The media<br />
The campaign was a hit in the media. Over its course,<br />
the <strong>Deutscher</strong> <strong>Frauenrat</strong> compiled 260 media<br />
queries and reports, approximately 40 percent of<br />
which were from abroad (over 20 countries). The<br />
reports ranged from sober to sensation-seeking, and<br />
from well-researched to thoroughly unqualified.<br />
Of 184 reports analysed from the print and online<br />
media, the tone of 150 ranged from neutral to<br />
positive, and only 34 were negative or dismissive<br />
regarding the campaign and its concern.<br />
Many reports, however, either equated or at least<br />
did not distinguish between human trafficking/<br />
forced prostitution and legal/voluntary prostitution.<br />
Media from the USA, France and Sweden, especially,<br />
concentrated on the legal status of prostitution<br />
in Germany. Their persistent questions made it<br />
necessary to repeatedly explain the differences<br />
between prostitution and forced prostitution, the<br />
legal foundations and intended effects of German<br />
legislation on prostitution, and the reasons why<br />
this legislation represents an important first<br />
step in improving protection for prostitutes.
