Venice (Italy) - About QUANTOproject :
The awareness that women and minors are today subjected to exploitation and slavery is particularly dramatic if compared to the social progress so far achieved in the human rights field.
Acknowledging such conditions has resulted, in the last fifteen years, in reflections, debates, political and social interventions, especially as a consequence of the increased phenomenon: "the sex market." Women are more and more the object of exchanges in the human trafficking, for the purpose of sexual exploitation by criminal organizations.
Lack of freedom is not intrinsic with prostitution, but is a function of abuse, poverty, bad working conditions, inexperience, and/or desperation. It is therfore indispensable to consider first of all, women and minors as human beings, and as such, individuals with rights (aside from their conditions, legal status, and more or less coerced prostitution activity).
QUANTOproject wants to arouse new reflections to bring forward a topic that tends more and more to hide and become inconspicuous.
