Trabajo sexual con derecho

The passage, now almost twenty years ago, of the first genuinely decriminalizing prostitution legislation in New Zealand was a landmark event in the fight for the rights of sex workers around the world and an inescapable turning point for feminist debates about sex work. Today it is surely the fact that makes the difference and is capable of grounding certain discussions in a concrete reality. Based on the voice of sex workers and their experiences in a legal space that does not penalize or discriminate against the profession, Sex work with rights does not limit itself to describing a specific reality, but rather manages to provide a new and deeper vision of the question. Aspects such as the different forms of stigma, the double or triple discrimination of trans or migrant workers, the subjectivity of clients, the limits of legality and the liberal notion of rights, and the keys to the self-organization of sex workers appear here in another light. Through a wide and complete critical apparatus, this book not only exposes in detail the decriminalizing alternative in terms of the legal framework, but also raises the confrontation of the persistent patriarchal and repressive frameworks from the incidence on rights and the action in the first person of the sex workers. Faced with the offensives that seek to maintain or expel them to a regime of social and legal apartheid under the pretext of their salvation, this work is committed to strengthening the legitimacy, rights and organizational capacity of sex workers as the only way truly emancipatory.
