Keywords:
Prostitution, sex work, human rights, Prostitución, trabajo sexual, derechos humanosAbstract
The article describes and analyzes the Spanish policies to deal with street prostitution since the end of 2005 when Barcelona’s Bylaw on Coexistence was passed. This local bylaw prohibits and sanctions offering, negotiating or requesting of sexual services in public spaces. Most Spanish municipalities have adopted similar bylaws prohibiting prostitution in the street in recent years. The article aims to analyze the impact of these regulations and their implementation on the rights of people working in prostitution. In order to achieve this it takes into consideration contributions that feminist movements have made to debates on prostitution and public policies.
El presente artículo describe y analiza las políticas que se han venido implantando en España para tratar la prostitución en la calle, desde que, a finales de 2005, el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona aprobara la Ordenanza de Medidas para Fomentar y Garantizar la Convivencia Ciudadana. Dicha ordenanza prohíbe y castiga la oferta, negociación o solicitud de servicios sexuales en espacios públicos. Muchas ciudades españolas han adoptado ordenanzas similares en años recientes. El artículo pretende analizar el impacto de estas regulaciones y de su implementación sobre los derechos de las personas que trabajan en la prostitución. Para ello, toma en consideración aportaciones realizadas por movimientos feministas a los debates sobre prostitución y políticas públicas.
