Question 2117 — social policy

Summary

Mr. Buon Tan draws the attention of the Secretary of State, to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men, to the delay in the implementation of the “pathway out of prostitution and social and professional integration” planned for sex workers and to the resources dedicated to it. The 2016 law aimed at strengthening the fight against the prostitution system constitutes a strong signal for prostitutes (removal of the offense of soliciting, penalization of the client and creation of an “exit route”). However, while the customer's penalization is fully effective, the "exit path" is still not in place 17 months after the promulgation of the law. As highlighted by a Médecins du Monde survey from March 2017, the planned measures did not endorse the violence and precariousness of the people concerned. There The situation of sex workers (around 40,000 people) remains very difficult and has consequences for neighborhood life. Future beneficiaries of the “exit pathway” will be able to rely on comprehensive support from approved associations and receive financial assistance for social and professional integration. The “exit route” which could be an effective system remains eagerly awaited. While the prevention and the fight against prostitution is now fully part of public policies to combat violence against women (fifth interministerial plan to combat violence against women 2017-2019), he asks it to kindly indicate the Government's intentions to accelerate the implementation of the “exit route”.
