Title: Ex-Prostituted Women Blast the UN and Amnesty International
Topic: Protecting Women

Discussed by Lisa Correnti
with Center for Family and Human Rights (www.C-Fam.org)

The World Health Organization, UN Women, the Global Commission on HIV and the Law, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health, and Human Rights Watch all “support or are calling for the decriminalization of sex work.”

The survivors of sex trafficking and prostitution spoke recently to an overflow crowd at the UN’s annual conference on women. The panel on “Prostitution or Sex Work,” organized by The Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW), was held as diplomats negotiated whether to describe prostitution as “sex work.”

Lisa Correnti, with the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, discusses the difference between a “prostitute” and a “sex worker” and what you can do to help stop sex trafficking in the US.
