Description: This publication offers numerous articles that developed from the International Abolitionist Federation-sponsored Cambridge Congress in late-September 1960. By 1960, the Federation reported that twenty countries worldwide still supported legal prostitution. The majority of the text is an examination of laws on or against prostitution in: the Belgian Congo, Greece, India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Italy, France, Australia, Korea, and Cambodia. Other articles examine male clients' "perversities" in a psychoanalytic reading of why prostitution continues to exist as well as the phenomenon of "White Slavery," or transnational sex trafficking. The report ends with a synthesis of the major points discussed in each separate article.
Notes: "Version en anglais des résolutions": p. 108-111.
