The effort to prohibit  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tprostitution derives from the notion of a substantial or at least significant  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcongruence of prostitution and human trafficking. Kiss qualifies this idea in  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trelation to Zurich and replaces it with the notion of a grey area said to be organised  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tby the family or the clan. This statement is dangerous, because it alludes to  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstereotypes of criminal Rroma clans, explained as being hierarchically organized  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand culturally determined: <em style=\"font-family: Arial;\">\u201cIn Zurich,  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thowever, the smallest part of prostitutes are victims of human trafficking and  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\textreme exploitation, the women of the office for women migration [FIZ] say \u2013  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand vice versa, there are also self-employed sex workers. The Hungarian women often  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twork in the area in between, in a frame, which is organised by the family or  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe clan.\u201d <\/em>Kiss deals further with the prostitutes\u2019 origin. She cites the  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBernese sociologists Sachsa Finger, who assumes that most Hungarian sex workers  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tin Switzerland are from Roma settlements in Ny\u00edregyh\u00e1za, \u00d3zd and pecs. That  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthere are also Magyar prostitutes is not stressed enough. It is mainly poverty,  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tno or lacking educational qualifications, unemployment and suppressing role  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmodels, that lead women into prostitution. That this social ills cannot be  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\teasily eliminated with a prohibition of prostitution, Kiss is aware, even if she  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcan not stress often enough the dishonouring of women through sex work: <em style=\"font-family: Arial;\">\u201cAlice Schwarzer, you&#8217;re right. Let\u2019s  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tprohibit prostitution. These women don\u2019t lead a life, in a few months they age  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tby years. [&#8230;] But her protest pales in comparison to the Eastern European  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treality. [&#8230;] Should one make it impossible for the mothers to gain a livelihood  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfor her hungry family? On the other hand, why does no one talk about the social  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpolicy in these countries? Why does no go into the villages and settlements in  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe tent cities, where women\u2019s rights are worth nothing ? [&#8230;] Who will feed  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmy children?, asks the prostitute who arrives in Zurich by train. Where will I  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twork when prostitution is banned? But to these questions, the latest turn in  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe discourse about free sexuality has no answer.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kiss, No\u00ebmi (2014) Bereit zur Verrichtung.
