"The discussion is not easy because Cali is diverse and converge on this issue many factors such as social, ethical, legal ... but the important thing is that this time opened the possibility of meeting and everyone expressed their point of view, "Miller noted Orozco.
During the discussion group was attended by representatives of the Municipal Government of the Personality, inhabitants of the areas impacted by street prostitution in the district 2 and representatives of the LGBTI community.
Valentina Riascos, director of Saint Mary Foundation, which welcomes people who engage in prostitution and hopes to help them out of this way of life, on the proposal states that "We refuse it, as this would help promote promiscuity and would violate the right of free space planning, whereby I have the right to walk in any territory of Colombia, in addition, this would make us more vulnerable and discriminated against. "
Regarding this point of view, David Millan Orozco said: "I believe that there is no discrimination. What has demonstrated here the involvement of different organizations, is that this society has evolved in respect to sexual diversity. The perspective of respect for human rights and sexual identity is something that we have won enough space is something that is guiding the debate. "
He stated POT Deputy Director "there are some new elements that appear in relation to respect for public space, environmental impacts, the hygiene and sanitary conditions in which they should exercise this activity, and should be guided by the TEP and other criteria that make, as others in the city, occupy their rightful space. "

"It should be an area where concur respect for public order, health, peace, the rights of children, youth, children, family privacy. Definitely not to be public space for prostitution and the administration is not tolerated. "
"This activity is not illegal in Colombia, but can not be exercised indiscriminately in the city. It is necessary to establish standards for a city of the future effectively, organized, developed in progress, have a tolerance zone, a term already accepted by the Constitutional Court, where people can effectively carry out their activities can go to find their clients, but within a legal framework, "said Garcia.
Meanwhile, Dora Navarro, president of the Granada neighborhood JAC said: "Throughout the world there is a sector, an area where they can exercise their profession freely, without affecting all residents of all city. They will earn more money because they have a specific location. It is logical there is an area of \u200b\u200bjoy, laughter or the rumba. It is time that Cali has that area because my area goes as far as to not disturb the others. "
