Prostitution et maladies vénériennes

About this book

This report was generated from statistics compiled by the League of Nation's Commission on the Unity of Morality and Against Trafficking in Women, which, in 1926, sent a lengthy survey on prostitution and venereal disease to doctors in approximately 25 countries worldwide. Survey questions inquired into how prostitution functioned in each nation, what kinds of health and sanitary laws were in place, progress made against prostitution since 1921, and the status of sex education. The guiding premise of the report links feminism, women's suffrage, and the campaign against regulated prostitution together to form a broader statement on gender equality; however, most of the report provides detailed responses to the survey from each country in a comparative framework.
