ADVERTISEMENTS for prostitutes in newspapers and magazines should be banned, says Spain's president, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
He revealed that his cabinet is already examining various legal formulae to stop pimps, brothel-owners and prostitutes themselves from advertising their services in the press.
“For as long as these contact adverts continue to exist, they are contributing towards legalising this activity, so these adverts should be eliminated,” stressed Zapatero yesterday during a parliamentary debate.
His comments were met with a round of applause.
The overall intention to outlaw such advertising is part of Zapatero's wider plan to fight against sexual exploitation, particularly since it is the more vulnerable members of society – such as impoverished immigrants and very young women – who fall victim to pimps.
