prostitution (unemployment, poverty, impoverishment and lack of social benefits). In other words, the rot in the exploitative system is being concealed and exonerated, and it is rejecting its responsibilities and referring the problem to the individual sphere. Prostitution cannot be called a profession or a free choice, because it is incompatible with the value and dignity of the human being, it is the most extreme form of attack on human rights. Prostitution, when called a profession, goes on to the career guidance list, as an alternative to the unemployment which affects young women with such barbarity. At the same time, it legalises investments in companies on the prostitution market, establishing the porn culture, and promotes the prostitution of young women. We say no to all forms of prostitution."@en1
