Chile
The Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, along with other Chilean NGOs, strongly
denounced the exclusion of problems affecting female children and women, such as sexual
exploitation and violence, from the Fourth Meeting of the Latin American Human Rights
Inter-Parliamentarian Commission, which met in Chile in May 1996. These demonstrations
constitute an important political-ideological achievement since members of the Parliaments
in the different countries of the region make up the commission, and are the same people
in charge of legislating. Therefore, it is so important to stress upon them the need to use
the tools, which guarantee women and female children their Human Rights.
In Chile, as well as in other countries, some groups and individuals acknowledge and try to
justify prostitution as work. The painful years people suffered under General Pinochet’s
dictatorship have not helped for a better understanding of the meaning of the human rights
violation of citizens within a political and civil rights context. This situation has demanded a
public debate on the concept of work that gives human dignity. What is often unmasked is
the fact that all political expressions devoid of a gender perspective are patriarchy’s tools
to perpetuate discrimination against women.
