Prostitution and the Sex Industry

RR550 The Green Party believes that the law should not seek to regulate consensual sexual activities between adults where those do not affect others. Where there are such effects, a balance must be reached. Adults should be free to do as they wish with their own bodies, and to practice whatever form of sexual activity they wish by themselves or with each other by mutual consent. This includes the freedom not only to engage in such sexual acts, but also to be photographed or filmed doing so, to make such images available to other adults with their consent, and to be able to view such images. That someone might receive payment for any of these activities should not affect this freedom.
RR551 Regardless of generally accepted standards of public morality in the past, no attempt to end various aspects of prostitution with prohibitive laws has worked. In addition, with the availability of sexually explicit material via the internet it is not realistic to expect that censorship laws will be able to stop access to such material in the future.
RR552 For the reasons given above, the Green Party believes that attempting to stop the sex industry by using prohibitive laws is neither desirable nor realistic.
RR553 Criminalisation of many parts of the sex industry leaves those working within it in a vulnerable position. They are often unable to turn to the law for help in cases where their rights are violated, and instead fall prey to criminal gangs and pimps.
RR554 Therefore, all aspects of sex work involving consenting adults should be decriminalised. Restrictions and censorship of sexually explicit material should be ended, except for those which are aimed at protecting children. Workers in the sex industry should enjoy the same rights as other workers such as the right to join unions (See WR410), the right to choose whether to work co-operatively with others etc. Decriminalisation would also help facilitate the collection of taxes due from those involved in sex work. Legal discrimination against sex workers should be ended (for example, in child custody cases, where evidence of sex work is often taken to mean that a person is an unfit parent).
RR555 The Green Party recognises that, although people should be free to engage in sex work if they wish, this is an industry which can be more exploitative than others, and those who work in it should be adequately protected against such exploitation. There should be zero tolerance of coercion, violence, or sexual abuse (including child abuse). Those who have been trafficked into the country and forced to work in the sex industry against their will should receive protection under the law (see MG450-454). There should be legal support for sex workers who want to sue those who exploit their labour unfairly, and access to re-training for those sex workers who want to leave the industry. As far as possible, public services, the Government and legal system should aim to end those social attitudes which stigmatise those who are, or have been, sex workers.


I am definitely going to join the Green Party...

At last! A sane, defensible position from a mainstream political party - I'll join too!

The Green party has a lot of worthwile policies.
There was a time in the early 90s when they did particularly well in local elections & EU elections - mainly due to the fact that the main partys had untill that point tended to ignore environmental issues. As a reaction to this, they all developed more coherent environmental policies which has meant that the Greens have not been able to repeat that successful period. On the other hand it could be argued that by provoking a reaction thay are still influencing British politics without getting into power.

Last weekend I was at the Stop the War march from Hyde Park to Parliament square - during the speeches at the end, there was a particularly good one made by a representative of the Green party.

Part of their problem is that people only know about their environmental policies - less publicity is given to their social & economic policies for instance. In both of these aspects they could probably be regarded as quite a long way to the left - in this aspect they fitted well with the other parties who were represented at the Stop the War march - Respect & represenatives from the left side of Labour & the Lib Dems.

Less known aspects of their policies are the legalisation of all drugs, as they do not believe that banning them has helped to reduce their usage - something that makes sense if you look at the statistics for drug usage in Britain before many were criminalised earlier this century.

On the other hand I would tend to disagree with the anti-euro aspects of their policies (I'm not really sure hwo I can vote for nowadays, as even the Lib Dems are only mildly pro euro.

The relative lack of representation by the Greens (& also the Lib Dems) IMHO presents a good argument for proportional representation. Unfortunately this is not going to happen though unless the two main parties can see some way in which they would benefit under a changed system.
