La prostitution - non pas punir, mais prévenir et reclasser

This publication offers numerous articles that developed from the International Abolitionist Federation-sponsored Frankfurt Congress in October 1956. The first article is a comparative examination of abolitionism in many countries of the world, ending with a study of twentieth-century events, such as women's liberation and sexual liberation, which have changed the occupation. Prostitution in West and East Germany is discussed in the next articles, which give way to the feature article, entitled "Can We Prevent Prostitution?" Arguing that prostitution cannot be eradicated, only lessened, the article examines the following topics: pimping and procuring, women's reasons for prostituting themselves, the client, public morality, and education and legislation related to prostitution. The document ends with an article on rehabilitating former prostitutes and a list of the resolutions adopted by the Frankfurt Congress.
