被禁止的性行为与性暴力

卖淫: 法律方面 4

瑞典法律理由之一是从贫穷国家（譬如从东欧）引诱未起疑心的年轻妇女到较富裕的西方国家就是犯罪行为，因为通过给她们许诺高薪正式工作，然后强迫她们去卖淫。这种所谓的人口贩卖（trafficking）是一项有指望的产业，通常与有组织的犯罪相联系，它以令人震惊的方式让人口贩子谋取暴利，同时剥削这些妇女。

随着“性交易（sex trade）”逐渐全球化趋势的发展，人口贩卖问题已经变得更为严峻。现在以性交易为目的的人口贩卖会横跨数洲，而且所产生的利润巨大。与之相对应的是，剥削的程度也加剧了。出于这样和那样的原因，所有的国家政府现在都一致认为必须阻止这种“生意”。但是，就阻止这种“生意”的最好方式，却存在很大的分歧。瑞典判定认为，防止购买性服务便会取得成功，但是，其它国家认为只有卖淫的完全祛罪化、合法化或制度化才能保障这些妇女的权益，并把她们从犯罪分子的掌控中解救出来。

Prohibited Sexual Behavior and Sexual Violence

Prostitution: Legal Aspects 4

One of the reasons for the Swedish law is the criminal activity of luring unsuspecting young women from poor countries (in this case from Eastern Europe) to the richer countries in the West by promising them well-paid regular jobs and then forcing them into prostitution. This so-called trafficking is a booming industry, usually connected to organized crime, which makes the traffickers rich and exploits the women in the most appalling manner.
The problem has become more serious with the increasing globalization of the “sex trade”. Trafficking for sexual purposes now moves across continents, and the profits to be made are enormous. Correspondingly, the level of exploitation has increased. For this and other reasons, all governments now agree that this “business” must be stopped. However, there are widely divergent views about the best way to do it. Sweden has decided that prohibiting the purchase of sexual services will lead to success, but other countries believe that only the complete decriminalization, legalization, or regulation of prostitution will empower the women and liberate them from the control by criminal elements.
