MAI promite legalizarea prostitutiei?

n-am cuvinte pt. cit de aiurea e pusa problema in stirea asta, de la felul in care e abordat subiectul de catre oficialitati (cum s-ar putea exploata mai tare prostituatele), la felul in care e discutat atit de ei, cit si in presa si in general: “vesti bune pentru romanii burlaci”! nu c-ar fi o noutate – a se vedea de ex. protestul din 2005 privind abordarea la nivel guvernamental a problemei prostitutiei.

parlamentarilor, lui v. blaga (care, vai, nici nu poate intelege cum de nu se trece mai repede la legalizare), ca si majoritatii populatiei, sigur li se pare chiar nastrusnica ideea ca prostituatele sint oameni si ar putea avea mai multe drepturi, sau ca daca prostituatele sint criminale si “burlacii” care cumpara servicii sint tot criminali… si sa poarte discutiile la acest nivel.

nu mai discutam poza, iresponsabilitatea presei cind e vorba de orice care perpetueaza exploatarea sexista in general.

hartuirea sexuala normala

… in destul de multe ziare (Ziua, Romania Libera, Jurnalul National am apucat sa citesc, am auzit si discutii la radiouri FM din Bucuresti) au aparut articole mari (1/2, o pagina) despre un studiu facut de Centrul pentru Parteneriat pentru Egalitate … despre hartuirea sexuala.
Studiul a fost facut de IMAS in Iasi, Constanta, Cluj si Bucuresti, majoritatea celor chestionati sunt barbati, si concluziile sunt ca 90% dintre cei chestionati considera hartuirea sexuala o problema grava, dar doar 54% stiu ca exista o lege care pedepseste aceste fapte.
Atitudinea de blamare a victimei este inca foarte raspandita, majoritatea dintre respondenti chiar cred ca victima este cea care provoaca, prin tinuta si comportament.
Mai grav cred ca este faptul ca in Romania au fost facute doua sau trei plangeri, fara NICI O URMARE in ce priveste pedepsirea in vreun fel a hartuitorului, desi majoritatea au spus ca au fost victime sau au cunostinte/ prieteni victime ale hartuirii.
Centrul care a cerut studiul a facut si un ghid practic pentru persoana hartuita. …

Global Women’s Strike 2007
Celebrating International Women’s Day around the world

INVEST IN CARING NOT KILLING! Women & girls do 2/3 of the world’s work, most of it unwaged. $1 trillion/year is spent on the military worldwide, more than half by the US. 10% of this would provide the essentials of life for all: water, sanitation, basic health, nutrition, literacy, and a minimum income.
The Global Women’s Strike network, with national co-ordinations in 11 countries and participating organisations in over 60 countries, is demanding the return of military budgets to the community, beginning with women the main carers of people and the planet. Women, and men who support our goals, take action together on 8 March, International Women’s Day, and throughout the year. In this way each grassroots struggle is backed by our collective power. …

“Ending Impunity for Violence against Women and Girls”
Is the theme for International Women’s Day 2007

In 1975, during International Women’s Year, the United Nations began celebrating 8 March as International Women’s Day. Two years later, in December 1977, the General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a United Nations Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace to be observed on any day of the year by Member States, in accordance with their historical and national traditions. For the United Nations, International Women’s Day has been observed on 8 March since 1975. The Day is traditionally marked with a message from the Secretary-General.

Why dedicate a day exclusively to the celebration of the world’s women?

In adopting its resolution on the observance of Women’s Day, the General Assembly cited two reasons: to recognize the fact that securing peace and social progress and the full enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms require the active participation, equality and development of women; and to acknowledge the contribution of women to the strengthening of international peace and security. For the women of the world, the Day’s symbolism has a wider meaning: It is an occasion to review how far they have come in their struggle for equality, peace and development. It is also an opportunity to unite, network and mobilize for meaningful change.
