France has warned of a ‘heightened risk’ of short-term home rentals being used for sex work during the Games – Copyright AFP Valerie MACON<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n

Airbnb on Friday agreed with French authorities to step up the fight against rentals on its platform being used for sex work during the Paris Olympics this summer and beyond.<\/p>\n

The home rental platform signed a convention with MIPROF, a government organisation tasked with protecting women from violence, and fighting human trafficking, the French body said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough such incidents are rare compared to the number of reservations, Airbnb commits, through this long-term collaboration, to supporting efforts made by the industry and the authorities to put an end to exploitation and human trafficking,\u201d the platform said in a statement sent to AFP, saying it would pay close attention to the possible use of rented homes for sex work.<\/p>\n

Among efforts to raise awareness among renters, Airbnb and MIPROF said they had compiled a \u201cguide for the responsible traveller\u201d to help them recognise signs of exploitation or human trafficking going on in the building or neighbourhood where they are staying.<\/p>\n

MIPROF said it would dispatch teams to assist Airbnb, which in turn promised to strengthen its cooperation with police and the judiciary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis convention with Airbnb is major, given its central position in the tourism industry,\u201d MIPROF\u2019s secretary-general, Roxana Maracineanu, was quoted as saying in the statement.<\/p>\n

Maracineanu, a former sports minister, had already warned at the end of last year that there was a \u201cheightened risk\u201d of human trafficking during the Olympics, and that the government needed to send a \u201cclear and strong message\u201d to traffickers.<\/p>\n

Hotels were already vigilant concerning prostitution on their premises, she told AFP in December. She said the worry was \u201cprostitution in homes, inside apartments\u201d.<\/p>\n

Police in several countries have identified a preference by sex workers and pimps for short-term rentals, including on Airbnb, because they offer more discretion than hotels.<\/p>\n

Although prostitution remains legal in France, the purchase of sexual services was criminalised in 2016, allowing for the prosecution of clients. Pimping and brothels have been illegal for decades. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
