Sexual exploitation violates the rights of anyone subjected to it, whether female or male, adult or child, from the South or North. Local and global sex industries and trafficking networks are systematically violating women's rights on a massive scale. Sexual exploitation is a vehicle for racism and so-called first world domination, disproportionately victimising minority and third world women. Modern communications technology such as the Internet is being misused to promote and enact multiple forms of sexual exploitation. Sexual exploitation eroticises women's inequality.
Prostitution victimises all women, justifies the sale of any woman, and reduces all women to sex.
Women have the right to sexual integrity and autonomy. That governments protect and promote women's human, civil, and constitutional rights while they are in conditions of sex trafficking and prostitution, and at the same time aggressively eliminate the causes. That governments decriminalize the women in conditions of sex trafficking or prostitution at the same time that they penalise the recruiters, procurers and buyers of women for purposes of prostitution. That governments reject any policy or law that legitimises sex trafficking or prostitution or that legalises it in any way, including as a profession, occupation or as entertainment. That religious laws such as the Hudood Ordinance of Pakistan which encourages perpetrators of trafficking and often the police to discriminate against and abuse of women, be repealed.
