WEA & Salvation Army call on States to recognize prostitution as a system of exploitation & violence

The World Evangelical Alliance together with our member, the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC), and the Salvation Army call on States to recognize prostitution with its connected variations as a system of exploitation and violence, and to adopt an abolitionist legal framework.
The video statement was delivered to the Human Rights Council 56th session, in the context of the Interactive dialogue with the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, its causes and consequences, on 21 and 24 June 2024.
The joint statement affirms the Special Rapporteur’s findings that prostitution is both intrinsically linked to violence against women and girls and constitutes a form of violence in and of itself.
