prostitution, hypocrisy and the Aliens Act

On June Fernandez, a member of SOS Racism, Bizkaia, Bilbao. A sordid photos released last week by a leading English newspaper that showed scenes of explicit sex in the heart of Barcelona have reopened the debate on how institutions must act of prostitution. A necessary debate, but unfortunately, is being treated as a mere problem of public order. What worries the public is not the situation of multiple discrimination, invisibility and violations in which women live, mostly illegal immigrants, prostitutes, but their neighborhoods are interspersed with scenes look marginal.
Euskadi is no stranger to this debate. Bilbao City Council, for example, has spent months preparing an ordinance in the likeness of Barcelona. The goal, once again, not to protect Nigerian women without papers that offer sexual services in the streets of our city, but keep them dispersed and hidden (which makes the public health intervention with them) to prevent tarnish the image of the town. But the pictures of Barcelona have also served to reopen the appellant discussion between passes if the final solution to abolish or regulate prostitution. Those pushing to empty the streets of women engaged in prostitution claim the latter. In our view, however, the abolition versus regulation debate has been overtaken by social reality.

These news are based only on official data and rigorous in the account of individual policemen who disregard the recommendation of the regional ombudsman issued in 2004 not to provide the press with the origin of those arrested for not feeding xenophobia. The latest

Ikuspegi study, more than half the population thinks that the arrival of immigrants affects negatively safety. It is not uncommon, with news that young North Africans described Chavalit slapping or assaulting elderly to steal her necklace (I quote as published in certain media of wide circulation), much of the public internalize these guys are, per se

, potential offenders and also the worst sort.
chronic yielded the caricatures "more than reinforce prejudice and xenophobic stereotyping? At SOS Racism we have of course not. Furthermore, in contrast to reports serious as recently published by the Department of Justice, which states, less than 8% of young offenders are immigrants from the Maghreb. Read

Our job is to raise public awareness to promote equality and respect for diversity, not from the moral superiority, but assuming that you all live conditioned by prejudice and racist stereotypes.
