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 document outlines the history and continued goals of the International Abolitionist Federation, founded in 1875 under the direction of Josephine Butler. The organization’s primary objective was the abolition of state-regulated prostitution and the revision of any law which made prostitution a “public institution.” In France, for example, which since 1802 was considered a “regulationist” country, the medical surveillance of prostitutes and the establishment of state-administered brothels was implemented to best protect the public from this “necessary evil.” Josephine Butler, though, was among the first to raise criticism of the system of regulation, highlighting faults in concerns about hygiene and the protection of social morality. The task of the organization, more than fifty years after its inception, remains the same: to ensure that no new measures supporting regulation are passed in countries which have already abolished it; to ensure the enforcement of abolitionist laws with vigilance; and to promote abolition in countries which have not yet adopted such principles.

La traite des femmes et des enfants et la maison de tolérance
written by Johannes D. Reelfs, fl. 1933, International Abolitionist Federation (Lausanne, Vaud Canton: Payot & Co., 1933), 93 page(s)
This publication argues that sex trafficking, or the trade in women and children, depends on nations which support the regulated system of brothels since, without the legalized brothels, there would be fewer places where young girls and women might be forced into prostitution.

This publication argues that sex trafficking, or the trade in women and children, depends on nations which support the regulated system of brothels since, without the legalized brothels, there would be fewer places where young girls and women might be forced into prostitution. Abolitionism, according to the International Abolitionist Federation, appears as the only logical solution to international sex trafficking. In nine chapters, the document provides the history of abolitionism, including analyses of the campaign’s beginnings in the United Kingdom, its increasing international profile, various conferences held in the early-twentieth century, and its later relationship with the League of Nations.
