as long as any woman, anywhere in the world is being bought or sold - none of of us are free (Andrea Dworkin)

Feminist Coalition Against Prostitution (FCAP)

 

Imagine a world where women and girls are not for sale...

...Now let's make it real.

News! 3rd November 2009 The Lords voted in favour of Clause 14 (was Clause 13) to criminalise punters, where the prostituted person has been subject to force or coercion. See the Demand Change website for full details. This is a great first step, and puts the focus back where it should be, on the demand that fuels prostitution. Next step - decriminalise all those in the 'sex industry' - women, children and men should not be criminalised for choosing survival over poverty; those who exploit them should be. We still look forward to a Nordic style law that makes the purchase of any human being for sexual purposes a criminal act.

We are a coalition of UK Feminist individuals and groups who believe that prostitution is violence against women:

  • This is a UK wide group advocating a common approach to prostitution for the whole of the UK
  • We invite all Feminist individuals and groups, from all backgrounds, to join this Coalition
  • We are calling for the decriminalisation of all women, children and men involved in prostitution - and demand that all criminal records for loitering and/or soliciting be wiped so that survivors are not barred from employment branded as 'sex offenders'
  • We urge the UK Government, the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly to consider a Swedish style law to make buying sex illegal and to invest money in exit services such as housing, education & training, legal advice, welfare benefits and health care
  • We believe that prostitution is not inevitable - end demand

We keep in touch via yahoo groups e.mail group - sign up online at: http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/radicalsister. Please note - this list is moderated, membership is moderated.

FCAP supports new government proposals to criminalise men who exploit women in prostitution 'controlled by another for gain'. Although we do not believe they go far enough, we consider them an important first step.
