prostitution, after raids anger: "That picture is a shame
The image, taken within the command of the municipal police after the final set, it triggers the indignation of readers and voluntary organizations. Carla Corso, historic leader of the prostitutes, he rails against the sheriffs, mayors
(Stephanie Parmer)
Angry, frightened, and finally exhausted. Huddled on the floor, half naked, the body of dust on the dirt floor of a security cell. The Nigerian girl detained during the last roundup anti-prostitution and photographed under the command of the municipal police of Parma, after he dropped to the ground helpless, it has become, despite himself, the symbol of a new "witch hunt" , which began with the paper on the safety and continued with the orders (applied or not announced) the sheriff mayors.
"What has this woman done wrong to be put in a cell?" Asks an indignant reader. The answer, provocative, coming from Carla Corso, historic leader of prostitutes: "It 's an unwanted an outcast, a woman who is perhaps a victim of trafficking and trying to live or survive with your body. And this, in an Italy increasingly intolerant , has become a sin. "The list of prohibitions stretches every day: no begging, washing windows, rummaging in bins ..." Being poor is becoming a crime and persecuted in this age of new immigrants are the most vulnerable and women ... There are too many fireflies are slaves and sold on the sidewalks because they are threatened by who made them arrive in Italy. "
" The anti-prostitution raids - more - only serve to make the fireflies that crazy escape from a city \u200b\u200bto another or from one neighborhood to another in search of a more tolerant climate. She photographed never ask for help from those he held in that cell? You'll never trust the police? Even if a victim of trafficking do not tell him and if, together with his colleagues, will be driven in an even greater shadow , such as whether it will be forced into prostitution in an apartment, not even meet with volunteers in a position to explain that may enter a path protection. Mayors sheriff are riding the theme of prostitution as the only effect of getting criminalize those who would need protection .
"I find it shameful - Course continues, referring to the photo - his body left the ground at a police headquarters. I find it shameful that our police officers, police and traffic wardens to monitor immigrants without informing them of their rights and that the prostitution trade for a security problem. " Inform those who are victims not criminalize it, this is what the union of sex workers and organizations that descend daily on the streets to tear off the sidewalks would like fireflies. In Parma, as in Verona, in Rome as in Milan.
Marco Bufo, national coordinator of "On the Road," which since 1990 is working prostitution and trafficking is said to concern the new Italian climate, "We are skeptical of the orders of the mayors were born in the wake of the Charter of Parma and the anti-prostitution raids. Law enforcement should be submitted in a way not to make fines but to understand the mechanisms that underlie certain phenomena should be prepared to read the signals, whether in front of women have historically exploited or not. would need to face reality and find pragmatic solutions ie, areas where prostitution can take place in broad daylight, instead of food or ride politically perception of insecurity of citizens. "
Un lettore che si firma con il nick Zavarollo ha una sua soluzione, ovviamente provocatoria ( Nei commenti l'intervento integrale, ndr ): "Almeno voi, clienti di Parma, siate onesti. Voi che siete sempre riusciti a eludere, chissà come mai, i controlli della municipale e dei carabinieri, unitevi per aiutare le donne che stuprate. Comprategli un appartamento collettivo. Così almeno il sindaco sarà contento. Sotto il tappeto della malavita la polvere del degrado non si muove. E Parma risplenderà più che mai".
