Verlagsinfo: In seinem aufwändigen Bildband im 6-Farbdruck porträtiert Tim Oehler 30 Sexarbeiter:innen. "Urteile nicht über ein Leben, dass Du nicht selbst gelebt hast." Das steht in großen Lettern auf einer der Einleitungsseiten und gibt als Grundmotiv die Richtung vor: Tim Oehler zeigt die Protagonisten:innen in ehrlichen, niemals voyeuristischenAufnahmen. Die tabuisierte Sexarbeit bekommt ein Gesicht. Respektvoll und offen. Jede/r Akteur:in wird im typischen Arbeitsumfeld gezeigt, aber auch Einblicke in das Privatleben sind zu sehen. Da wird gekocht und eingekauft, ein Kinderfahrrad repariert oder mit dem Hund spaziert. Das ganz normale Leben eben. In sehr persönlichen Texten schildern die Teilnehmer:innen ihre Sicht auf die Sexarbeit und ihr jeweiliges Selbstverständnis in dieser diversen Branche. Sie wünschen sich, dass ihre Perspektive dazu beiträgt, den stigmatisierenden Umgang mit der Sexarbeit zu überwinden. Miteinander reden, nicht übereinander. Das ist der Weg zu mehr Wertschätzung.

A few years ago, France banned buying sex. In M.A. and Others v. France the European Court on Human Rights (ECtHR) now held that a motion of sex workers against that ban is admissible. The Court did not rule on the merits at this stage – this will follow in a subsequent judgement. Nevertheless, this admissibility decision marks a milestone as, for the first time, the Court will examine whether a sex purchase ban violates the rights of sex workers as guaranteed in the European Convention on Human Rights. The ruling appears eagerly anticipated due to its legal precedent within Member States that have passed similar legislation.

The existing legal framework in Russia makes sex work and related activities punishable offenses, leaving sex workers stigmatized, vulnerable to violence, and disproportionally affected by HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. In 2013, the Ministry of Justice, supported by the courts, refused registration and official recognition to the first all-Russia association of sex workers, referring to the fact that sex work is under administrative and criminal punitive bans and therefore the right of association for sex workers is unjustified. In light of international human rights standards, in particular the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, we examine in this paper whether the overall punitive legal ban on sex work in Russia is discriminatory. The government's positive obligations concerning discrimination against sex workers whose activities are consensual and between adults, and whose working conditions leave them among society's most vulnerable, should outweigh their punitive laws and policies around sex work. The scope of legal criminalization is narrow: it should apply only in exceptional cases where it is clearly justified. Adapted from the source document.

Incorporating the voices and insights of street sex workers through personal interviews, this monograph argues that the material conditions of many street workers - the physical environments they live in and their effects on the workers' bodies, identities, and spirits - are represented, reproduced, and entrenched in the language surrounding their work. As an ethnographic case study of a local system that can be extrapolated to other subcultures and the construction of identities, this book disrupts some of the more prevalent academic and lay understandings about street prostitution by providi

Beyond lust, create companionship with your sex workers!Many more men are willing to buy sex than to admit the fact. Joseph Itiel is not only willing to admit it--he has the courage and style to create "virtual" relationships with hustlers. These ongoing professional relationships are a step beyond cold, anonymous sex for sale. Though the economic basis remains the same--an open exchange of cash for sex--the association is also honest, affectionate, and sexually fulfilling. He explains how you can do the same in Sex Workers as Virtual Boyfriends, a companion volume to his best-selling A Consum

Ming and Beata share neither the same language nor cultural background, yet their stories are remarkably similar. Both are single mothers in their thirties and both came to Britain in search of a new life: Ming from China and Beata from Poland. Neither imagined that their journey would end in a British brothel. In this chilling exposé, investigative journalist Hsiao- Hung Pai works undercover as a housekeeper in a brothel and unveils the terrible reality of the British sex trade. Many workers are trapped, some are controlled ? the lack of freedoms this invisible strait of society suffers

The purpose of this study is to look at the regulation of the actions of workers and service users of commercial sex workers in the current criminal law and to see the regulation of the actions of workers and service users of commercial sex workers in the future. This research is a normative research or doctrinal legal research using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of this study are that there is no clear regulation in Indonesian criminal law regarding criminal liability for the actions of workers and service users of commercial sex workers other than those contained in certain regional regulations, and in the future with the criminalization of acts of sexual intercourse outside the marriage bond as an act The criminal complaint in the Draft Criminal Code (RKUHP) must be changed into a form of ordinary crime so as not to limit the movement of law enforcement officers in carrying out law enforcement related to the actions of workers and users of commercial sex workers.

A minor movement of strippers and sex workers are unionising as the Sex Workers' Union (SWU) branch of the Bakers Food & Allied Workers Union. SWU have produced a counter hegemonic perspective on law and society in the process of class struggle. This perspective demystifies the view that strippers and sex workers are free workers and enterprising subjects, or unfree vulnerable victims in need of state protection. SWU's counter hegemonic perspective inverts this common-sense assumption and posits that strippers and sex workers are unfree workers and free sexual subjects. This demystification is evident in SWU's 'feminist law work', which demands decommodification and decriminalisation for all sex workers by working within, and against, official law. In conclusion, I argue that there are at least three reasons why other feminists should support SWU by ceasing eradication of sex work via criminalisation and closure campaigns. This would open space for a politics of solidarity between sex workers and other feminists, centred on the conditions within which sex workers' labour is commodified.
