The Minister for Equality, Ana Redondo, has announced on Wednesday that the Ministry she heads is preparing "apackage of measures to ban prostitution "and has committed to bring the bill to the Council of Ministers at the beginning of the next school year in September.
The Minister has visited the Ministry of Equality during the presentation of the campaign for the 20th anniversary of the Marriage for Equality Act, in which journalists asked him about conversations between former Minister José Luis Ábalos and former adviser Koldo García Izagirre about the exchange of women.
Faced with this, Redondo has said that "it is time to react, to react in every way and with the utmost firmness." "The situation we are experiencing and the audio that we are experiencing offends women, dehumanizes us and makes us objects of consumption," he said.
In his view, the measures being prepared will help to "eradicate prostitution and machismo." He has ensured that the law to abolish prostitution "will be a law that transforms Spanish society to eradicate these malicious and macho attitudes and comments. "
He also recalled that the PSOE has twice tried to ban prostitution, one during the last parliamentary term and the other last year with a bill. "We're going to start again because I think the need has to be made a virtue. I really think it's time," he said.
