The
UN is at it again, being at the forefront
of anti-life, anti-family homosexualist
advances. Now it wants prostitution (oh,
excuse me, "sex work") fully
legalized. The intent is to give prostitutes
their rights and to keep them safe from
HIV/AIDS.
From
safe sex and safe abortion now to safe
commercial sex. Safe? Indiscriminate
sex has resulted in greatly increased
STDs. Abortion has never been safe,
certainly not for the aborted child,
but even for the woman, who contends
with physical, emotional, psychological
and spiritual infirmities. Condoms fail
in preventing pregnancies, and with
the HIV virus much smaller than the
sperm, have also failed in preventing
HIV/AIDS. The facts and realities throughout
the world through all these years have
proven all these. And still the UN promotes
prostitution and "safe commercial
sex" through condoms.
The
UN is failing miserably as an agency
that promotes peace and goodwill in
the world. The UN has become a purveyor
of sex, prostitution, drug use and homosexuality.
Is it any wonder that the UN is also
failing in its mission and vision, coming
from Isaiah 2:4, to beat swords into
plowshares? Instead of nations not raising
the sword against another, the world
is once again experiencing many wars,
including civil wars, and the threat
of global conflict continues.

UN
Promotes Prostitution as Harm Reduction
By Terrence McKeegan, J.D.
NEW
YORK, February 24 (C-FAM) A
United Nations agency is actively funding
the full legalization of prostitution
with the support of UN Secretary General
Ban Ki-moon. The agency even
partnered with a prostitution advocacy
group to co-chair a UN advisory group
on HIV and "sex work."
UNAIDS,
a joint program of the major UN agencies,
is promoting “sex work”
programs under the guise of harm reduction
in combating HIV/AIDS and preventing
discrimination against vulnerable groups.
One
UNAIDS-funded organization is the Network
of Sex Work Projects (NSWP).
The NSWP is the featured website on
the controversial Interagency Youth
Working Group, a US-funded project.
The NSWP is described as an “alliance
of sex workers and organizations that
provide services to sex workers and
promote sex workers' health and human
rights.”
On
their website, NSWP actually takes credit
for the term 'sex
worker' replacing 'prostitute'.
“More than mere political correctness,”
says NSWP, “this shift in language
had the important effect of moving global
understandings of sex work toward a
labour framework which signposts solutions
to many of the problems faced by sex
workers. It also questions the stigma
of sex work and represents greater recognition
of sex workers as rights bearers, with
the capacity to make a difference.”
One
of NSWP’s major publications is
“Making
Sex Work Safe.” The
introduction of the publication states,
“In general, sex workers have
high numbers of sexual partners. But
this in itself does not necessarily
increase the chances of becoming infected
with HIV. If condoms
are used consistently and correctly,
sex workers will not contract HIV –
no matter how many clients they have.
This means that sex work can be safe.”
Section
5 of “Making Sex Work Safe”
is called “Safe
Commercial Sex”, and features
a graphic photo of an educator demonstrating
the use of condoms in oral sex. The
section offers the advice that “sex
workers need a range of skills that
enable them to maximize their income
and reduce exposure to HIV.”
In
May 2009, the NSWP was appointed to
co-chair the UNAIDS Advisory Group on
HIV and Sex Work with UNAIDS. Earlier
that year, NSWP was instrumental in
the issuance of a revised UNAIDS Guidance
Note on HIV and Sex Work.
The
introduction to the guidance note highlights
a speech UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon
made to the International AIDS conference
in 2008 in which he
called for the decriminalization of
sex work, drug use, and homosexual sex.
“…In most countries, discrimination
remains legal against women, men who
have sex with men, sex workers, drug
users, and ethnic minorities,”
said Ban. “This must change. …In
countries without laws to protect sex
workers, drug users, and men who have
sex with men, only a fraction of the
population has access to prevention.”
A
recent UNAIDS story
features a project in Guyana, also funded
by the US and the International Labor
Organization (ILO), that sponsors sex
workers to promote good HIV prevention
practices. The story states that the
“ILO intends to replicate this
partnership with other sex workers’
organizations to reach different groups
of workers across the country.”

to me to live is Christ, and to die
is gain." (Phil 1:21)
