ECHR Rules on July 25: France's Criminalisation of Buying Sex in M.A. and Others Case Is Lawful
Jul 25, 2024, 09:17 AM
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled on July 25 that the criminalisation of the purchase of sexual acts in France does not violate the European Convention on Human Rights. This decision in the case of M.A. and Others supports France’s abolitionist approach to prostitution, which targets the demand side rather than penalising those who are prostituted. The ruling has been welcomed by feminist groups and human rights advocates, who see it as a significant victory for the protection of vulnerable women and the fight against coercive sex work. The decision has been praised for acknowledging the achievements of the abolitionist model. #ECHRpress
