Atheists in Kenya (AIK) has asked Members of Nairobi County Assembly to reverse a law they passed banning commercial sex work in the city.
In a statement to the press on Sunday, the non-believers grouped termed the law as retrogressive, adding that it violates the rights of the twilight girls.
“We are asking the Nairobi County Assembly to repeal this law within 14 days, or face unspecified action aimed at protecting the rights of prostitutes in Nairobi,” Harrison Mumia, the association’s president said in the statement.
He added: “Nobody’s human or civil rights should be violated on the basis of their trade, occupation, work, calling or profession.”
Mumia further said that the practice is here to stay and urged for creation of a legal commercial sex work industry instead of trying to abolish it.
“Sex work is not going to disappear anytime soon; so instead of banning prostitution, we should work towards making it a fully legal industry. We believe that this is what most sex workers want as well,” the statement further read.
“An adult who chooses to engage in sexual activity, whether for recreation, procreation or in exchange for something of value, makes a private, individual choice that should not be subject to criminal sanctions.”
AIK also argues that the legislation unfairly discriminates. The association, however recommends the introduction of taxes on commercial sex work to boost the revenue of the county government.
“It is our firm position, therefore, that instead of banning prostitution, Nairobi County Assembly should pass enabling legislation to facilitate the smooth running of brothels so as to enable the government to exercise more control over the sex industry,” AIK reiterated.
Atheists’ Job is to Destroy…
Atheists’ Job is to Destroy the MIRAL Fiber of the Community; the Society. So FYI Mr. Atheist: Prostitution is a Civil WRONG! Whom are you Trying to Deceive? And before you Even Go There: Homosexuality is another VERY Civil WRONG. Even ANIMALS (if they were to Talk or Write) will tell you that.
People has sex for different…
People has sex for different, sometimes overlapping, reasons which include procreation, recreation and material gain. The greater parental investment by females in most mammalian species provides evolutionary reason that males have a different sex drive than females with most males desiring to copulate more often and with more partners than females. This explains why men arw willing to pay for sex via quick cash (prostitution) or long term financial debt (marriage) or big lies (dating). If all attractive women boinked in demand prostitution would cease immediately! When sexbots become cheap and indistinguishable from organic females most males will stop cease sexual interaction with organic women. Of course radical feminists and right wing religious people will react violently but they will be unable to stop the technological progress.
Mr wayne, Iam sure you know…
Mr wayne, Iam sure you know that most men dont go to prostitutes. Even if we take your argument that men want to have sex more than women, still society has”invented” ways to go about that,and prostitution is not one of them.However most importantly, is that most men, use their brain.They control their sex drive,or channel it in the socially acceptable way.
And finally can you tell me why tribes in the amazon walk around naked,and you dont see the men going wild after their females? Are they not humans?Put sex in perspective and you will not act like an animal.
