Abstract

Prostitucija ili seksualni rad se poistovjećuje s velikim javnozdravstvenim problemom, a narušeno mentalno zdravlje seksualnih radnika prvenstveno je povezano s različitim oblicima nasilja. Nasilje nad seksualnim radnicima je globalni problem, ali i dalje je jedan od najmanje prijavljenih oblika nasilja te ga samim time karakterizira velika tamna brojka. Glavna svrha ovog rada je usporediti različite modele regulacije prostitucije u svijetu te ponuditi pregled aktualnih spoznaja o različitim aspektima prostitucije. Također, u radu će se dati osvrt na utjecaj pandemije COVID-19 na seksualno ponašanje, pristup uslugama i kvalitetu života seksualnih radnika. Temeljem pregleda aktualnih spoznaja, predlaže se uključivanje nevladinih organizacija koje se bave zaštitom prava seksualnih radnika, u oblikovanje zakona, politika i programa koji utječu na njihove živote. Također, preporuke Europskog parlamenta odnose se na izmjenu zakona koji kažnjavaju seksualne radnike. Osim toga, ovaj rad služi kao podsjetnik da seksualni radnici u velikom broju država, tek trebaju dobiti punu zaštitu ljudskih prava.

Abstract (english)

Prostitution or sex work is a major public health problem, but the ill mental health of sex workers is primarily related to different forms of violence. Violence against sex workers is a global problem and yet remains one of the least reported forms of violence, characterized by a high percentage of dark numbers. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to compare different legislations of various regulatory models in the world and provide an analysis of current knowledge on various aspects of prostitution. Also, this paper will address the impact of COVID-19 on sexual behavior, access to services, and quality of life for sex workers. Based on a review of current knowledge, it is proposed to involve non-governmental organizations engaged in the protection of sex workers’ rights in shaping laws, policies, and programs that affect their lives. Also, the European Parliament's recommendations relate to amending laws penalizing sex workers. In addition, this paper serves as a reminder that sex workers in too many countries have yet to be granted full human rights protections.
