POSITION PAPER: LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE IMPLEMENTATION OF EXIT PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN IN PROSTITUTION by @UNSRVAW - nordicmodelnow - Oct 31 2024
Why is it so hard to exit prostitution? What do women need to make it possible? What assistance should states provide to women involved in prostitution in order to comply with binding human rights obligations?
These are some of the issues that Reem Alsalem, UN Special Rapporteur on VAWG, has brilliantly addressed in her new evidence-based report, ‘Position paper: lessons learned from the implementation of exit programs for women in prostitution’.
“The UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women and Girls has prepared the present document on challenges and recommendations related to exit programs for women and girls in prostitution with the purpose of offering guidelines for Member States, service entities and organizations. It comes following requests by some Member States for more information regarding exit strategies during and after the interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur at the Human Rights Council’s fifty-sixth session in June 2024 where she presented her report on prostitution and violence against women and girls.”
