Regulation of prostitution in the EU: its cross-border implications and impact on gender equality and women’s rights
The dossier concerns the regulation of prostitution in the EU, its cross-border implications and impact on gender equality and women's rights. Amendments mainly add references to instruments and reports including the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the Istanbul Convention, CEDAW, the Anti-Trafficking Directive, UN and Council of Europe bodies, and sex workers' rights organisations, and frame prostitution, sexual exploitation and trafficking as gender-specific phenomena affecting mostly women and girls.

Plenary votes
1 roll-call votesIn plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
