Protesters including brothel owners and sex workers have demonstrated in front of the Spanish Parliament over a bill that would penalize prostitution customers and sex club owners or pimps with sentences up to 4 years in prison
People gather during a demonstration against a bill that would penalize prostitution customers and enablers such as club owners or pimps, facing sentences up to 4 years of imprisionment in front of the Spanish Parliament in Madrid, Spain, Monday, Sept. 12, 2022. Spain is considered to be one of the less punitive legal frames for prostitution in Europe, that would turn into a so called nordic model under the new bill, punishing both clients and enablers.
“I came here today to protect my job,” said one demonstrator, Sandra, a single mother who has done sex work for 12 years.But the new sex worker union Otras didn't back Monday's protest because sex club owners arranged it.
