Prostitution bill, Pia Covre: “Illiberal M5S-LeU proposal, we will fight”

“An illiberal bill that violates individual freedoms”. Pia Covre, founder of the Committee for the civil rights of prostitutes together with Carla Corso, interviewed by Adnkronos, intervenes on the M5S-LeU bill (first signatory the pentastellated senator Alessandra Maiorino) which, aiming to modify the Merlin law, provides for more severe penalties for clients of sex workers, even prison. “We are ready to fight against a provision that does not recognize self-determination,” she announces. A bill, in her opinion, “poorly written, even mystifying with respect to the data presented, which does not take into account alternative points of view”. “The provision – explains Covre – stems from a work by a Parliamentary Commission which, starting from the Constitutional Court’s ruling on the Merlin law, aimed at gathering information through various hearings: interventions in our opinion selected and totally biased with opinions essentially coming from the Italian, foreign and Catholic abolitionist panorama. A predetermined objective therefore to reach the conclusion that we must apply the ‘Swedish model’ of criminalization of customers to reduce demand. A bill therefore created ad hoc. I do not hide the fact that I struggled a lot to be audited. “. “The tools to punish are already there in Italy, what is actually missing is detailed feedback on the world of prostitution to help the emergence”, underlines Covre. “The Merlin law also says it: sex work is a matter of self-determination. But freedom of choice must be accompanied by greater protections, by the guarantee of rights and protection by the State with respect to potential exploiters. In this direction, for over 30 years we ask that the Merlin law be changed, because it certainly does not prohibit sex work but leaves it in a limbo in which the rights and protections of sex workers are insistent “. So Covre wonders why he should focus on a law that affects customers when “there are already a whole series of measures that punish the exploitation of prostitution and anti-trafficking laws. From this point of view, then the pdl is a lie.” Instead, it is necessary to “apply those measures by investing adequate resources, not underfunding them”. In Italy, he concludes, “there will be at least 70,000 sex workers but the customers are millions, do we really want to pass a family-ruining law? That the police, instead of criminals, start chasing our customers?”
