However, as pro-life and pro-family lobbyists have frequently experienced, UN ‘experts’ often have a radically different view of reality that is alien to most humans on the planet.

Unbelievable. Maybe we could hook up these Jamaican would-be prostitutes with the UN blue-helmeted rapists. Perfect fit.

For all those that haven't spent any great amount of time in Italy, those pretty ladies you see standing by the side of the road in the middle of nowhere with an umbrella over their heads aren't waiting on the bus. Took me a while to figure that out but I can be pretty slow sometimes.

The UN committee felt immigrant women in Italy were unfairly restricted from entering into prostitution.

I dont know whether to laugh harder, cry while laughing harder or just giggle and shake my head....

The UN is not even embarassed to have taken this position.They are souless

[CzarNicky]

This is satire, right?

The UN committee felt immigrant women in Italy were unfairly restricted from entering into prostitution.

Can prostitution be legal? Only by breaking a number of moral and ethical laws can it even be possible. It requires contraception, abortion, infanticide, or abandoning children. This is the apogee of the separation of sex and procreation, possible only by the rise of the atheistic state.

A simple application of Natural law shows that only by the reduction of not only the person of the prostitute to an object, but it requires the reduction of the fruits of sex, children, to objects with which to dispose.

The USA should not be supporting this employment agency for leftist idiots. The UN is a complete waste of money

Pimp Daddy Kofi ain't happy with Italy

Oh help those behind the times living American people, which by the way was used by Clinton to make certain sex practices acceptable and to update prudes.
Back to the subject:
In Europe prostitutes are legal, are called sex workers, can be unionized, are taxed, and perform their work downtown in buildings right off main squares.
The UN did not make this up, they want a non discrimination policy, and perhaps who knows, make something affordable that's urgently needed at lower prices.
As a justification one can hear:
We have less sex crimes than the USA.

I have to agree with the UN on this one .... but from a different angle. The Italians, rather than criminalizing poor immigrant, should restrict immigration to the country, and criminalize the CLIENTS of prostitutes instead of the prostitutes.

It's the same old story, criminalize only the female part of the problem. It is discrimination pure and simple.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Is prostitution illegal in Italy? If so, they need only say "piss off" to the UN. Or would that be "fungool"?

[A Ruckus of Dogs]

On the issue of prostitution, for example, while prostitution on the street is against the law, it is legal in private homes. Many immigrants do not have private homes. Is that not discrimination based on ethnicity and race in terms of prostitution laws?”

GOod grief ... if this isn't a twist on logic, I don't know what is.
