Let's not punish prostitutes anymore, they work in trouble

From time to time, we are told about the ban on the imprisonment of prostitutes. It's news for the police station. The latter eagerly convey this news to newspapers and televisions. They even inform on the details. Sometimes they even give television pictures.

And we have opportunity to see young girls hiding their faces to avoid a public disgrace. Because our society here sees the practice of prostitution as a public disgrace. And I would say that this attempt to shame these girls public is a crime greater than their alleged crime. The cops have to give up this public shame tactic of prostitutes.

They are tasked with implementing the law, and the law tells them they must arrest even girls who commit prostitution. That's it. In fact, if I were police, I would turn a blind eye to a deaf ear. I would pretend I wouldn't see whores. I would ignore all charges that would come to me about this “crime”.

The police are expected to do big, important things, to show the country to criminals, are expected to be making body-sup on bandits all at all, but not to catch up with some girls who don't care. It's no sign of strength and skill to arrest some girls who are prostitution. Just as it is not a sign of strength and skill to arrest a drug addict, arrest him on the pretext that he holds and distributes it.
The truth is, we have a law prohibiting the practice of prostitution. Article 113 of our Penal Code says: “Prostitution fraud is fined or sentenced to jail for up to three years”. So the cops, let's just stick around and talk straight, do their job.

It's not about the cops then. Or let's just say that the problem with the cops is only related to exposure of girls to cameras. The problem really is with the law condemning prostitutes to prison. They have this law and other places in which, like us, medieval code of honor is a very important thing. Other countries have de facto high profile prostitution in their national GDP. Word comes, prostitution is illegal, namely banned and penalised even in Moldova, Ukraine.

You didn't know? Yeah, yeah, that's right. And that's ironic. Feeding the world with prostitutes and stopping the latter from prostitution in the country of origin under the motive of preserving public morality is fun and fun. It's like fucking with yourself.

And that's what we do in this case. We're kidding ourselves. Because we're also big prostitution exporters. The prostitution holds an important place in our national GDP. Without prostitution, we'd be poorer than we are. And with that I'm making a statement. I'm saying a truth. I'm not encouraging prostitution.

But on the other hand, I'm against punishing prostitutes. I'm against our Penal Code at this point, which, condemning the practice of prostitution, does nothing but prevent some adult girls from making their own choices in life. Because making a prostitute is a choice. And here I'm talking about the case that they're not used by anyone. It's one thing to use prostitution and it's another thing to practice prostitution. Whoever wants to be a prostitute, let him be.

We have no right either to humiliate publicly, or legally condemn the girls and women, or in general the people, because they use their bodies to survive, to feed their families, or perhaps that's how they like it. Because prostitution is this: to offer your body to someone for money.
It's time someone took the initiative to abolish the law, preventing prostitution. Let's stop the opening of brothels, although I also have this discussion, to penalise those who benefit sex services, those who pay for sex - whatever it is. But not prostitution.

There's no point in penalizing the girls who are prostitution. It's totally absurd. Even the penalties of the administrative nature with fines should not come to mind. In this circumstance, I repeat, we must punish others, we must punish those who exploit them.

And in exploitation it doesn't have to go into someone's attempt to hire someone as a prostitute. If it's not the exercise of physical and psychological violence, or other forms of fraud, pressure, and blackmail, if the girl is simply offered a normal offer, which she himself views as normal, then it's clear that it's not about using prostitution. Here we are in the situation that a girl willingly commits a prostitute. In short, he does a job, the job he wants. Good job. That's not what I'm saying. To be a prostitute is a good job. No, I can't talk about that. Because I don't think so.

I wouldn't be happy if my daughters or nieces became prostitutes. But I don't know how to punish a girl who makes a prostitute out of trouble. Because, that's to say, most of the trouble they do. And so, we have to leave the prostitutes in their plight. Let's not get into trouble with them.

My appeal is: MPs from Albania's Parliament, abolish Article 113 of the Penal Code! Make a law by which to protect Albanian girls from gang violence, make a law condemning, even strict, girls' pimps, but remove from the Penal Code that penalises girls who commit prostitution. Because it's an old-fashioned law. Over time. And unfair.
