Fragebogen zur Vorbereitung des IAC Workshops von Sexworker und Aktivist Will (s.o.)
-Wäre doch klassen, wenn wir für die Arbeitsgruppe drei Fragebogenantworten für A - CH - D hinbekommen. Wer will sich mal Gedanken machen?-
Hello workers of the world! I'm Will Rockwell. I've put together a quick 12-question policy survey on punitive policies and practices affecting young people under the 'age of consent' involved in the sex trade, whether they are involved as a result of choice, circumstance, or coercion. I have compiled the below survey in preparation for the YouthForce at the International AIDS Conference in Vienna, as well as for organizing around the subject after July.
Please take the time to distribute the below survey to your affiliate sex work projects around the globe, especially those that work with or by-and-for youth involved in the sex trade, but also groups familiar with the legal issues, and return the completed surveys to me at rockwellwill ät gmail.com or will ät spreadmagazine.org. In the next day I hope to have a French-language version complete and sent out to the list. If any of you are fluent in other languages (i.e., Russian, Chinese) and are available to translate, please let me know, it would help extend this survey as widely as possible! Please also write me if you have any suggestions or guidance on the direction of this labor of love ;) Looking forward to your responses! -Will

All questions below refer to young people under the 'age of consent,' which is the minimum age defined by law after which a person is considered able to have consensual sex. Please respond to the following questions to the best of your knowledge and note when you are at all uncertain. Please also note when there is a difference between national, state/province, and local law, and, if possible, the statute(s) in which it can be found. If there is a difference between the letter of the law and the practice of law enforcement, please also note the difference in as clear and specific terms as possible.
1.) Is there a legal distinction made between consensual noncommercial sex among minors and consensual commercial sex among minors?
2.) Is there a legal distinction between consensual commercial sex and non-consensual (i.e., coerced, trafficked) commercial sex among minors, or are all young people involved in the sex trade considered trafficked?
3.) Is there a legal difference between a person trading sex under the 'age of majority' and a person trading sex as an adult? If so, what is the difference?
4.) What charge or charges is/are most often used against young people under the 'age of majority' trading sex? Feel free to mark more than one if applicable:
A.) Vagrancy
B.) Disorderly Conduct
C.) Crime against Morality
D.) Status Offenses (i.e., truancy, runaway)
5.) Is there a legal difference between a young person selling sex and a young person promoting/pimping another young person in the sex trade? Do young people promoting/pimping other young people get similar sentences as adults?
6.) Are youth labeled as physically or psychiatrically disordered because of trading sex. If so, by whom and what is the sentence (i.e., incarceration, 'vocational therapy,' etc.)?
7.) Are there collateral consequences for a prostitution conviction for young people under the 'age of majority,' such as immigration consequences, the loss of social benefits, or custodial/parenting consequences?
8.) What is the most common sentence used against a young person charged with a crime for trading sex? Feel free to mark more than one if applicable:
A.) Incarceration in an adult penal institution,
B.) State custody in a juvenile penal institution
C.) Privatized custody (i.e., convent, NGO) or other 'helping' institutions,
D.) Corporeal punishment (i.e., caning, flogging)
E.) Vocational programs/indentured servitude
9.) Are you aware of any special juvenile prisons or 'rehabilitation centers' for young people trading sex or trafficked young people in your country or region? If yes, please describe the institutions.
10.) Are there different laws used to police young people of different genders (i.e., disorderly conduct for young men trading sex, prostitution for cisgender and transgender women trading sex)? What about different laws being used to police different types of sexual conduct (i.e., oral, anal, vaginal)?
11.) What areas or venues are most targeted by the police (i.e., streets, massage parlors, brothels)? When street-based youth are detained, what legal charges are used to detain them (i.e., loitering, homelessness, drug policing)?
12.) Would you like to add anything about the legal and social treatment of young people trading sex in your region?
