Some 100 sex workers went to the streets of Raval in Barcelona recently to denounce a recent crackdown be Barcelona's Guàrdia Urbana.
The police sweeps made few arrests, but were staged to intimidate prostitutes and make headlives.
While prostitution is legal under Spanish law, Barcelona's municipal orinare forbids the "offering, solicitation or regotiation, weather direct or indirect, of paid sexual services in public sapce". Infractions are punishable by fines of up to 3.000€ for sex workers and 198€ for clients. Clarisa Veloci, the organizer, says that around 90% of city prostitutes are self-employed and have willingly chossen to do the job that they do. She says that many police fires have no legal grounds and infrige the rights of prostitutes.
They only wants to work without feel uncomfortable on they work and amounts to gender violence.àngels_
