E Aron, E Froge

    Bulletin De L'Academie Nationale De Medecine
    |March 1, 1991

    Summary

    Public health services historically feared venereal diseases, leading to failed prostitution regulations. Reintroducing such measures, like brothels, is ineffective and contradicts modern morals and international obligations.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Sociology
    • Legal Studies

    Background:

    • Historical public health policies on prostitution were driven by fears of venereal diseases.
    • Past attempts at state regimentation of prostitution, including the establishment of brothels, proved to be a complete failure and were abolished in 1946.
    • The resurgence of concerns regarding sexually transmitted infections, such as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), has reignited debates surrounding prostitution control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the historical and contemporary approaches to regulating prostitution.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of proposed measures, such as reintroducing "maisons closes" (brothels), in addressing illicit prostitution.
    • To advocate for a more inclusive and rights-based approach to the social and health issues surrounding prostitution.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical analysis of public health and legal responses to prostitution.
    • Critical review of proposed regulatory measures and their potential impact.
    • Examination of the social and ethical implications of current prostitution laws.

    Main Results:

    • Previous attempts at regimenting prostitution were ineffective and ultimately abolished.
    • Current laws criminalize soliciting while prostitution itself is not illegal, creating a legal paradox.
    • Prostitutes face legal judgment and lack of acknowledged responsibility, unlike their clients.
    • Proposed measures like "maisons closes" are deemed inefficient against illicit activities and conflict with societal morals and international obligations.

    Conclusions:

    • Regulatory measures for prostitution, particularly those involving state control and brothels, have historically failed and are unlikely to succeed.
    • Current legal frameworks create a discriminatory environment for prostitutes, denying them equal rights and social security.
    • A collaborative approach involving legal professionals, healthcare providers, law enforcement, and sex workers is essential to address the marginalization of prostitutes and ensure their access to housing and healthcare.
