This document outlines the origins of the International Abolitionist Federation, created in 1875, and details its stance on the abolition of legally-sanctioned prostitution throughout the globe. In particular, this piece targets “Morals Brigades,” which, in certain countries like France, were charged with the task of ensuring decency and hygiene in state-regulated brothels. The Federation argues instead that Morals Brigades allowed the degradation of women, the perversion of social mores, and social-hygienic contamination rather than the stated goal of enforcing a “necessary evil.”

These proceedings begin with the constitution of the International Abolitionist Federation and then the program of the September 1889 meeting held in Geneva. The first pages of the proceedings note the members on the federation’s executive committee as well as national delegates from various countries and provide a copy of the Federation’s constitution and the conference program. The proceedings include the full texts of papers presented at a series of topical sessions. The first section focused on hygiene and had lectures by Professor J.L. Chanfleury van Ijsselstein of The Hague, Professor Stoukowenkoff from Kiev and Mr. Ochsenbein. The next section focused on social morality and offered papers by Mlle. de Hogendorp, Mme. E. Audeoud-Monod, and Professor Charles Secretan. After a business meeting, Mr. Laurent Karcher addressed the group with a greeting from the Geneva branch of the federation. Emile de Laveleye provided an overview of progress in recent years of various national affiliates of the federation. The first and second evenings of the conference included separate public meetings for men and women. On the first night, Dr. Forel, the president of the Federation’s Hygiene Section, gave an address for his male audience. Mrs. Audeoud-Monod presided over the women’s meeting. The second day of the conference began with a meeting of the Federation’s Legislation section, which was directed by Mr. Bogelot, the president of the Section. Professor Félix Bovet provided an address entitled “The Limits of State Intervention in Matters of Prostitution.” This session was followed by a meeting of the Social Morals section, which included a speech by Mr. Edouard Krüger, who argued against the philosophy that prostitution is a “necessary evil.” He was followed by Mrs. Klerck, who spoke on the Abolitionist Movement in Holland, and Mr. H. Roehrich, who read a contribution by Mr. Jules Pagny called “Registered Prostitution and Clandestine Prostitution from a Social and Moral Point of View.” A Public Meeting followed, presided by Mr. Emile de Laveleye, which included a paper given by Professor Secrétan on the “Rights of Women and Children.” Other discussions were led by Mr. F. Thiess, Mr. John Dynock, Mr. Van Swindern, and Mr. Louis Roehrich. The Federation again broke into meetings for men and women, and it was noted that the women’s meeting included a large contingent of working-class women and their needs were the focus of the evening’s conversation. The third day of the conference began with a meeting with the Hygiene Section, during which Mr. Westerberg of Stockholm, Sweden, gave two addresses: “Statistical Sources and their Comparative Value in the Study of Regulation” and “ The Results of Regulation in Stockholm.” These papers were followed by Professor Celso Pellizzari’s discussion of the “Uneffectiveness of the ‘Visite Obligatoire’ [mandatory hygiene inspection].” The morning meeting was followed by the Legislation Section’s discussion of the White Slave Trade. The fourth day of the conference began with a meeting of the Hygiene Section, including a presentation by Professor James Stuart of Cambridge University, speaking on “The Contagious Disease Acts in England and India.” A meeting of the Legislation Section followed, with Mr. Ochsenbein presenting on “The Project of Revising the Penal Code of Neuchâtel. Following an afternoon business meeting among Federation members, the closing session was opened to the public which included closing statements by Federation members of various nationalities. The document concludes with a list of Resolutions adopted by the Geneva Congress of 1889.

Jean Lasserre, a Catholic priest, recounts the successful campaign beginning in December 1944 to close the houses of prostitution in Maubeuge, in the north of France. It is a detailed account, emphasizing the role of public and religious authorities under broad pressure from the public in dismantling the legal regime that regulated and thus legalized prostitution. The campaign combined public educational efforts and diplomatic lobbying. The account emphasizes the support that doctors provided the system of regulation and offers a public health argument against its continuation. The local successes culminated in the passage in April 1946 of national legislation that outlawed prostitution.

This document, written by the International Abolitionist Federation, outlines common definitions of the pimping and procuring of prostitutes as well as working through the definitions of terms like “pimp,” “prostitute,” and “brothel.” After this general introduction, the document turns to case studies of law and the penal code on prostitution in Germany, Belgium, France, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Great Britain, and the United States. In each example, the authors use various arrest reports to make the case for the disjuncture between civil law and penal law in cases of prostitution. The examination ends with a broad conclusion condemning the tolerance of prostitution and advocating stricter enforcement of laws regulating commercial sex.

This paper was presented to the Second Conference of the Abolitionist Committee in Argentina and Uruguay, which was part of the International Abolitionist Federation (Federación Abolicionista Internacional (IAF)). Included in this document is the program from that conference and a list of the executive members of the Committee. In the paper, Paulina Luisi stressed the new duties of women, as parents and teachers, to instruct children in a truthful and straightforward manner. Luisi claimed that children were not currently being taught the appropriate rules that should govern relationships between the sexes. This document illustrates some of the discussion surrounding sex education.

The International Abolitionist Federation met in Rome in October 1950 to discuss prostitution and related phenomena during its annual meeting. The first article presented at the conference explains the history of abolitionism and regulation and then provides an overview of how prostitution has been theorized throughout the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, including in such disciplines as criminal anthropology, psychoanalysis, Marxism, and libertarian communism. The next article, entitled “By Which Legal Means Can We Fight Prostitution?” argues that those in favor of regulated prostitution miss the psychological, moral, social, and economic complexities of the trade, which must be adequately explained in order to make the case for abolitionism. An article on Italy’s recent “legal solution” follows, as do various articles examining sexuality, sanitation, mental health, and the rehabilitation of former prostitutes.

This publication offers numerous articles that developed from the International Abolitionist Federation-sponsored Frankfurt Congress in October 1956. The first article is a comparative examination of abolitionism in many countries of the world, ending with a study of twentieth-century events, such as women’s liberation and sexual liberation, which have changed the occupation. Prostitution in West and East Germany is discussed in the next articles, which give way to the feature article, entitled “Can We Prevent Prostitution?” Arguing that prostitution cannot be eradicated, only lessened, the article examines the following topics: pimping and procuring, women’s reasons for prostituting themselves, the client, public morality, and education and legislation related to prostitution. The document ends with an article on rehabilitating former prostitutes and a list of the resolutions adopted by the Frankfurt Congress.

This publication offers numerous articles that developed from the International Abolitionist Federation-sponsored Cambridge Congress in late-September 1960. By 1960, the Federation reported that twenty countries worldwide still supported legal prostitution. The majority of the text is an examination of laws on or against prostitution in: the Belgian Congo, Greece, India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Italy, France, Australia, Korea, and Cambodia. Other articles examine male clients’ “perversities” in a psychoanalytic reading of why prostitution continues to exist as well as the phenomenon of “White Slavery,” or transnational sex trafficking. The report ends with a synthesis of the major points discussed in each separate article.
