Article UK Communist Party statement on prostitution
Quote:Prostitution is one of the worst forms of human exploitation. Although we recognise that some men and boys are exploited in this way, it remains the case that the vast majority of those trapped in the sex trade are women and girls; therefore, we focus this statement on women and girls.
We extend unwavering solidarity and empathy to all those who are trapped in the sex trade and as communists it is incumbent on us to put forward a class analysis of prostitution.
Quote:While prostitution exists, there can never be true equality between men and women. The continued existence of commercial sexual exploitation of women and girls has an adverse impact on how men and boys engage in relationships with all women. There are clear and undisputed links between the male demand for prostitution, child sexual exploitation and pornography. Prostitution, by its very nature, does not constitute a relationship of equals, as the man paying for sexual access to a womanβs body has full power and control.
