Setback for the rights of sex workers: The majority in Parliament calls for the criminalisation of the use of sexual services across Europe, which would be counter-productive. Fortunately, the vote is non-binding.

@echo_pbreyer@digitalcourage.social I hate how this is one of the things that Christians and Democrats are actually worse at than the Far Right and Conservatives.
@echo_pbreyer@digitalcourage.social At least I'm glad that not one Dutch politician voted in favour. I feel represented in that regard.
@echo_pbreyer There is much more in that resolution that is conservative, dangerous and an open door for many infringements on human and basic rights. But when it comes to prostitution, no one looks closely. Fighting prostitution must be alright.
@sonjdol Conservative in content yes, but the Rapporteur is a social democrat
@echo_pbreyer I know. One who doesn't respect the official party position
@sonjdol Well, she has her group's support, see graphics
@echo_pbreyer I am answering you as someone who is very familiar with the topic, just FYI
