Global landscape on sexual and reproductive rights in November 2013

22 Nov 2013


November was marked by two relevant facts in the sexual and reproductive rights landscape: the financing of  Human Rights Campaign to promote LGBT rights and same sex y marriage around the world and the prroval by the French Assembly of a new bill  criminalizing clients of prostitution..

In early November, Scott Long wrote about the funds received by the US based NGO Human Right Campaign from hedge funds bankers linked to the Republican Party — who profit from highly speculative financial operations that damage global South countries – to promote LGBT rights and same sex marriage. One of the funders justified this campaign as a way to promote the rights of individuals who are arrested, tortured and killed by countries  that enemies  of  the U.S as well as to ensure family and social stability?  As to discuss this  new trend  SPW has heard Brazil few Brazilian scholars and activists.

In France, the National Assembly approved a bill criminalizing clients of prostitution that makes them paying  a fine . The decision is generating a heated debate in in French French society, where some polls  indicate the 2/3 of the public is against the law.  What are the human rights implications of the project? What does it means in a country known for its long tradition of  respecting the freddom of  individuals? What will be the global political impacts of the new law? What do French prostitutes think of the new law provision? SPW has gathered a series of articles on the voting, its antecedents and aftermat as to shed light on this heated discussion.
