今天看到一則新聞 [泰國5月大選後擬推動性工作合法化],分享一下長期在泰國看到的觀點
新聞內容來自[ 中央社]國際版:
2023. 3月新聞:泰國研擬讓性工作合法化,政府部門正在草擬法案,設立從事性工作者的最低年齡限制以及業者必須遵守的法規內容,政府也會成立保護中心,確保性工作者不會遭到剝削。 曼谷郵報(Bangkok Post)報導,社會發展和人類安全部正在草擬一份法案,要讓性工作合法化,等草案研擬完成後,將送交5月國會大選之後成立的新內閣審議。
法政大學(Thammasat University)法學院講師納隆(Narong Jaihan)透露草案內容包括設定性工作者以及使用性服務者的最低年齡為18歲,業者必須向自己所在地的政府登記並申請執照,執照一次發3年,如果沒有違規可以繼續申請。 如果有任何業者違背法規,將面臨法律責任,如果有低於18歲的人牽涉到性交易,他們的父母也會面臨法律責任。
性工作者必須是自願從事性工作,如果有人強迫他人從事性工作,將被視為人口販運;性工作者將必須定期進行健康檢查,也可以加入社會安全計畫,此外,政府將成立保護中心,避免性工作者遭到剝削。 婦女事務和家庭發展局局長菁塔娜(Jintana Chanbamrung)表示,草案內容徵詢了警方和性工作者的意見,重點在於保護性工作者,而不是把他們視為罪犯。
我的泰國在地觀察:
泰國社會層面
在泰國可以感受到濃濃的佛教文化,以為泰國人會比較保守,但觀察起來周遭的泰國當地同事/朋友在關係上,跟各國差不多,甚至還比較開放,曖昧偷吃等時有所聞;這中間有錯綜複雜的因素,包含泰國佛教的教義與台灣這邊的教義略有不同,經濟/歷史因素讓他們認為有錢照顧好自己才更重要等,都有關係.
關於泰國性產業
色情產業部分呢?事實上,過去泰國的性產業屬非法活動(是不是跟我們的認知的泰國很不同XD,性產業泛濫成這樣竟然是非法的...),泰國在1960 年通過反性交易法與 1966 年性交易防治法建構出性產業的管理架構,但由於泰國相關單位執法不力與貪污腐化,這兩條法令執行大打折扣。更多泰國性產業研究 click here
泰國政府執法方面
泰國色情產業很蓬勃舉世皆知,每年為泰國帶來了大量的收入。 這次泰國政府決定讓性工作合法化,代表性產業會受到更多的監管和管理,通過後不管是社會安全或健康安全都是一大進步(前提是泰國警察們要能真正執行監管)。
