2. 真相

旅居法国之中国大陆的女性要面对生活上的种种障碍，例如：缺乏保障的移民身份，语言上不能沟通，生活贫穷潦困，以及她们对法国法律的不熟悉，使她们落入被欺负，欺骗，剥削，甚至被杀的对象。碰到对她们不怀好意，存心要加害她们的人，这群性工作者并没有保护自己，反击或向警察举报的能力与权力。因为在现今法国的条例下，买淫【寻芳客】是犯法的。虽然条例2016-444抓的是客人, 可是卖淫者间接地也变成非法。后果是性工作者遭受暴力及剥削的例子日渐上升。因此性工作者要更加冒险地，卖命工作，才足以应付生活。自2013年的国家安全法律例行之后，性工作者更不能在公共场所兠客，不幸的后果是把她们的工作场所推入更加隐蔽，危险的地方。

“In France, prior to the criminalisation of sex workers’ clients in 2016, sex workers were directly targeted by the criminalisation of public soliciting, which had been reinforced by the 2003 Law for National Security (LSI). The legislation adopted in 2016, inspired by the Swedish legal framework, sought to end prostitution via criminalising clients rather than sex workers. However, despite the stated aim of the law to protect sex workers, the majority of the sex workers we interviewed reveal that the criminalisation of clients has in practice been more detrimental to themselves than the previous laws against soliciting.” (Source: Report by Médecins du monde; see below)

1. Who are The Steel Roses?

Les Roses d’Acier (铿锵玫瑰), established in 2014, is an association mainly made up of Chinese women in precarious situations and Chinese sex workers. The group’s objectives are to facilitate access to health for Chinese migrant women; to fight against all forms of violence and discrimination against women in precarious situations and sex workers; to defend the fundamental rights of sex workers; and to promote mutual aid and solidarity. Through our community support and mutual aid actions within the sex worker community, we also contribute to the fight against violence against women and the exploitation of women.

2. The Situation

Chinese women who are in precarious situations – due to their residency statuses, their language barrier, poverty, or their lack of knowledge of their rights – represent easy targets and are particularly exposed to all forms of violence. Perpetrators of violence can safely assume that these women will have no means to physically or legally defend themselves, for instance by filing police reports.

Ever since the adoption of Law No. 2016-444, which criminalizes sex workers’ clients, in April 2016, assaults targeting sex workers have increased. As a result of this law, sex workers have to work harder and take greater risks to support themselves.

“In France, prior to the criminalisation of sex workers’ clients in 2016, sex workers were directly targeted by the criminalisation of public soliciting, which had been reinforced by the 2003 Law for National Security (LSI). The legislation adopted in 2016, inspired by the Swedish legal framework, sought to end prostitution via criminalising clients rather than sex workers. However, despite the stated aim of the law to protect sex workers, the majority of the sex workers we interviewed reveal that the criminalisation of clients has in practice been more detrimental to themselves than the previous laws against soliciting.” (Source: Report by Médecins du monde; see below)

3. The Project

The Steel Roses aim to create a smartphone app and emergency call system.

Anti-violence app in Chinese. This app enables users to trigger a text alert that is sent to three pre-assigned emergency contacts, together with the geolocation of the user and an audio recording triggered automatically and sent every minute.

The app is connected to keychain with an alarm button, which makes it possible to trigger the alert remotely over a distance of 15 meters, even when the smartphone is in standby. The keychain also features a 120-decibel emergency alarm.

The Steel Roses will support users of this app and also offer self-defense courses.

For the future, the organization plans to set up a hotline so that all users can add The Steel Roses as one of their emergency contacts.

What will the funds be used for?

Purchase of 100 alarm self-defense devices at a cost of €30 per unit.

As mentioned above, the fundraiser is hosted by Les Co-citoyens, a French non-profit association. To make a donation, you will need to create an account, which is very simple (click image to enlarge). Please don’t let this turn you off from contributing to The Steel Roses’ important fundraiser.

More celebrity “gender studies scholars”

Back in 2015, Research Project Korea published a series of memes to mock Hollywood’s “gender studies scholars” who had co-signed a letter by anti-prostitution activists who tried and failed to pressure Amnesty International into dropping plans to adopt a policy that would recommend decriminalizing sex work.

Four years on, talk show host Seth Meyers, former prosecutor Alexi Ashe Meyers (his wife), and actress Ashley Judd join the illustrious club of “Limousine Liberals” claiming to support sex workers while actually promoting laws that harm them.* Images modified by Research Project Korea and Kate Zen (@katezenlove).

Prostitutes Protection Act: Conservatives Fully Achieved Their Objectives

The government’s actual goal was “to quietly abolish prostitution under the guise of helping people in prostitution. … Whoever still believes that the Prostitutes Protection Act was intended to protect sex workers also believes that woodchucks chuck wood.”

ProstSchG well on its way to achieve Conservatives’ goals

A flurry of recent media reports have suggested the Prostitutes Protection Act (herafter ProstSchG) had failed to achieve its stated goals and would not sufficiently protect people engaged in prostitution.

Voice4Sexworkers, a project by and for sex workers,firmly rejectsthat notion:

The ProstSchG is well on its way to achieve all of the federal government’s desired goals and effects, especially those of the conservative parties [Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU) in Bavaria, together known as die Union]. It may have taken a while, but now, around two years after the ProstSchG went into effect on July 1, 2017, it has become increasingly apparent that the law’s consequences, which we expected and predicted, have materialized up and down the country.

Sex work is a job just like any other, but its criminalization exposes sex workers to discrimination, abuse & exploitation. Talking about it is the first step to reducing the stigma, but decriminalization is the only way to implement safeguards to protect those in this industry. https://t.co/hCymAQJbN3

The “UNTIL FOREVER” of the HETAIRAS

Message by Madrid-based sex worker-supporting, feminist human rights group Colectivo Hetaira 

“Hetaira was born in Madrid on March 12 1995, as a collective aim to defend the rights of prostitutes. Today, 24 years later, we collectively decide that Hetaira is coming to an end. This is, without doubt, the most difficult announcement we have had to make in all these years of walking together. (…)

Those who know us well know that those who shape Hetaira will continue to work in the defence of human rights and for a feminism that listens and is next to the needs of our beloved street girls, of whom we continue to learn and of all the workers of the sex industry. You know that the only thing that today — as we write this extremely difficult “until forever” — makes us happy is knowing; that we will always be there. With you. And, although it seems like the end of a story, it is the opposite, this fight has just begun.”

Шведска: Земја која не прифаќа мајки – сексуални работнички

Сексуална работничка од Шведска го изгубила старателството над нејзиното дете поради својата работа ¹

Östra Göinge, Шведска, 13 Јануари, 2018.

Мајката е уништена со судска одлука.

Една мајка која работела како сексуална работничка во Östra Göinge, едно село во Шведска го изгубила својот син поради својата професија. Таа ги нудела своите сексуални услуги преку Интернет. Почнала да работи како сексуален работник откако паднала во финансиски проблеми кога нејзиниот син имал само три месеци. Таа ги канела своите клиенти во сопствениот стан нудејќи им сексуални услуги за пари. Нејзината месечна заработка изнесувала околу 2.000-2.300 евра месечно.

“Мајката и нејзиниот син најчесто живееле изолирани од светот, освен за посетите од нејзините клиенти. Многу често се случувало клиентите да го прекинат сексот со мајката кога бебето ќе се разбудело. Неговото креветче било веднаш до креветот на мајката. Мајката се изјаснила дека детето во ниедна ситуација не изгледало исплашено, но сепак било љубопитно за тоа што се случува. Откако ќе се разбудело, мажите веднаш си заминувале од дома, особено оние кои имале деца, сфаќајки ја целосно ситуацијата,“ се вели од Управниот суд.

Сè се разоткрило откако едно засегнато лице ја пријавило мајката во социјална служба, при што синот веднаш и бил одземен. Ова се случило без никаква претходна формална проценка на ситуацијата, иако активностите на мајката беа потврдени преку нејзините онлајн реклами. 

In Sweden we just found out that a mother lost custody of her baby because she was a sex worker and now an ambassador for the green party @miljopartiet, @mptukia has been forced out of politics after stating that sex work is work and that sex workers have human rights.

— Fuckförbundet (@fuckforbundet) January 15, 2018

Управниот суд особено става акцент на фактот што мајката ги поканувала своите клиенти во нејзиниот дом. Според судот, постоел значителен ризик дека здравјето и развојот на детето ќе бидат оштетени од целокупната ситуација.

Откако детето и било одземено, мајката веднаш ги прекинала своите услуги. Сепак, Управниот суд сметал дека се уште постои ризик дека ќе го повтори своето однесување и затоа одлучил дека синот треба да остане под државната заштита согласно Законот за грижа на млади (LVU). Покрај тоа, судот утврдил дека мајката покажала рамнодушност во однос на безбедноста и заштитата на нејзиниот син, со тоа што ги носела непознатите мажите во својот стан.

Наместо сексуална работа, мајката сега е во потрога по друга работа, а во меѓувреме, аплицирала за социјална поддршка од владата, иако смета дека сепак нема да може да заработува толку колку што заработувала како сексуална работничка. Мајката, исто така, изјавила дека е во постојан контакт со нејзината мајка, која ветила дека ќе и помогне.

Според Управниот суд, таа е “загрижена за последиците на нејзиниот син”. Исто така, може да поднесе жалба против одлуката на судот во Административниот апелационен суд во Гетеборг во рок од три недели.

La Suède: Pas un pays pour les mères qui sont travailleuses sexuelles

Une mère travailleuse sexuelle perd la garde de son enfant  ¹

Östra Göinge, Suède. 13 janvier 2018.

La mère est dévastée par la décision du tribunal.

La mère travaillait comme travailleuse sexuelle dans un village d’Östra Göinge, où elle annonçait ses services par Internet. Elle a commencé à faire cela après avoir eu des ennuis financiers quand son fils n’avait que deux à trois mois. Elle invitait des hommes à son appartement et avait des rapports sexuels avec eux en échange d’argent. Son revenu était d’environ 2000-3000 euros par mois.

La mère et son fils vivaient de façon plus ou moins isolée, à part les visites de ses clients, qui arrêtaient les rapports sexuels avec la mère si le garçon se réveillait dans son berceau à côté du lit. La mère disait que le garçon ne semblait jamais avoir peur, mais s’intéressait à eux. Quand le garçon se réveillait, les hommes rentraient chez eux, comprenant la situation, comme ils avaient des enfants eux-mêmes, selon la décision du Tribunal administratif.

Tout a été révélé quand une personne a dénoncé la mère aux services sociaux, suite à quoi le fils a été pris en charge. Cela s’est passé sans aucune évaluation formelle de la situation, bien que les agissements de la mère aient été confirmés par ses annonces en ligne.

In Sweden we just found out that a mother lost custody of her baby because she was a sex worker and now an ambassador for the green party @miljopartiet, @mptukia has been forced out of politics after stating that sex work is work and that sex workers have human rights.

Le Tribunal administratif a attaché une importance particulière au fait que la mère avait invité des étrangers à avoir des rapports sexuels chez elle. Selon le tribunal, la situation générale signifiait qu’il existait un risque significatif de dommages pour la santé et le développement du fils.

Selon la mère, elle a arrêté le travail sexuel depuis que son fils a été pris en charge. Néanmoins, le Tribunal administratif a cru possible qu’elle ne répète son comportement, et pour cette raison a décidé que le fils doit rester placé en accord avec la Loi sur la prise en charge des jeunes personnes (LVU). En outre, le tribunal a retenu que la mère a fait preuve d’indifférence envers la sécurité et la protection de son enfant en amenant des étrangers mâles à son appartement.

Au lieu de travail sexuel, la mère va maintenant chercher un autre travail, et entre-temps a demandé des aides à l’État, bien quelle comprenne que ces paiements ne se monteront pas à 2000-3000 euros comme le revenu de son travail sexuel. La femme a également constaté qu’elle a repris contact avec sa mère, qui a promis de l’aider.

Selon le Tribunal administratif, elle est « dévastée par les conséquences pour son fils ». Elle peut faire appel de la décision du tribunal devant la Tribunal administratif d’appel de Göteborg dans un délai de trois semaines.

Suecia: No es país para madres trabajadoras sexuales

^{Una madre trabajadora sexual pierde la custodia de su hijo 1}

Östra Göinge, Suecia. 13 de enero de 2018.

La madre está devastada por un fallo judicial.

La madre trabajaba como trabajadora sexual en un pueblo de Östra Göinge, donde anunciaba sus servicios a través de Internet. Comenzó a hacerlo después de encontrarse con problemas financieros cuando su hijo tenía solo dos o tres meses. Invitó a hombres a su departamento y tuvo relaciones sexuales con ellos por dinero. Sus ganancias ascendieron a alrededor de 2.000-2.300 euros por mes.

La madre y su hijo vivían más o menos aislados, a excepción de las visitas de sus clientes, que dejaban de tener relaciones sexuales con la madre si el niño se despertaba en su cuna, situada junto a la cama. La madre dijo que el niño nunca parecía estar asustado, pero sentía curiosidad por ellos. Cuando el niño se despertaba, los hombres se iban a su casa, entendiendo la situación ya que tenían hijos propios, de acuerdo con el fallo del Tribunal Administrativo.

Todo salió a la luz después de que una persona preocupada denunció a la madre a los servicios sociales, después de lo cual se le retiró a la madre la custodia del niño. Esto sucedió sin una evaluación formal de la situación, aunque las acciones de la madre fueron confirmadas por sus anuncios en línea.

In Sweden we just found out that a mother lost custody of her baby because she was a sex worker and now an ambassador for the green party @miljopartiet, @mptukia has been forced out of politics after stating that sex work is work and that sex workers have human rights.

El Tribunal Administrativo concedió especial importancia al hecho de que la madre había invitado a extraños a comprar sexo en su casa. Según el tribunal, la situación general significaba que existía un riesgo significativo de que la salud y el desarrollo del hijo se vieran perjudicados.

Por su propia cuenta, la madre cerró el libro de citas de trabajo sexual desde que su hijo le fue retirado. Sin embargo, el Tribunal Administrativo creía que existía el riesgo de que repitiera su comportamiento y, por lo tanto, decidió que el hijo debe permanecer bajo cuidado estatal de conformidad con la Ley de Cuidado de los Jóvenes (LVU). Además, el tribunal sostuvo que la madre había mostrado indiferencia con respecto a la seguridad y protección de su hijo al traer extraños a su apartamento.

En lugar de trabajo sexual, la madre ahora buscará otro trabajo y, mientras tanto, ha solicitado el apoyo del gobierno, aunque se da cuenta de que esos pagos no serán tan altos como los 2.000-2.300 euros que ganó con el trabajo sexual. La mujer también declaró que había reanudado el contacto con su propia madre, que había prometido ayudarla.

Según el Tribunal Administrativo, está “devastada por las consecuencias para su hijo”. Ella puede apelar contra el fallo del tribunal en el Tribunal Administrativo de Apelaciones en Gotemburgo dentro de tres semanas.

Sweden: No Country for Sex-Working Mothers

Sex-working mother loses custody of her child ¹

Östra Göinge, Sweden. January 13, 2018.

Mother is devastated by court ruling. 

The mother worked as a sex worker in a village in Östra Göinge, where she advertised  her services via the internet. She started doing so after running into financial troubles when her son was only two to three months. She invited men into her apartment and had sex with them for money. Her earnings amounted to around 2,000-2,300 euros per month. 

The mother and her son lived more or less isolated, except for the visits from her clients, who stopped having sex with the mother if the boy woke up in his crib next to the bed. The mother said the boy never seemed to be scared but was curious of them. When the boy would wake up, the men went home, understanding the situation since they had children of their own, according to the Administrative Court’s ruling. 

Everything came into the open after a concerned person reported the mother to social services, whereupon the son was taken into care. This happened without any formal evaluation of the situation, although the mother’s actions were confirmed by her online ads. 

In Sweden we just found out that a mother lost custody of her baby because she was a sex worker and now an ambassador for the green party @miljopartiet, @mptukia has been forced out of politics after stating that sex work is work and that sex workers have human rights.

— Fuckförbundet (@fuckforbundet) January 15, 2018

The Administrative Court attached special importance to the fact that the mother had invited strangers buying sex into her home. According to the court, the overall situation meant that there was a significant risk that the son’s health and development would be harmed. 

By her own account, the mother closed the book on sex work since her son was taken into care. However, the Administrative Court believed there was a risk that she would repeat her behaviour and has therefore decided that the son should remain in state care in accordance with the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU). In addition, the court held that the mother had shown indifference regarding the safety and protection of her son by bringing male strangers to her apartment. 

Instead of sex work, the mother will now look for other work and in the meantime, she has applied for government support, although she  realises that those payments won’t be as high as the 2,000-2,300 euros she earned from sex work. The woman also stated that she had resumed contact with her own mother, who had promised to help her. 

According to the Administrative Court she is “devastated about the consequences for her son”. She can appeal against the court ruling at the Administrative Court of Appeals in Gothenburg within three weeks.
