Falls if amendment 3 is adopted.
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 1 with the following paragraph:
"Individuals in prostitution are part of society and are fully entitled to safety, respect for their dignity, and protection from exploitation. As the vast majority of them are women and girls, addressing this issue is crucial for promoting gender equality and safeguarding the rights of women and girls. According to the latest reports available, there are approximately 42 million individuals in prostitution worldwide, with significant gaps in data from regions such as Central Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, which rank as top sex tourism destinations."
Explanatory note
The spirit of this amendment is to more factually reflect reality regarding the very sensitive topic of prostitution, which is strongly linked to trafficking in human beings, as it is clearly stated in 1983 Resolution (2014) on Prostitution, Trafficking and Modern Slavery in Europe

If adopted, amendment 4 falls.
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 2 with the following paragraph:
"The Parliamentary Assembly observes with concern that trafficking in human beings remains a crime with a significant gender dimension. Women and girls represent 63% of all registered victims in the European Union in the years 2019-2020, while the victims of sexual exploitation made up 51% of the share. Among those victims, 87% are female: 73% women and 27% girls, who continue to be particularly vulnerable to violence and abuse, and face high levels of discrimination in access to education, employment, health, housing, justice, and protection from violence. Addressing the root causes of this vulnerability is essential to protect individuals, especially women, girls, and transgender women from exploitation and ensure their rights are upheld."
Explanatory note
To effectively protect rights of those in prostitution, the connection between the sex market system and human trafficking for sexual exploitation should be emphasized from the start. The numbers referenced are from 2022 European Commission Report on the fight against trafficking in humans beings.

"As clearly demonstrated in the reports provided by any monitoring institutional bodies, such as the UNODC global reports on trafficking in persons, and EUROSTAT reports, the vast majority of victims of trafficking of human beings around the world are women and girls. Policies adopted by each member State to counter such a phenomenon should therefore be gender-sensitive and based on the higher vulnerability of these victims."
Explanatory note
The gender aspect in the fight against trafficking in human beings is significant. In 2021, 68.4 % of registered victims of trafficking in human beings in the EU were women or girls.

In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 6 with the following paragraph:
"The Assembly recalls that, in its preamble, the United Nations Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others proclaims that prostitution and the evil that accompanies it, namely trafficking in human beings for the purpose of prostitution, are incompatible with the dignity and worth of the human person. The Assembly recognises the close link between prostitution and trafficking in human beings for sexual exploitation, the latter being facilitated by information and communication technologies, including the internet and social media. The Assembly stresses that co-operation with people in prostitution and relevant civil society organisations, particularly those providing assistance to people in prostitution, should be part of the implementation of anti-trafficking policies, as they are best placed to identify cases where people in prostitution are victims of trafficking."

In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 6 with the following paragraph:
"The Assembly notes that trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation, especially in the sex market, is the primary cause behind trafficking in human beings, particularly with regard to women and girls. To this regard, it is of extreme importance that policies adopted by member States take into account any data and figures available on the matter and include in their process of decision-making the voices of those who experienced prostitution or work with survivors, as they are best placed to identify where prostituted persons are also victims of trafficking."

If adopted, amendment 7 falls.
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 7 with the following paragraph:
"Social stigma, marginalisation and post-traumatic stress disorder constitute barriers for persons in prostitution who wish to exit their situation, rendering them more vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. This should be addressed as a matter of urgency by supporting policies of decriminalisation of persons in prostitution and by supporting those who decide for any reason to change situations and access to employment."
Explanatory note
Decades of studies have proven that persons in prostitution, and women in particular, develop various forms of addiction (from alcohol, drugs or psychotropic medicines) in order to endure the constant abuse they suffer at the hands of the clients and pimps.

If adopted, amendments 8, 49 falls.
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 8 with the following paragraph:
"Referring to its Resolution 1983 (2014) “Prostitution, trafficking and modern slavery in Europe", the Assembly acknowledges that in paragraph 127 of the conclusions, the rapporteur said that “despite the fact that each system presents advantages and disadvantages, I think that policies prohibiting the purchase of sex are those that are more likely to have a positive impact on reducing trafficking in human beings. While acknowledging that each country should hold a thorough discussion on its policy on prostitution and that the final decision must be taken in a sovereign manner, I personally consider the Swedish model as the most successful in the context of tackling human trafficking”."
Explanatory note
Since the Report fails to include the conclusions of Resolution 1983 (2014), it is important that the Assembly is aware that voting in favour of this report would mean contradict itself and denying what the same Assembly voted for on the same topic only ten years ago.

In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 9 with the following paragraph:
"The Assembly refers to the judgement of 25 July 2024 in the case of M.A. and Others v. France, in which the European Court of Human Rights, while ruling that the French abolitionist model based on the criminalisation of the purchase of sexual acts does not violate the European Convention on Human Rights, adds that none of the public policies put in place in the States are free of controversy to date. It also considers that national authorities have a duty to keep their approach to prostitution under constant review, especially when they are based on the prohibition of the purchase of sexual acts, so as to be able to amend and adapt them in the light of developments in European societies, international standards and the consequences of their implementation in a given situation. The Court notes, however, that there is no unanimity on the fact that criminalising the purchase of sexual acts is a direct cause of increased violence against prostitutes, and that the decriminalisation of prostitutes combined with the criminalisation of the purchase of sexual acts contributes to reversing the balance of power with the client for prostitutes, by positioning them as victims and enabling them to denounce the client in the event of violence, since it is now the client who is implicated."

"The Assembly refers to the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights of 25 July 2024 in the case of M.A. and Others v. France, which confirmed that the French authorities had not overstepped their discretion ("margin of appreciation") in enacting the contested prohibition of the purchase of sexual, in so far as it resulted from a balance struck by means of a democratic process within the society in question and formed part of a comprehensive approach – provided for by Law no. 2016-444 of 13 April 2016 – in which account had been taken of the various concerns raised by the applicants in the case."
Explanatory note
The Report mentions the judgment of the ECHR of 25th July 2024, but fails to mention that all claims of the applicants were rejected by the Court. It is of fundamental importance that the information provided to the Assembly are accurate and faithful.

If adopted, amendment 40 falls.
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 10 with the following paragraph:
"The Assembly notes the existence of a debate between abolitionist and decriminalisation models of prostitution. Numerous human rights organisations, experts and officials have recommended full decriminalisation of prostitution as the best way to protect the health and human rights of people in prostitution. The Assembly notes, however, that many others, including organisations of survivors of prostitution or defenders of women's rights, support the abolition of prostitution, notably by criminalising procuring and the purchase of sexual acts, on the grounds that prostitution is contrary to the fundamental rights recognised in international law, in particular freedom and human dignity. Indeed, the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (Palermo Protocol - 2000) condemns procuring as a form of human trafficking (Art. 3.a.) and requires States Parties to discourage the demand that fosters all forms of human exploitation (Art. 9.5.). This obligation is reiterated in UN General Assembly Resolution 77/194 and explicitly recognised by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in its report "Discouraging the demand that fosters trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation (2021)". The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) explicitly recognises, in paragraph 8 of its General Comment No. 38 (2020), that international law relating to trafficking in women and the exploitation of prostitution of women has been codified and developed in the aforementioned 1949 UN Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others, ratified by more than half the member States of the Council of Europe. The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (1979) requires States parties to "take all appropriate measures, including legislation, to suppress all forms of traffic in women and exploitation of prostitution of women" (Art. 6). The Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (CETS No. 197) condemns the purchase of sexual acts and, to discourage demand, encourages States to criminalise the use of exploitative services. The European Parliament resolution on the regulation of prostitution in the European Union, adopted on 14 September 2023 reaffirms the same principles, considering prostitution to be incompatible with human dignity, calling for the decriminalisation and support of people in prostitution, and affirming the need to tackle the demand for prostitution."

This stance was taken among others by the former Assembly rapporteur Resolution 1983 (2014) “Prostitution, trafficking and modern slavery in Europe", the Special Rapporteur of the United Nations Human Rights Council in her recent report "Prostitution and violence against women and girls", UNODC and EUROSTAT findings, alongside with many ONGs and women organisations.

"The Assembly takes note that the member States of the Council of Europe have chosen to adopt various approaches: while Belgium has decriminalised prostitution, other States, such as Sweden and France, have adopted abolitionist legislation. However, the available data tend to prove that the decriminalisation model fails to truly protect people in prostitution. There are 36 times more prostitutes in Germany than in Sweden per 1 000 inhabitants. In the Netherlands and Belgium, the number of victims of sexual exploitation continues to rise. The European Parliament notes that, according to Europol, this model enables traffickers to take advantage of the legal environment to exploit their victims more easily, and that this multiplies situations of human trafficking and violence. It also notes that the decriminalisation of procuring and the purchase of sexual services has led to an increase in human trafficking for sexual exploitation. On the other hand, while the abolitionist model is not a universal solution for reducing demand, sex trafficking, violence or exploitation, evidence from countries that have adopted it shows positive results in terms of access to exit and professional reintegration programmes, or the penal response to cases of procuring and human trafficking. Demand for prostitution in Sweden fell from 13.6 % to 7.9 % between 1995 and 2008 as a result of implementation."
