[GA - WITHDRAWN] Regulating the Sex Industry

---

The World Assembly,

Acknowledging that regulations must be put in place to protect the rights and freedoms of sex workers and to prevent potential injustices in the sex industry; hereby enacts as follows:

1. In this resolution,
   • a “sex worker” is any consenting adult who receives a source of income from sexual services, performances, or any other consensual sexual act;
     
     
   • a “sex work institution” is any club, brothel, network, or other organization that provides an avenue for legal sex work or employs legal sex workers.
   
   
2. Member nations that legalize any form of sex work must establish a national body for the regulation of the sex industry in their nation. That body must:
   • Establish and upkeep an impartial channel for reporting and addressing abuse, unfair treatment, discrimination, or subversion of individual rights in any sex work context; Any valid reported complaints must be investigated thoroughly by said body.
     
     
   • License and register all identifiable current or prospective sex workers prior to legal ability to perform sex work or be employed at a sex work institution. Before licensing any new workers, that body must:
     • Confirm those workers are of legal age of consent in their nation and do not have a history of sex offences or abuses towards sex workers;
       
       
     • Inform workers of their individual rights during sex work, including their rights to consent and protection;
       
       
     • Clarify that any violation or transgression of the mandates in this resolution may result in criminal justice or the loss or suspension of their sex work license, and that any abuse or violence inflicted non-consensually as a part of sex work will result in permanent revocation of sex work license;
     
     
   • Put protections in place to prevent sex workers from facing physical, sexual, or psychological abuse/violence during sex work or as a part of any employment at a sex work institution;
     
     
   • Provide and mandate the usage of barrier contraception during any form of sex work involving penetration;
   
   
3. Sex work institutions must:
   • Not participate in sex trafficking, blackballing, or any other form of physical, sexual, or psychological harm to their employees in an effort to subvert those workers' right to consent;
     
     
   • Abide by the same laws, regulations, and responsibilities as in any other industry, including health, safety, and compensation regulations;
   
   
4. • Any participants in sex work must receive complete STI testing – or vaccination when it is available – prior to skin-on-skin sexual contact or the exchange of bodily fluids, and must continue to receive testing on all STIs (that are not covered by prior vaccination) on a regular and frequent basis while they continue to participate in said sexual contact. Said testing and vaccination must be provided by each national body at a reasonable price, or, if possible, gratis.
     
     
   • Any participant in sex work who has contracted an STI may not participate in skin-on-skin sexual contact or the exchange of bodily fluids as a part of any kind of sex work until the time in which that STI is fully and verifiably cured or treated to the point where it is no longer sexually transmittable.
     
     
   • Participants in skin-on-skin sexual contact or the exchange of bodily fluids as a part of sex work must inform all other participants if they carry any incurable STIs that have been treated to a point of non-transmissibility.

Against, again, because of the unwarranted and unneeded invasion of privacy contained in 4.c.

Against

Reasons:

1. Refer to @St George ’s post

2. A National body for controlling s*x work in each WA nation may not have enough control over every s*x work institution, and establishing provincial bodies in each nation’s provinces would be more effective

3. Any national body or council, much like any national government, can be subject to corruption methods such as bribery, and this resolution does not provide any anti-bribery measures

4. S*x work is unethical and should be abolished. Natural s*x is okay, that’s just how life goes. But, having s*x often just to get money is just the worker abusing his/her own body in order to become a millionaire. Earning money through actual success and effort in other jobs is fine, but getting rich through using your body is wrong and is an injustice towards the body and soul and the same time, so it is thus unethical.
