The Prostitution Prevention Law of Japan has two principlesthe abolition of licensed prostitution and the promotion of protective care services for women. However, problems concerning the intention behind the law are apparent. Namely, the law emphasises the maintenance of sexual and social order rather than the individual right of women. It is my view that the law should stress that the prostitution is harmful to human dignity. I define the Right to Sexual Freedom as the right to decide and choose sexual behavior in order to develop individual sexuality and the right to make decisions to protect individual sexual dignity. The right to pursue healthy physical and mental sexual activity based on mutual equality is another necessary condition. Fundamentally, the Right to Sexual Freedom denies all forms of sexual violence. I suggest that the freedom to buy and sell sex should also be denied. Protective care services for women deal with the structural infringements of women's rights to sexual Freedom and include welfare policies which publicly support women's social independence and aim at restoring their rights. The Right to Sexual Freedom should be a Social Right. This view will provide a theoretical basis for making of protective care services for women.
