36 | 2014 | ||||||||||||||||||
37 | Some feminists argue that sex work reduces the female body to an object of sexual pleasure to be exploited in the marketplace by any male – an argument consistent with patriarchal notions of protection, reverence and control, the construction of women as a devi [goddess], the dasi [slave] or the veshya [sex worker]. This article addresses our work with collectivising rural women not in sex work (Vidrohi Mahila Manch [Platform for Rebellious Women] (VMM in Sangli) and rural women in sex work (Veshya Anyay Mukti Parishad (VAMP)) from South Maharashtra and North Karnataka, India. It examines the apparent control adult women in sex work have over their own bodies and lives. Although it is true that unless acting collectively, they are less successful in confronting organised criminal gangs and the brutal side of law enforcers, most of them boldly confront sexual relations with individual male clients and men from their own community. | ||||||||||||||||||

44 | The report shows clearly that the stigma and discrimination underpinning repressive drug policy is part of a wider project of social spoiling or stigmatization directed at the marginalization and demonization of other communities including LGBTQ people and sex workers. The report concludes by calling for sex workers, people who use drugs, and other similarly marginalized communities to engage in “parallel battles for autonomy and empowerment in the face of crosscutting social exclusion, control, stigmatisation, and an undermining of agency and self-determination, battles against the same modes of silencing, pathologisation, and disempowerment. | ||||||||||||||||||

114 | Sex workers throughout the world share a uniquely maligned mystique that simultaneously positions them as sexually desirable and socially stigmatized. In order to better understand how these processes function cross-culturally, ‘Demystifying Sex Work and Sex Workers’ combines thirteen articles by scholar-activists and sex workers in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Mexico, Thailand, Uganda and the U.S. that focus on the everyday lives of sex workers, broadly defined as those who exchange sexual services for something of value. Papers in this issue locate sex workers as actors and agents despite pervasive social messages and discourses to the contrary. | ||||||||||||||||||

128 | 3 different “logics” that impact various communities of color differently and yet together uphold the *white supremacy* in the United States. According to her, 3 pillars of white supremacy are: (1) the logic of *slavery*, which anchors capitalism by commodifying Black people as slaves, prison laborers, etc., and by extension commodifies all workers; (2) the logic of *genocide*, which anchors colonialism by vanishing indigenous people both in social reality and in imagination in order to claim the land and culture that do not belong to the white supremacy; and (3) the logic of *Orientalism*, which anchors war and anti-terror or anti-immigrant policies by treating Latinos, Asians, Arabs, and other people as foreign threat and invasion. | ||||||||||||||||||

140 | Ferris, Shawna, (Doctoral dissertation) | ||||||||||||||||||
141 | 2007 | ||||||||||||||||||
142 | Effects of transnational free market economics, urbanization, and growing concerns regarding home and homeland security on contemporary representations of and responses to street-involved sex work in Canada. Foregrounding the current legality of prostitution in Canada, as well as the growing number of serial kidnap and murder cases involving sex workers nationwide, the project brings together two broader cultural debates regarding the moral and cultural legitimacy of prostitution, and the growing socioeconomic “disposability” of the poor and other culturally marginalized populations in an emergent global order. The project thus explores how contemporary Canadian culture registers the changing role of the human/e and of the urban under global capitalism. Considering current responses to the disappearance of 68 women—many of whom were street sex workers—from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Chapter 1 argues that sex workers’ traditional synecdochic relationship with the modern metropolis has become, in contemporary contexts, dangerously fraught. The gradual disintegration of such synecdoche, I argue, signifies the ongoing dissolution of *socio-political ties between the nation-state and its citizenry*. Chapter 2 considers two imagistic tropes in sex work-related media reports, then analyzes urban anti-prostitution initiatives growing out of the Vancouver case and others. I argue that such tropes and actions further reify emerging discourses of street sex workers as cultural “waste.” Chapter 3 examines sex worker activists’ interventions in such mainstream narrations. I discuss the political initiatives promoted on the websites of three major activist organizations, and explore the ways that online activism simultaneously expands and limits the cultural influence of these groups. Noting the over-representation of *First Nations women* among the victims in the Vancouver case and others, Chapter 4 examines intersections between and resistance to Canada’s violent colonial history, racist public policies, and whore stigma in contemporary culture as they converge around Aboriginal women in Canada’s inner-city sex trade. | ||||||||||||||||||

146 | Deadly Inertia: A History of Constitutional Challenges to Canada’s Criminal Code Sections on Prostitution | ||||||||||||||||||
147 | Lowman, John | ||||||||||||||||||
148 | 2011 | ||||||||||||||||||
149 | This paper examines rhetoric surrounding prostitution law reform in Canada from 1970 to the present. During the 1950s and 1960s, there was very little media or political attention paid to prostitution. It was not until the mid 1970s that perceived problems with prostitution law began to surface, driven by concerns that the criminal code statute prohibiting street prostitution was not enforceable. In 1983 the Liberal government appointed the Special Committee on Pornography and Prostitution to consider options for law and policy reform. However, the Conservative government that received the report in 1985 rejected the sweeping law changes the Special Committee recommended, opting instead to rewrite the street prostitution offence. Since then the murder of somewhere between 200-300 street prostitutes has prompted renewed calls for law reform. The debate on law reform culminated in 2006 with a parliamentary review that saw all four federal political parties agreeing that Canada’s prostitution laws are “unacceptable,” but unable to agree about how to change them. The majority report held that *consenting adult prostitution* should be legal, while the minority report held that it should be prohibited. In 2007 the Standing Committee on the Status of Women recommended that Canada adopt the *Nordic model* of demand-side prohibition. As the deadlock continues, women in the street sex trade continue to be murdered. Faced with this deadly inertia, 2 groups of sex workers have challenged several Criminal Code sections relating to prostitution, arguing that they violate several of their Constitutional rights, including their right to “life, liberty and security of the person”. The paper concludes with an update on the progress of the Charter challenges now before the courts. | ||||||||||||||||||

I argue that “human trafficking” is better understood as a *contested concept* rather than as an objectively given problem. The meaning of trafficking is CONSTRUCTED rather than inherent, and inseparable from the political context through which it is produced. | ||||||||||||||||||

184 | Neo-maxist theory of women labour and capitalism. Expands on the work of Leopoldina Fortunati (The Arcane of Reproduction - Housework, Prostitution, Labor and Capital 1955). In it, she argues against Karl Marx's claim that primitive accumulation is a necessary precursor for capitalism. Instead, she posits that *primitive accumulation* is a fundamental characteristic of capitalism itself—that capitalism, in order to perpetuate itself, requires a constant infusion of *expropriated capital*. Historical struggle for the commons and the struggle for communalism. Instead of seeing capitalism as a liberatory defeat of feudalism, Federici interprets the ascent of capitalism as a reactionary move to subvert the rising tide of communalism and to retain the basic social contract. She situates the institutionalization of rape and prostitution, as well as the heretic and witch-hunt trials, burnings, and torture at the center of a *methodical subjugation of women and appropriation of their labor*. This is tied into *colonial expropriation* and provides a framework for understanding the work of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and other *proxy institutions* as engaging in a renewed cycle of primitive accumulation, by which everything held in common—from water, to seeds, to our genetic code—becomes *privatized* in what amounts to a new round of *enclosures*. | ||||||||||||||||||

195 | Swedish Abolitionism as Violence Against Women | ||||||||||||||||||
196 | Levy, Jay (PhD research, Uni Cambridge) | ||||||||||||||||||
197 | 2013 | ||||||||||||||||||
198 | Sweden’s claim to have ‘solved’ the apparent problem of prostitution, with the purchase of sex criminalised in 1999 (sexköpslagen), should be challenged and regarded with scepticism, given the failure of abolitionist laws to accomplish their stated aims, and given the substantial negative outcomes of legislation and discourse. Prostitution in Sweden has been (re)defined according to a *‘radical feminist’ discourse* as a form of gendered violence against women. These constructions have resulted in the *exclusion of sex workers*. *Harm reduction* initiatives are seen to endorse, encourage, and facilitate sex work, and are therefore seen to damage efforts to abolish prostitution. There is no convincing evidence that overall levels of prostitution have declined since 1999. Instead, some sex work has simply been displaced from public space by targeted policing and advances in telecommunications technologies. | ||||||||||||||||||

204 | 2010 | ||||||||||||||||||
205 | Ultimately, the battle over the purported link between legalised prostitution and sex trafficking is likely to persist. This battle will continue to be characterised by a dispute over the legitimacy of prostitution, perpetuating a belief that prostitution is distinct to other forms of labour, and that systems of legalised prostitution are fuelling trafficking in young women and girls. It seems absurd that while the demand for sexual services is maligned and cast as the primary factor fuelling the trafficking in women, the demand for cheap clothes or fruit is rarely viewed as the cause of trafficking in the garment and agricultural industries. Over time, this perspective may change to a point where it is the exploitation of labour, rather than the labour itself, which is condemned in all industries where trafficking occurs. In the short term, we should at least be allowed to expect that policy be informed by reliable evidence, not just ideology. | ||||||||||||||||||

212 | One recent finding about the prostitution market is the differences in the extent and nature of violence experienced between women who work on the street and those who work from indoor sex work venues. This paper brings together extensive qualitative fieldwork from two cities in the UK to unpack the intricacies in relation to violence and safety for indoor workers. Firstly, we document the types of violence women experience in indoor venues noting how the vulnerabilities surrounding work-based hazards are dependent on the environment in which sex is sold. Secondly, we highlight the protection strategies that indoor workers and management develop to maintain safety and order in the establishment. Thirdly, we use these empirical findings to suggest that violence should be a high priority on the policy agenda. Here we contend that the organizational and cultural conditions that seem to offer some protection from violence in indoor settings could be useful for informing the management of street sex work. Finally, drawing on the crime prevention literature, we argue that it is possible to go a considerable way to designing out vulnerability in sex work, but not only through physical and organizational change but building in *respect* for sex workers rights by developing policies that promote the employment/human rights and citizenship for sex workers. This argument is made in light of the Coordinated Prostitution Strategy. | ||||||||||||||||||

But turned out to be a neo-abolutionistic promotion for the Nordic "Model" and is more about the claim of victims rescued by Christian helper industry like abolitionist Trisha Baptie who want to eradicate prostitution. Therefore the attorney and the sex workers have been betrayed, there voices censored or silenced. | ||||||||||||||||||

Among these, our informants highlight (1) the legality of prostitution, the existence of a (2) well-structured commercial sexual market, (3) relatively low prices and a series of ideological visions regarding (4) “typical Brazilian women” which are based upon notions of race and gender. Basing our analysis on these men's testimonies, we dispute the hegemonic discourse of Brazilian policy-makers that a “sexualized” vision of Brazilian women, transmitted by the mass media and by EMBRATUR, has led to the propagation of sexual tourism in Rio de Janeiro. | ||||||||||||||||||

240 | Gendered insecurities of the neoliberal state in Latin America. Exploring the militarization of public security in Rio de Janeiro during 2003–08 around campaigns to stop the ‘trafficking’ of sex workers. Findings illuminate the intersection of 3 neoliberal governance logics: (1) a moralistic humanitarian-rescue agenda promoted by evangelical populists and police groups; (2) a juridical ‘law and rights’ logic promoted by justice-sector actors and human-rights NGOs; (3) a worker-empowerment logic articulated by the governing Workers’ Party (PT) in alliance with social-justice movements, police reformers, and prostitutes’ rights groups. Gender and race analyses map the antagonisms between these three logics of neoliberal governance, and how their incommensurabilities generate crisis in the arena of security policy. By exploring Brazil’s fraught efforts to attain the status of ‘human security superpower’ through these interventions, the article challenges the view that the reordering of security politics in the global south is inevitably linked to desecularization, disempowerment, and militarization. | ||||||||||||||||||

268 | A clear way that indirect aggression serves an individual’s goal is by reducing her same-sex rivals’ ability, or desire, to compete for mates. This is typically accomplished in a concealed way which diminishes the risk of a counterattack. … the benefits of using indirect aggression seem clear – fewer competitors and greater access to preferred mates, which in ancestral times would have been linked to differential reproduction rates, the driving force of evolution by sexual selection. | ||||||||||||||||||

282 | This article discusses exploratory research investigating the incidence and context of client-perpetrated sexual violence against male sex workers. 4 different methods (Web-based surveys, tick-box questionnaires, telephone, and face-to-face interviews) were employed in this study of 50 male escorts. The qualitative data were analyzed using an adapted form of *grounded theory*. It was found that client-perpetrated sexual violence within male sex work appears to be uncommon. However, when sexual violence did occur the cause was a disagreement over barebacking. Escorts’ explanations for the low level of sexual violence within this sector included (1) that gay men were non-confrontational, (2) their clients led clandestine lifestyles avoiding undue attention, and (3) comparatively, female sex workers were perceived to be more vulnerable resulting in the higher level of sexual violence within the female sex work industry. | ||||||||||||||||||

Legalization has failed to yield the type of advances for strippers envisioned by the regulation hypothesis. Because courts and employers treat work in the commercial sex industry as unworthy of protection, labor laws largely exclude stripping from those legal definitions of “employment” providing for labor organizing and wage, hour and anti-discrimination protections. Moreover, local governments deploy regulatory law to eliminate or significantly constrict the presence of strip clubs in their communities. These legal measures, such as zoning ordinances and nudity bans, have only tightened the labor market for strippers, thereby increasing strippers’ vulnerability to employer abuses. | Law | English | Global | ||||||||||||

The market is clearly highly racialized. How can immigration status make it easier not only to recruit domestic workers, but also to retain them as additional means of control? ‘Foreignness’ may also make the management of the employment relation easier with employers anxious to discover a coincidence of interest with the worker. Employers are not only looking for generic ‘foreignness’ however, but typically also seek particular nationalities or ethnicities of worker, which can raise difficulties for agencies who are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of ‘race’. ... The immigration status of ‘au pair’ can function as a means, that the migrant is seen not as a worker at all. This can help nationals employers imagine private work as an opportunity rather than drudgery, and themselves as benefactors as well as employers. | European Journal of Women’s Studies, Vol. 14(3): 247–264 | Racism and precarious migration status as means to establish distinction profits by locals. | www.compas.ox.ac.United Kingdom | Migration | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||

A focus on the evils of trafficking is a way of depoliticising the debate on migration | Anderson, Bridget and Rutvica Andrijasevic | Trafficking is a theme that is supposed to bring us all together. But we believe it is necessary to tread the line of challenging motherhood and apple pie while not endorsing slavery, because the *moral panic* over trafficking is diverting attention from the structural causes of the abuse of migrant workers. Concern becomes focused on the evil wrongdoers rather than more systemic factors. In particular it ignores the state’s approach to migration and employment, which effectively *constructs groups of non-citizens* who can be treated as unequal with impunity. | Soundings, 2008(40), pp. 135–145 | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||

Once in the UK, one is confronted with similar campaigns but this time of a slightly different message; a campaign such as Blue Blindfolds calls on the general public across the UK to share any suspicions or information on cases of trafficking with the police or the Home Office. During the last decade, anti-trafficking information campaigns have played a prominent part in anti-trafficking policies throughout Europe. They have for the most part been launched in migrants’ counties of origin with the idea of warning migrants about the dangers of irregular migration. Scholars have taken interest in those campaigns and argued that despite the best intentions, those campaigns aim at reducing irregular migration, encourage women to stay at home, promote stereotypes about ‘eastern’ European societies as patriarchal and crime-ridden and of women as naïve victims (Nieuwenhuys and Pécoud, 2007; Sharma, 2003). Feminist scholars have moreover put into question the category of a ‘victim’, critiqued a slippage between ‘illegal immigration’, ‘forced prostitution’, and ‘trafficking’, and argued that these conflations divert attention from the role of the state (O’Connell Davidson, 2006). | Feminist Review, 92(1), pp. 151–156 | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||

Vohs | A heterosexual community can be analyzed as a marketplace in which men seek to acquire sex from women by offering other resources in exchange. Societies will therefore define gender roles as if women are sellers and men buyers of sex. *Societies will endow female sexuality*, but not male sexuality, with value (as in virginity, fidelity, chastity). The sexual activities of different couples are loosely interrelated by a marketplace, instead of being fully separate or private, and each couple’s decisions may be influenced by market conditions. Economic principles suggest that the price of sex will depend on supply and demand, competition among sellers, variations in product, collusion among sellers, and other factors. Research findings show *gender asymmetries* (reflecting the complementary economic roles) in prostitution, courtship, infidelity and divorce, female competition, the sexual revolution and changing norms, unequal status between partners, cultural suppression of female sexuality, abusive relationships, rape, and sexual attitudes. | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15582858 | Economics | English | Global | |||||||||||

Further consideration is given to legislative changes to eliminate anti-prostitution ideology and to support anti-oppressive approaches to addressing forced or deceptive working conditions. 1998 US religious freedom coalition introduced the International Religious Freedom Act and after the Sudan civil war famine where 70.000 died, they formed an anti-trafficking cause with radical feminists, which then was applied to the migration and prostitution debate (agenda setting, coalition formed by Michael Horowitz, Hudson Institute). | Advances in Social Work, Vol 13, No 2 (2012), 243. | TVPA 2000.

In May 2003, the Global AIDS Act was passed and prohibits allocation of US government funds to organizations that 'promote or advocate' legalization and practice of prostitution and sex trafficking. There are few documented examples of early impacts of this policy reversal on USAID-funded programmes already working with sex worker communities.

In order to address this gender imbalance some feminists have advocated the enforcement and/or strengthening of kerb crawling legislation and other schemes that *target men* who pay for sex. During 1998–9 one initiative, which aimed to target men who pay for sex in the UK, the Kerb Crawler Rehabilitation Programme (KCRP), was piloted in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Although the KCRP received considerable media coverage there has been relatively little critical debate among feminists about this approach to working with clients of sex workers. This article draws attention to some of the opposition to the Leeds KCRP. | Feminist Review No. 67, Sex Work Reassessed (Spring, 2001), pp. 94-108 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||||

Chacó | In order to understand why the TVPA from 2001 has fallen short of its goals, the Act must be analyzed in the context of its legal antecedents: the labor, immigration and sex trafficking laws that existed prior to the TVPA and that form the bulk of the Act’s substantive provisions. This article demonstrates that long before the TVPA was enacted, legal and policy decisions were made in each of these three areas that continue to exacerbate the domestic manifestations of problem of human trafficking and the related exploitation of undocumented migrant workers. Unfortunately, Congress did not systematically revisit these laws when passing the TVPA. In fact, the TVPA incorporates many provisions of these laws with only minor changes, and fails to address many of the *perverse structural incentives* that the laws create. (1) Border interdiction strategies, (2) restrictive and punitive immigration policies and (3) insufficient labor protection for migrants interact in ways that leave exploited workers in the United States at the mercy of traffickers and abusive employers, notwithstanding the TVPA. Furthermore, the narrow understanding of trafficking that dominates domestic TVPA enforcement efforts has created (4) an over-emphasis on anti-prostitution efforts to (2) the exclusion of broader issues of worker exploitation, and has also resulted in (5) racially biased understanding and enforcement of anti-trafficking laws within the United States. Unfortunately, some of the worst impulses of U.S. anti-trafficking strategies have also been incorporated into the U.S. government’s international anti-trafficking strategies. In short, as currently enforced, the TVPA exacerbates many of the negative effects of pre-existing laws, even as it alleviates some of the political pressure to address human exploitation. | Fordham Law Review, Vol. 74, p. 2977, May 2006; UC Davis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 79; UC Irvine School of Law Research Paper No. 2009-31. | Anti-Trafficking | English | U.S.A. | |||||||||||

Rhode Island District Court judge unexpectedly decriminalized indoor prostitution in 2003. This provides us the first causal estimates of the impact of decriminalization on the composition of the sex market, rape offenses, and population sexually transmitted infection outcomes. Not surprisingly, we find that decriminalization increased the size of the indoor market. However, somewhat unexpectedly, we find that decriminalization caused both forcible rape offenses and gonorrhea incidence to decline for the overall population. Our synthetic control model finds 824 fewer reported rape offenses and 1,035 fewer cases of female gonorrhea from 2004 to 2009. The combined benefits of 6 years of decriminalization are estimated to be approximately $200 million.

In Paris in 2003 a street prohibition was introduced, against both clients and soliciting persons; in Stockholm in 1999 buyers of sexual services have been criminalized, in Amsterdam in 2000 prostitution has been configured as a trade but only to Dutch or E.U. citizens. In Madrid from 1995 to 2003 there has been a period of depenalization of organizing prostitution indoors, preceded and followed by a de facto tolerance towards the “cludes de alterne” and the other venues where prostitution takes place. All these cities have problems similar to those of Italian cities where foreign women migrating from impoverished countries have come to offer sex in the streets, with the social stigma and rejection that encountered their arrival in public spaces. Worries about the “trafficking of human beings” has also been a major component of law changes that in these countries have been proposed and approved. The research presented in the volume shows how the different policies converge towards common practices: waves of anti-foreign women repression, subsequent re-organization (in worse conditions) of street prostitution, difficulties in making contact with victims of trafficking, de facto tolerance. | Politics | English | Europe | ||||||||||||

Physical and sexual violence were prevalent, with 43% reporting past-month abuse. *Clients* were the primary perpetrators; their violence was severe, compromised women's condom and sexual negotiation, and included forced and coerced anal intercourse. Sex work was a factor in intimate partner violence. *Police abuse* was largely an exploitation of power imbalances for coerced sex. Findings affirm the need to address physical and sexual violence, particularly that perpetrated by clients, as a social determinant of health for women in sex work, as well as a threat to safety and wellbeing, and a contextual barrier to HIV risk reduction. | Health, STI/HIV | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

The case story approach proved ideal for working with information like this that is highly sensitive and vulnerable to breach of anonymity because the method limits the potential to betray confidences and sources, and limits the potential to jeopardize funding and thereby jeopardize programming. This method enabled us to use specific examples without jeopardizing the organizations and individuals involved while demonstrating unintended consequences of PEPFAR's anti-prostitution pledge in its provision of services to sex workers and clients. | Journal of the international AIDS society, Vol 16 (2013), 17354 | Politics | English | Global | |||||||||||

The narratives of innocent, virginal victims purveyed in the “trafficking in women” discourse are a modern version of the myth of “white slavery.” These narratives, the article argues, reflect persisting anxieties about female sexuality and women’s autonomy. Racialised representations of the migrant “Other” as helpless, child-like, victims strips sex workers of their agency. The article argues that while the myth of “trafficking in women”/”white slavery” is ostensibly about protecting women, the underlying moral concern is with the control of “loose women.” Through the denial of migrant sex workers’ agency, these discourses serve to reinforce notions of female dependence and purity that serve to further marginalise sex workers and undermine their human rights. | International Studies Convention, Washington, DC, February 16 - 20, 1999, Gender Issues, Vol. 18, no. 1, Winter 2000, pp. 23-50. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||

There is no single, “best” approach to social finance, philanthropy and foreign aid that is much in vogue today. Instead an ecosystem of democratic, institutional and commercial funding models matched to different elements of social change is needed. Each model is analyzed in terms of its strengths, weaknesses, and applicability, and key areas of under-funding are identified.

The study examined sexual risk between these two groups of men, and the significance of the economic exchanges involved in their sexual interactions. Using a Grounded Theory approach, 23 individual interviews and 7 focus groups were analyzed. The results reveal that cultural, economic and gender factors mold sexual and social relations among a group of men who have sex with men in Peru. Compensated sex is part of the behaviors of these men, reflecting a complicated construction of sexuality based on traditional conceptions of gender roles, sexual identity and masculinity. Several factors (e.g. difficulty in negotiating condom use, low self-esteem, low risk perception, alcohol and drug consumption), in the context of compensated sex, play a role in risk-taking for HIV infection. | Sexualities, 11, 3, June, 352-374 | peru,prostitution,queer,sex work,sugardaddy | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Peru | ||||||||||

Foregrounding the current legality of prostitution in Canada, as well as the growing number of serial kidnap and murder cases involving sex workers nationwide, the project brings together two broader cultural debates regarding the moral and cultural legitimacy of prostitution, and the growing socioeconomic “disposability” of the poor and other culturally marginalized populations in an emergent global order. The project thus explores how contemporary Canadian culture registers the changing role of the human/e and of the urban under global capitalism. Considering current responses to the disappearance of 68 women—many of whom were street sex workers—from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Chapter 1 argues that sex workers’ traditional synecdochic relationship with the modern metropolis has become, in contemporary contexts, dangerously fraught. The gradual disintegration of such synecdoche, I argue, signifies the ongoing dissolution of *socio-political ties between the nation-state and its citizenry*. Chapter 2 considers two imagistic tropes in sex work-related media reports, then analyzes urban anti-prostitution initiatives growing out of the Vancouver case and others. I argue that such tropes and actions further reify emerging discourses of street sex workers as cultural “waste.” Chapter 3 examines sex worker activists’ interventions in such mainstream narrations. I discuss the political initiatives promoted on the websites of three major activist organizations, and explore the ways that online activism simultaneously expands and limits the cultural influence of these groups. Noting the over-representation of *First Nations women* among the victims in the Vancouver case and others, Chapter 4 examines intersections between and resistance to Canada’s violent colonial history, racist public policies, and whore stigma in contemporary culture as they converge around Aboriginal women in Canada’s inner-city sex trade. | English | Canada | |||||||||||||

Expands on the work of Leopoldina Fortunati (The Arcane of Reproduction - Housework, Prostitution, Labor and Capital 1955). In it, she argues against Karl Marx's claim that primitive accumulation is a necessary precursor for capitalism. Instead, she posits that *primitive accumulation* is a fundamental characteristic of capitalism itself—that capitalism, in order to perpetuate itself, requires a constant infusion of *expropriated capital*. Historical struggle for the commons and the struggle for communalism. Instead of seeing capitalism as a liberatory defeat of feudalism, Federici interprets the ascent of capitalism as a reactionary move to subvert the rising tide of communalism and to retain the basic social contract. She situates the institutionalization of rape and prostitution, as well as the heretic and witch-hunt trials, burnings, and torture at the center of a *methodical subjugation of women and appropriation of their labor*. This is tied into *colonial expropriation* and provides a framework for understanding the work of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and other *proxy institutions* as engaging in a renewed cycle of primitive accumulation, by which everything held in common—from water, to seeds, to our genetic code—becomes *privatized* in what amounts to a new round of *enclosures*. | Autonomedia, Brooklyn, NY, Edition 2009 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvia_Federici | Economics | English | Global | ||||||||||

137 | http://www.specialcollections.uws.ac.uk/documents/AbelgillianPhDnewzealand.pdf | 2010 | Decriminalisation: A harm minimisation and human rights approach to regulating sex work | Gillian Abel (Ph.D. Thesis, University of Otago, Public Health Research) | This thesis takes a community-based participatory approach, using mixed methods to examine the impact of the decriminalisation of sex work in New Zealand through the lens of a public health discourse of harm minimisation. The key question addressed in this thesis is whether decriminalisation has minimised the harms experienced by sex workers. Rather than taking a narrow view of harm minimisation and looking merely at the practices of sex workers, I have taken a more holistic stance, taking into account structural social issues which contribute to the health and wellbeing of sex workers. Data were collected through a survey of 772 sex workers. Minimal change in the size of the sex industry is not surprising as the underlying motivations for working in this industry have not changed in a decriminalised environment. As this thesis demonstrates, structural factors (such as economic climate, employment opportunities, welfare, housing and sickness benefits) are associated with the entry into sex work rather than the way the industry is regulated. Theories of social exclusion and stigma are utilised in the thesis to show how sex workers have been cast predominantly as a deviant population, associated with disease, crime and drugs. The media often make use of these associations in reporting on sex workers, which leads to heightened public anxiety and campaigns to exclude sex workers from society. Even in a decriminalised environment in New Zealand, such campaigns continue, which has meant that although decriminalisation has given sex workers in New Zealand human rights, they continue to experience stigmatisation. This thesis found that sex workers have poorer self-reported mental health than the general population of New Zealand and some of this poorer perceived mental health could be due to their ongoing stigmatisation. This is not to say that decriminalisation has not been a success. As this thesis demonstrates, sex workers in New Zealand have more control over their work environment, including their safety and their sexual health, since the passing of the Prostitution Reform Act (2003). The Act has given them legal, employment and occupational health and safety rights which has made it easier to negotiate services and safer sex with clients, has made it easier for managed sex workers to refuse to see certain clients without penalties from management and has improved the relationship between sex workers and police. The fact that sex workers can make use of the law has given them a sense of legitimacy and respectability which was absent under laws that criminalised them. The provision of human rights to sex workers through the decriminalisation of the sex industry has led to the minimisation of harm to New Zealand sex workers. | Politics | English | New Zealand | ||||||||||||

Abel and Lisa J. Fitzgerald, Cheryl Bruton | In 2003, New Zealand decriminalised sex work through the enactment of the Prostitution Reform Act. Many opponents to this legislation predicted that there would be increasing numbers of people entering sex work, especially in the street-based sector. The debates within the New Zealand media following the legislation were predominantly moralistic and there were calls for the recriminalisation of the street-based sector. This study estimated the number of sex workers post-decriminalisation in 5 locations in New Zealand: the 3 main cities in which sex work takes place as well as two smaller cities. These estimations were compared to existing estimations prior to and at the time of decriminalisation. The research suggests that the Prostitution Reform Act has had little impact on the number of people working in the sex industry. | Jnl Soc.

In 2001, Germany also made an attempt to adopt a similar concept as part of a reformed police registration system for so-called ‘politically motivated offences’, focusing predominantly on right-wing extremist crime. However, hate crime is a category which is open to selective interpretations and subjective judgments and to date there are still large empirical deficiencies regarding the identification and classification processes applied by the German police. High levels of ambiguity, uncertainty and arbitrariness initiate a debate surrounding the validity of official hate crime statistics in Germany and reveal a large potential for conflict when it comes to the definition and registration of xenophobic violence and other forms of hate-motivated crime. In this respect, it seems indispensible to carefully evaluate the implementation of the hate crime concept into Germany’s law enforcement system and to analyze current trends and developments, in order to provide valid data on the qualitative and quantitative nature of hate crime incidents in German society. | Law | English | Germany | ||||||||||||

It identifies gaps that exist between ‘laws on the books’ and ‘laws on the streets’. Recommendations: greater investments to enhance legal protections for people living with HIV and key populations, such as men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender people and people who use drugs, through strengthened engagement of parliamentarians, judiciary, police, lawyers, national human rights bodies and other key institutions. In support of these actions, donors, including the Global Fund, should promote and allocate greater resources to support government and civil society programming on HIV-related human rights programming. Additionally, national HIV strategies and plans should include specific targeted actions for the legal sector, including law reform, provision of legal aid services and education of people living with HIV, lawyers and the judiciary on HIV-related rights issues. | Law | English | Asia | ||||||||||||

The ascription of identities by advocacy NGOs to their beneficiaries is an empirically contested phenomenon. When the allegedly weak and “voiceless” persons whom advocacy NGOs claim to represent start to defend their own interests and publicly contradict the positions advocated on their behalf, conflict between these groups arises. We observe this dynamic particularly concerning the “abolition” of harmful practices, such as child work and prostitution. Child workers and prostitutes contest the way in which they are portrayed by their advocates in public discourse and especially resist the ascription of a “victim” identity. | Global Society, 27:4, 497-520, DOI: 10.1080/13600826.2013.823914 | Community Organizing | English | Global | |||||||||||

A “sexy” topic, human trafficking is not only susceptible to alluring, fetishistic and voyeuristic narratives, but plays into the celebrity-as-rescuer-of-the-victim ideal that receives excessive attention from media, policymakers and the public. While some celebrities may become knowledgeable enough to give responsible advice to law and policy makers, others engaging in anti-trafficking activism are neither knowledgeable enough nor using good judgment when interacting with those who make the laws and create anti-trafficking programs. But the responsibility must lie primarily with those same law and policy makers who are so slavishly devoted to using celebrity witnesses in order to satisfy their own desire to interact with celebrities. The extent to which law and policy makers are abdicating their duties to constituents and donors by allowing celebrity activists to provide them with legal and policy advice is emblematic of the larger and more general problems with funding, narratives and the shallow level of discourse in current anti-trafficking initiatives. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||||

While the majority of women are employed as bartenders or waitresses in tourist areas of Phnom Penh, outside observers tend to erroneously label them as ‘prostitutes’ or ‘broken women’ because of the gift-based nature of the intimate exchanges. Ethnographic evidence demonstrates, however, that they make up a diverse and nuanced group of individuals who engage in relationships more complex than simply ‘sex-for-cash’ exchanges, and often seek marriage and love in addition to material comforts. Though they do not view themselves as ‘prostitutes’, the distinction of the term ‘professional’ is used to emphasize that 1) they do rely on the formation of these relationships as a means of livelihood and their motivations are initially materially-based; 2) they engage in multiple overlapping transactional relationships, usually unbeknownst to their other partners; 3) there is a performance of intimacy, whereby the professed feelings of love and dedication lie somewhere on a continuum between genuine and feigned, and where the term ‘love’ itself carries multiple meanings. The research further reveals not only the stereotypes, contradictions, and structural constraints experienced by these young women, but also their entrepreneurialism, determination and creativity. Despite trauma related to recent political past, sexual violence, stigma, depression and self-harming, they use tools of global feminine youth culture, consumption, linguistic ability, ‘bar girl’ subculture, and interpersonal relationships to make socioeconomic advancements and find enjoyment in their lives. The practice of ‘intimate ethnography’ also illuminates the negotiation of intimacy and friendship between the participants and researcher, as well as the general materiality and exchange of everyday sex and relationships around the globe. | Interview | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-henry-sterry/everything-you-think-you-_b_4086449.html | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Combodia | ||||||||||

The new social science behind why you’re never able to convince friends or foes to even consider things from your side. | Horowitz, Eric (newspaper article) | The psychological barriers to evidence based policy arguments - Self-protection against threats to your self-image or self-worth. Self-affirmation—a mental exercise that increases feelings of self-worth—makes people more willing to accept threatening information. By raising or “affirming” your self-worth, you can then encounter things that lower your self-worth without a net decrease. - Information is more likely to have the desired effect if, on net, it doesn’t lower a person’s self-worth. - Humans attribute our failures to external factors (bad luck), but our success to internal factors (skill). - “Motivated reasoning”: Professional politicians are dogmatic. They disregard your proof of arguments. Even if we demand evidence based policy. - Intransigence (Kompromißlosigkeit) Our openness to information depends on how it affects self-worth - “Backfire effect”: when people are presented with corrective information that runs counter to their ideology, those who most strongly identify with the ideology will intensify their incorrect beliefs. When information presents a greater threat, it’s less likely to have an impact. - Self-imunisation: The upshot of your argument is that he has spent years supporting a set of policies that kill people. And yet he knows there’s no way that could be true because he’s a good person who wants what’s best for the world. So what you’re saying has to be false. It’s not even worth considering. - Strongest arguments are typically utilized: The arguments that are most threatening to opponents are viewed as the strongest and cited most often. Liberals are baby-killers (pro choice) while conservatives won’t let women control their own body (pro life). - Arguments or demonstrations often only have a community building effect on the own party: Each argument is game-set-match for those already partial to it, but too threatening to those who aren’t. political parties the priority is often driving activism rather than changing minds, and thus threatening arguments may be a better choice. - Stay lower than the opponent's thread threshold: Those arguments are objectively weaker, but it’s more likely to be below the threat threshold that leads to automatic rejection. It might actually be considered. Using the weakest points is a type of formal compromising with your opponents personality. That is what drives peaceful politics not creating victims or losers.

The qualitative data were analyzed using an adapted form of *grounded theory*. It was found that client-perpetrated sexual violence within male sex work appears to be uncommon. However, when sexual violence did occur the cause was a disagreement over barebacking. Escorts’ explanations for the low level of sexual violence within this sector included (1) that gay men were non-confrontational, (2) their clients led clandestine lifestyles avoiding undue attention, and (3) comparatively, female sex workers were perceived to be more vulnerable resulting in the higher level of sexual violence within the female sex work industry. | International Journal of Sexual Health, Volume 23, Issue 1, 2011, pages 63-78. | In MSM sex work more often the client is victim of violence, when a gay4pay escort is freaking out. Typically the sex worker is the physically stronger party. But very young, boyish escorts can experience violence similar known to female sex workers. Gay and trans* sex workers experience violence form the community (hate crime). Sex workers are multi-dimensional stigmatized (intersectionality). | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||||||

In recent times, sex workers have begun to demand appropriate payment from researchers who need our assistance and have critiqued research that is sloppy or morally biased. Horror stories exist within sex worker communities of lives ruined and discriminatory laws made as a result of outsiders researching and reporting on our activities. Positive research experiences are few and far between, but we are determined to create them by leading our own research and having input into the research projects of others in formative stages. In order to create a more reflexive practice, non-sex worker researchers must better interrogate their own motives for researching sex work, and sex workers must be positioned as active, not passive, voices in research about our work. This paper discusses proven best practice ways of involving sex workers so as to produce better quality research that informs law-making, policy, wellbeing and other regulatory outcomes. The paper is based upon the August 2009 International Sex Worker Think Tank on Research, and parts of this paper were originally presented at the National Centre for HIV Social Research conference at UNSW in April 2010. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||||||||

185 | http://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/njlsp/vol8/iss2/5/ | 2012 | The Asylum Claim for Victims of Attempted Trafficking | Karvelis, Kelly | The state of the law regarding refugees in the United States has been characterized in the recent past by inconsistent rulings among the Circuit Courts, and narrow applications of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which provides the basis for asylum eligibility. In the midst of this sometimes-contradictory application of the INA, victims of attempted sex trafficking (those who have faced threats or attempts by sex traffickers to force them into sexual slavery) have consistently been rejected for asylum by U.S. courts. Federal courts have uniformly denied these asylum claims by ruling that these victims do not meet the INA’s requirement that refugees fall into a particular social group. Therefore, this Comment focuses largely on the argument that U.S. courts have interpreted the “social group” provision in an unduly narrow fashion, and that victims of attempted trafficking do indeed satisfy this element of the INA’s test for asylum eligibility. This Comment argues that U.S. courts’ rejections of these asylum claims are inconsistent with the legislative intent behind the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, federal case law that has granted asylum petitions in similar contexts, and the United Nations’ and international interpretations of refugee law. Based on these reasons and public policy concerns, U.S. courts should recognize the valid claims of many of these victims of attempted trafficking, and grant them the asylum that they deserve. | Anti-Trafficking | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

As part of a larger project examining male escorts working for a single agency, MSWs (n = 38) were interviewed about their work and personal lives. MSWs developed more self-efficacy around sex work behaviors and more positive outcome expectations with experience; moral conflict and lack of attraction to clients limited MSWs' self-efficacy. Key variables for sex work appeared to be cognitive in nature-mostly represented by a *decreased commitment to normative social/sexual values*, the specific nature of which may have varied by *sexual orientation*. Findings support the contention that *social-cognitive theory can effectively model entry of young men into sex work*.

The report concludes by calling for sex workers, people who use drugs, and other similarly marginalized communities to engage in “parallel battles for autonomy and empowerment in the face of crosscutting social exclusion, control, stigmatisation, and an undermining of agency and self-determination, battles against the same modes of silencing, pathologisation, and disempowerment. | Drugs | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Prostitution in Sweden has been (re)defined according to a *‘radical feminist’ discourse* as a form of gendered violence against women. These constructions have resulted in the *exclusion of sex workers*. *Harm reduction* initiatives are seen to endorse, encourage, and facilitate sex work, and are therefore seen to damage efforts to abolish prostitution. There is no convincing evidence that overall levels of prostitution have declined since 1999. Instead, some sex work has simply been displaced from public space by targeted policing and advances in telecommunications technologies. | Presented at the sex worker open university Sex Workers’ Rights Festival Glasgow, 6 April, 2013 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | |||||||||||

(Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Minnesota, now ass. prof. Uni. Delaware) | Feminists’ most important contribution, however, lies in the investigations of the social construction of human trafficking, which highlight the de-structive role that sexist and racist stereotypes play in constructing the category of trafficking victims. ... If the referent object of security is the state, then countertrafficking will focus primarily on border control policies and therefore will consider trafficked persons to be criminals rather than victims. Not only does this further threaten the human rights of trafficking victims, it may also lead to a victim’s re-trafficking upon being deported into the same situation. ... Abolitionists feminists primarily address prostitution, conflating human trafficking with sex trafficking. ... Notions of security that rely on protection reinforce gender hierarchies that, in turn, diminish women’s (and certain men’s) real security. | Security Studies, 18:319–344, 2009 | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||

The analysis reveals the relationships among media, law, political hypocrisy, and violence against street prostitutes. In particular, the article examines how the “discourse of disposal”—that is, media descriptions of the ongoing attempts of politicians, police, and residents’ groups to get rid of street prostitution from residential areas—contributed to a sharp increase in murders of street prostitutes in British Columbia after 1980 (average 12 sex worker murders per year in Canada). | Violence Against Women (2000), 6(9), 987-1011 | Law | English | Canada | |||||||||||
213 | http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?paperID=5204 | 2011 | Deadly Inertia: A History of Constitutional Challenges to Canada’s Criminal Code Sections on Prostitution | Lowman, John | This paper examines rhetoric surrounding prostitution law reform in Canada from 1970 to the present. During the 1950s and 1960s, there was very little media or political attention paid to prostitution. It was not until the mid 1970s that perceived problems with prostitution law began to surface, driven by concerns that the criminal code statute prohibiting street prostitution was not enforceable. In 1983 the Liberal government appointed the Special Committee on Pornography and Prostitution to consider options for law and policy reform. However, the Conservative government that received the report in 1985 rejected the sweeping law changes the Special Committee recommended, opting instead to rewrite the street prostitution offence. Since then the murder of somewhere between 200-300 street prostitutes has prompted renewed calls for law reform. The debate on law reform culminated in 2006 with a parliamentary review that saw all four federal political parties agreeing that Canada’s prostitution laws are “unacceptable,” but unable to agree about how to change them. The majority report held that *consenting adult prostitution* should be legal, while the minority report held that it should be prohibited. In 2007 the Standing Committee on the Status of Women recommended that Canada adopt the *Nordic model* of demand-side prohibition. As the deadlock continues, women in the street sex trade continue to be murdered. Faced with this deadly inertia, 2 groups of sex workers have challenged several Criminal Code sections relating to prostitution, arguing that they violate several of their Constitutional rights, including their right to “life, liberty and security of the person”. The paper concludes with an update on the progress of the Charter challenges now before the courts. | Beijing Law Review, 2(2), 33-54. | Law | English | Canada | |||||||||||

I will argue against the political efficacy of seeing rape as the fixed reality of women's lives, against an identity politics which defines women by our violability, and for a shift of scene from rape and its aftermath to rape situations themselves and to rape prevention. Many current theories of rape present rape as an inevitable material fact of life and assume that a rapist's ability to physically overcome his target is the foundation of rape. Such a view takes *violence as a self-explanatory first cause* and endows it with an invulnerable and terrifying facticity which *stymies our ability to challenge and demystify rape*. | in: Butler, Judith: "Feminists Theorize the Political", Routledge, New York 2002. | Criminology, Feminism | English | Global | |||||||||||

Thomas (City College NY) | This article explores how the efficiency of Internet search is changing the way Americans find romantic partners. We use a new data source, the How Couples Meet and Stay Together survey. Results show that for 60 years, family and grade school have been steadily declining in their influence over the *dating market*. In the past 15 years, the rise of the Internet has partly displaced not only family and school, but also neighborhood, friends, and the workplace as venues for meeting partners. The Internet increasingly allows Americans to meet and form relationships with perfect strangers, that is, people with whom they had no previous social tie. Individuals who face a thin market for potential partners, such as gays, lesbians, and middle-aged heterosexuals, are especially likely to meet partners online. One result of the increasing importance of the Internet in meeting partners is that adults with Internet access at home are substantially more likely to have partners, even after controlling for other factors. Partnership rate has increased during the Internet era (consistent with Internet efficiency of search) for same-sex couples, but the heterosexual partnership rate has been flat. | Technology | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Sex workers were particularly sensitive to being identified and belittled within the health care environment. Demand-side barriers also featured, including competing time commitments and costs of transport and some treatment, reflecting SWs' marginalised socio-economic position. Conclusion: Improving treatment access for SWs is critical for their own health, programme equity, and public health benefit. Programmes working to reduce SW attrition from HIV care need to proactively address the quality and environment of public services. Sensitising health workers through specialised training, refining referral systems from sex-worker friendly clinics into the national system, and providing opportunities for SW to collectively organise for improved treatment and rights might help alleviate the barriers to treatment initiation and attention currently faced by SW. | Health, STI/HIV | English | Global | ||||||||||||

We need to understand the politics behind sexuality, sexual rights and sex work because the liberation of all women, the equitable distribution of power and resources, and the ability to control our own bodies are indeed critical to our feminist agenda.

This battle will continue to be characterised by a dispute over the legitimacy of prostitution, perpetuating a belief that prostitution is distinct to other forms of labour, and that systems of legalised prostitution are fuelling trafficking in young women and girls. It seems absurd that while the demand for sexual services is maligned and cast as the primary factor fuelling the trafficking in women, the demand for cheap clothes or fruit is rarely viewed as the cause of trafficking in the garment and agricultural industries. Over time, this perspective may change to a point where it is the exploitation of labour, rather than the labour itself, which is condemned in all industries where trafficking occurs. In the short term, we should at least be allowed to expect that policy be informed by reliable evidence, not just ideology. | Law | English | Global | ||||||||||||

We identify “lack of recognition as a person before the law” as an important but undocumented barrier to accessing services and conclude that multi-faceted, setting-specific reform is needed—rather than a singular focus on decriminalization—if the health and human rights of sex workers are to be realized. Lack of Legal Personality: criminalisation of drug use, gender transgression, and HIV transmission. Prevents sex workers from making the same claims as other on office holder, employers, and service providers.

(in German only: Menschenhandel zum Zweck der Arbeitsausbeutung – ein Thema für Gewerkschaften?) | Pallmann, Ildikó und Anne Pawletta | Human trafficking for forced labor purposes is receiving more and more attention in the public discourse on human trafficking. In this article, we will address a number of questions regarding the work done by trade unions to counteract human trafficking for forced labor purposes, beginning with some thoughts on why unions are active in this field. What examples exist for successful union involvement? And what difficulties might prevent a stronger and more substantial commitment by unions? Many cases of human trafficking occur in sectors with a *low rate of unionization*, or areas like domestic services, which are generally difficult for unions to reach. The gap between unions and the sectors that are especially important is increased by a number of unions clinging to “old” traditional industries. Also, many of the people in question are migratory workers. In this article, we will analyze the innovative approaches used by unions to overcome these difficulties – for instance, by *organizing migratory workers in unions* or union-affiliated associations, and offering low-threshold advice for people who could be potentially affected. | pp. 177 | Community Organizing | German | Germany | |||||||||||

Peppet, Professor of Law, University of Colorado Law School | Novel approach to prostitution reform focused on incremental market improvement facilitated by information law and policy. Empirical evidence from the economics and sociology of sex work shows that new, Internet-enabled, indoor forms of prostitution may be healthier, less violent, and more rewarding than traditional street prostitution. This Article argues that these existing “Prostitution 2.0” innovations have not yet improved sex markets sufficiently to warrant legalization. It suggests that creating a new “Prostitution 3.0” that solves the remaining problems of disease, violence, and coercion in prostitution markets is possible, but would require removing legal barriers to ongoing technological innovation in this context, such as state laws criminalizing technologies that “advance prostitution.” This Article considers what Prostitution 3.0 might entail, how it might be created, and whether it would succeed in remedying the ongoing problems in prostitution markets. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||||||||

We predicted that, among men who perform cunnilingus on their partner, those at greater risk of *sperm competition* are more likely to perform cunnilingus until their partner achieves orgasm (Prediction 1), and that, among men who ejaculate during penile-vaginal intercourse and whose partner experiences a cunnilingus-assisted orgasm, ejaculation will occur during the brief period in which female orgasm might function to retain sperm (Prediction 2). The results support Prediction 1 but not Prediction 2. We discuss limitations of the current research and discuss how these results may be more consistent with alternative hypotheses regarding female orgasm and oral sex. | Evolutionary Psychology 11(2): 405-414 | http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2350785/Whats-point-oral-sex-New-scientific-study-says-men-perform-cunnilingus-minimize-risk-infidelity.html | Sexology | English | Global | ||||||||||

This paper brings together extensive qualitative fieldwork from two cities in the UK to unpack the intricacies in relation to violence and safety for indoor workers. Firstly, we document the types of violence women experience in indoor venues noting how the vulnerabilities surrounding work-based hazards are dependent on the environment in which sex is sold. Secondly, we highlight the protection strategies that indoor workers and management develop to maintain safety and order in the establishment. Thirdly, we use these empirical findings to suggest that violence should be a high priority on the policy agenda. Here we contend that the organizational and cultural conditions that seem to offer some protection from violence in indoor settings could be useful for informing the management of street sex work. Finally, drawing on the crime prevention literature, we argue that it is possible to go a considerable way to designing out vulnerability in sex work, but not only through physical and organizational change but building in *respect* for sex workers rights by developing policies that promote the employment/human rights and citizenship for sex workers. This argument is made in light of the Coordinated Prostitution Strategy. | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||||||

This situation has had an extreme impact on the physical, mental and social wellbeing of this population. Overall, the article details the multiple effects of sex work criminalisation on the everyday lives of sex workers and on their social interactions and relationships. Underlying their stories, however, are narratives of resilience and resistance. Sex workers in our study draw on their own individual survival strategies and informal forms of support and very occasionally opt to seek recourse through formal channels. They generally recognize the benefits of *unified actions* in assisting them to counter risks in their environment and mobilise against human rights violations, but note how the fluctuant and stigmatised nature of their profession often undermines collective action. Conclusions: While criminal laws urgently need reform, supporting sex work self-organisation and community-building are key interim strategies for safeguarding sex workers’ human rights and improving health outcomes in these communities. If developed at sufficient scale and intensity, sex work organisations could play a critical role in reducing the present harms caused by criminalisation and stigma. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Africa | ||||||||||||

This article addresses our work with collectivising rural women not in sex work (Vidrohi Mahila Manch [Platform for Rebellious Women] (VMM in Sangli) and rural women in sex work (Veshya Anyay Mukti Parishad (VAMP)) from South Maharashtra and North Karnataka, India. It examines the apparent control adult women in sex work have over their own bodies and lives. Although it is true that unless acting collectively, they are less successful in confronting organised criminal gangs and the brutal side of law enforcers, most of them boldly confront sexual relations with individual male clients and men from their own community. | IDS Bulletin, 45: 46–52. doi: 10.1111/1759-5436.12067 | Politics | English | India | |||||||||||

Women in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES) are highly marginalized and struggle with multiple morbidities, unstable housing, addiction, survival sex, and elevated risk of sexual and drug-related harms, including HIV infection. Although recent studies have identified the heightened risk of HIV infection among women engaged in sex work and injection drug use, the uptake of HIV care among this population has received little attention. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the needs of women engaged in survival sex work and to assess utilization and acceptance of HAART. During November 2003, a baseline needs assessment was conducted among 159 women through a low-threshold drop-in centre servicing street-level sex workers in Vancouver. Cross-sectional data were used to describe the sociodemographic characteristics, drug use patterns, HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing and status, and attitudes towards HAART. High rates of cocaine injection, heroin injection, and smokeable crack cocaine use reflect the vulnerable and chaotic nature of this population. Although preliminary findings suggest an overall high uptake of health and social services, there was limited attention to HIV care with only 9\% of the women on HAART. Self-reported barriers to accessing treatment were largely attributed to misinformation and misconceptions about treatment. Given the acceptability of accessing HAART through community interventions and women specific services, this study highlights the potential to reach this highly marginalized group and provides valuable baseline information on a population that has remained largely outside consistent HIV care. | Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 82, 3, September, 488--97, | Adult,Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active,Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active: utilization,Canada,Canada: epidemiology,Community Health Services,Community Health Services: supply distribution,Community Health Services: utilization,Female,HIV Infections,HIV Infections: epidemiology,HIV Infections: therapy,Health Services Accessibility,Hepatitis C,Hepatitis C: epidemiology,Humans,Middle Aged,Poverty Areas,Prostitution,Substance-Related Disorders,Substance-Related Disorders: epidemiology,Urban Population | Health, STI/HIV | English | Canada | ||||||||||

This is notwithstanding global evidence of the multiple harms faced by this population, including high rates of violence and poverty, and enhanced vulnerabilities to HIV transmission among women who smoke or inject drugs. In response, a participatory-action research project was developed in partnership with a local sex work agency to examine the HIV-related vulnerabilities, barriers to accessing care, and impact of current prevention and harm reduction strategies among women in survival sex work. This paper provides a brief background of the health and drug-related harms among substance-using women in survival sex work, and outlines the development and methodology of a community-based HIV prevention research project partnership. In doing so, we discuss some of the strengths and challenges of community-based HIV prevention research, as well as some key ethical considerations, in the context of street-level sex work in an urban setting. | Harm reduction journal, 4, January, 20 | Health, STI/HIV | English | Canada | |||||||||||

I discuss how calls to “end trafficking, especially in women and children” are influenced by – and go on to legitimate – governmental practices to criminalize the self-willed migration of people moving without official permission. I discuss how the ideological frame of anti-trafficking works to reinforce restrictive immigration practices, shore up a nationalized consciousness of space and home, and criminalize those rendered illegal within national territories. Anti-trafficking campaigns also fail to take into account migrants’ limited agency in the migration process. I provide alternative routes to anti-trafficking campaigns by arguing for an analytical framework in which the related worldwide crises of displacement and migration are foregrounded. I argue that by centering the standpoint of undocumented migrants a more transformative politics emerges, one that demands that people be able to “stay” and to “move” in a self-determined manner. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||||

In particular, the federal, and state and territory governments have yet to take up the opportunity to link anti-trafficking efforts with initiatives aimed at improving the working conditions of workers in the sex industry. We suggest this reflects a common—but unjustified—assumption that “labour trafficking” and “sex trafficking” are distinct and different species of harm. As a result of this distinction, workers in the Australian sex industry —an industry where slavery and trafficking crimes have been detected— are missing out on a suite of potentially effective prevention interventions, and access to civil remedies. We argue that there is a need to provide practical and financial support, so that the national industrial regulator, the Fair Work Ombudsman, can work directly with sex worker advocacy groups, to examine opportunities and barriers to accessing the labour law system, particularly for migrant sex workers. | The Anti-Trafficking Review, Issue 1, 2012, pp.60-79. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Australia | |||||||||||

Some media depicted Norwegian men as victims of the ‘nasty’ Nigerian women, and the Norwegian women. “The discussion about human trafficking swept everything else out of the way”. Norway then enacted the Sex Purchase Act 2009 after a period of trafficking and migration fears. Paper: "The development of Norwegian prostitution policies" in: Sexuality Research and Social Policy no. 3.12. Much of the literature on prostitution is unusable for research purposes because it is difficult to know if the conclusions are derived from the data or from the researcher’s political position. The view on prostitution is a cultural expression about unequal power relationships, but only addressing a symptom not the reason of poverty or inequality. | Politics | English | Norway | ||||||||||||

Some have suggested that those who have difficulty downregulating their sexual desires be diagnosed as having a sexual “addiction”. However, such symptoms also may be better understood as a non-pathological variation of high sexual desire. Hypersexuals are thought to be relatively sexual reward sensitized, but also to have high exposure to visual sexual stimuli. If individuals exhibit habituation, their P300 amplitude to sexual stimuli should be diminished; if they merely have high sexual desire, their P300 amplitude to sexual stimuli should be increased. Neural responsivity to sexual stimuli in a sample of hypersexuals could differentiate these two competing explanations of symptoms. 52 (13 female) individuals viewed emotional photographs while electroencephalography was collected. Larger P300 amplitude differences to pleasant sexual stimuli, relative to neutral stimuli, was negatively related to measures of sexual desire, but not related to measures of hypersexuality. | Huffington Post: Sex Addiction Does Not Appear To Be A Disorder, UCLA Study Says | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/19/sex-addiction-not-disorder-ucla_n_3624393.html | Sexology | English | Global | ||||||||||

Why don´t we perform and show sex differently, instead of idealizing a way back to nature? The concept called "post-porn" was invented by erotic photographer Wink van Kempen and made popular by sexwork-activist and performance artist Annie M. Sprinkle. It claimed a new status of sexual representation: Through identifying with critical joy and agancy while deconstructing its hetero/normative and naturalising conditions, Sprinkle made us think of sex as a category open for use and appropriation of queer_feminist counter-pleasures beyond the victimising framework of censorship and taboo. | He decided to pass away Mai 2013.

Too often in this area, the canons of scientific inquiry are suspended and research deliberately skewed to serve a particular political agenda. Much of this work has been done by writers who regard the sex industry as a despicable institution and who are active in campaigns to abolish it. In this commentary, I examine several theoretical and methodological flaws in this literature, both generally and with regard to three recent articles in Violence Against Women. The articles in question are by Jody Raphael and Deborah Shapiro (2004), Melissa Farley (2004), and Janice Raymond (2004). At least two of the authors (Farley and Raymond) are activists involved in the antiprostitution campaign. | VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN, Vol. 11 No. 7, July 2005 934-949 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | |||||||||||

This article examines the social construction of sex trafficking (and prostitution more generally) in the discourse of leading activists and organizations within the crusade, and concludes that the central claims are problematic, unsubstantiated, or demonstrably false. The analysis documents the increasing endorsement and institutionalization of crusade ideology in U.S. government policy and practice. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Centered largely on street prostitution zones and nations where prostitution is illegal, this literature gives insufficient attention to settings where RLDs consist of a cluster of indoor venues that are legal and regulated by the authorities. Using classic *Chicago School vice districts model* [Walter Reckless 1926] as a point of departure, this article examines the physical structure and social organization of red-light zones in 2 Belgian cities: Antwerp and Brussels. The comparative analysis identifies major differences in the social ecology of the two settings. Differences are explained by the distinctive ways in which each municipal government manages its respective RLD, which are related to the contrasting social backgrounds and political capital of the population residing in the vicinity of each district. Antwerp RLD was reinvented and renovated end of 1990 with public money. It is the antithesis to the traditional vice district as in Brussels. Differences between the 2 settings can be explained largely by the distinctive policies and practices of local officials—reform-oriented intervention, ongoing oversight, management and middle-class gentrification (Antwerp) vs laissez-faire tolerance, disregard and lower-class marginalization (Brussels). List of regulatory measures.

However service coverage levels for HIV prevention services among sex workers are low (generally <50%). HIV prevention services for male and transgender sex workers are almost non-existent, as are programs for male clients. • Where sex worker rights organizations have partnered effectively with government the response to HIV among sex workers has been particularly effective and sustainable. This has meant prevention services which involve significant sex worker leadership in their design and implementation and which attend to structural barriers to safe sex. • Empowerment-based, comprehensive HIV prevention among sex workers is cost-effective, particularly in higher prevalence settings where it becomes cost-saving. The cost per client for the intervention ranges from $102 to $184, with United Kingdomraine having the lowest and Brazil the highest cost per client. Labor costs are the major expense, and account for the majority of variation across countries. • Violence, stigma and discrimination against sex workers are extremely prevalent. Addressing violence, stigma and discrimination against sex workers is also a human rights imperative. • There is a good justification based on the analyses presented herein to more equitably allocate HIV prevention funding to interventions focused on sex workers, such as the comprehensive community empowerment intervention. | Health, STI/HIV | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Instead there needs to be a shift at the policy, legal and administrative levels to reflect an understanding that the women, men and transgender people engaged in commercial sexual services are engaged in a labour process. From this labour framework, it is then possible to identify instances of forced labour and poor working conditions and enact appropriate remedies and responses while at the same time protecting the rights of sex workers and migrants. | Anti-Trafficking | English | United Kingdom | ||||||||||||

We wanted this information so that we can collectively build a social justice campaign to respond to broad systemic harm. From this, YWEP’s first youth developed, led, and analyzed research project was born. Our research questions were: 1. What individual and institutional violence do girls in the sex trade experience? 2. How do we heal/bounce back from this violence? 3. How do we resist/fight back against this violence? 4. How can we unite and collectively fight back? We answered these questions using 4 tools: we did focus groups with our membership and outreach workers, we created a fill in the blank zine so that girls could document the ways they heal and fight back, we used ethnographic observation by paying attention and writing down the experiences of our outreach contacts, and we asked new questions in our workshops about how girls take care of themselves and avoid violence. | Young Women’s Empowerment Project.

The report concludes by calling for sex workers, people who use drugs, and other similarly marginalized communities to engage in “parallel battles for autonomy and empowerment in the face of crosscutting social exclusion, control, stigmatisation, and an undermining of agency and self-determination, battles against the same modes of silencing, pathologisation, and disempowerment. | Drugs | English | Global | ||||||||||||

This article addresses our work with collectivising rural women not in sex work (Vidrohi Mahila Manch [Platform for Rebellious Women] (VMM in Sangli) and rural women in sex work (Veshya Anyay Mukti Parishad (VAMP)) from South Maharashtra and North Karnataka, India. It examines the apparent control adult women in sex work have over their own bodies and lives. Although it is true that unless acting collectively, they are less successful in confronting organised criminal gangs and the brutal side of law enforcers, most of them boldly confront sexual relations with individual male clients and men from their own community. | IDS Bulletin, 45: 46–52. doi: 10.1111/1759-5436.12067 | Politics | English | India | |||||||||||

Because courts and employers treat work in the commercial sex industry as unworthy of protection, labor laws largely exclude stripping from those legal definitions of “employment” providing for labor organizing and wage, hour and anti-discrimination protections.

Legalization has failed to yield the type of advances for strippers envisioned by the regulation hypothesis. Because courts and employers treat work in the commercial sex industry as unworthy of protection, labor laws largely exclude stripping from those legal definitions of “employment” providing for labor organizing and wage, hour and anti-discrimination protections. Moreover, local governments deploy regulatory law to eliminate or significantly constrict the presence of strip clubs in their communities. These legal measures, such as zoning ordinances and nudity bans, have only tightened the labor market for strippers, thereby increasing strippers’ vulnerability to employer abuses. | Law | English | Global | ||||||||||||

However service coverage levels for HIV prevention services among sex workers are low (generally <50%). HIV prevention services for male and transgender sex workers are almost non-existent, as are programs for male clients. • Where sex worker rights organizations have partnered effectively with government the response to HIV among sex workers has been particularly effective and sustainable. This has meant prevention services which involve significant sex worker leadership in their design and implementation and which attend to structural barriers to safe sex. • Empowerment-based, comprehensive HIV prevention among sex workers is cost-effective, particularly in higher prevalence settings where it becomes cost-saving. The cost per client for the intervention ranges from $102 to $184, with United Kingdomraine having the lowest and Brazil the highest cost per client. Labor costs are the major expense, and account for the majority of variation across countries. • Violence, stigma and discrimination against sex workers are extremely prevalent. Addressing violence, stigma and discrimination against sex workers is also a human rights imperative. • There is a good justification based on the analyses presented herein to more equitably allocate HIV prevention funding to interventions focused on sex workers, such as the comprehensive community empowerment intervention. | Health, STI/HIV | English | Global | ||||||||||||

A “sexy” topic, human trafficking is not only susceptible to alluring, fetishistic and voyeuristic narratives, but plays into the celebrity-as-rescuer-of-the-victim ideal that receives excessive attention from media, policymakers and the public. While some celebrities may become knowledgeable enough to give responsible advice to law and policy makers, others engaging in anti-trafficking activism are neither knowledgeable enough nor using good judgment when interacting with those who make the laws and create anti-trafficking programs. But the responsibility must lie primarily with those same law and policy makers who are so slavishly devoted to using celebrity witnesses in order to satisfy their own desire to interact with celebrities. The extent to which law and policy makers are abdicating their duties to constituents and donors by allowing celebrity activists to provide them with legal and policy advice is emblematic of the larger and more general problems with funding, narratives and the shallow level of discourse in current anti-trafficking initiatives. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||||

MSWs developed more self-efficacy around sex work behaviors and more positive outcome expectations with experience; moral conflict and lack of attraction to clients limited MSWs' self-efficacy. Key variables for sex work appeared to be cognitive in nature-mostly represented by a *decreased commitment to normative social/sexual values*, the specific nature of which may have varied by *sexual orientation*. Findings support the contention that *social-cognitive theory can effectively model entry of young men into sex work*.

We predicted that, among men who perform cunnilingus on their partner, those at greater risk of *sperm competition* are more likely to perform cunnilingus until their partner achieves orgasm (Prediction 1), and that, among men who ejaculate during penile-vaginal intercourse and whose partner experiences a cunnilingus-assisted orgasm, ejaculation will occur during the brief period in which female orgasm might function to retain sperm (Prediction 2). The results support Prediction 1 but not Prediction 2. We discuss limitations of the current research and discuss how these results may be more consistent with alternative hypotheses regarding female orgasm and oral sex. | Evolutionary Psychology 11(2): 405-414 | http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2350785/Whats-point-oral-sex-New-scientific-study-says-men-perform-cunnilingus-minimize-risk-infidelity.html | Sexology | English | Global | ||||||||||

Some have suggested that those who have difficulty downregulating their sexual desires be diagnosed as having a sexual “addiction”. However, such symptoms also may be better understood as a non-pathological variation of high sexual desire. Hypersexuals are thought to be relatively sexual reward sensitized, but also to have high exposure to visual sexual stimuli. If individuals exhibit habituation, their P300 amplitude to sexual stimuli should be diminished; if they merely have high sexual desire, their P300 amplitude to sexual stimuli should be increased. Neural responsivity to sexual stimuli in a sample of hypersexuals could differentiate these two competing explanations of symptoms. 52 (13 female) individuals viewed emotional photographs while electroencephalography was collected. Larger P300 amplitude differences to pleasant sexual stimuli, relative to neutral stimuli, was negatively related to measures of sexual desire, but not related to measures of hypersexuality. | Huffington Post: Sex Addiction Does Not Appear To Be A Disorder, UCLA Study Says | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/19/sex-addiction-not-disorder-ucla_n_3624393.html | Sexology | English | Global | ||||||||||

There is no single, “best” approach to social finance, philanthropy and foreign aid that is much in vogue today. Instead an ecosystem of democratic, institutional and commercial funding models matched to different elements of social change is needed. Each model is analyzed in terms of its strengths, weaknesses, and applicability, and key areas of under-funding are identified. The paper ends by describing a number of promising experiments that achieve the double impact of boosting support for radical changes in society while lso transforming the relationships surrounding money that currently separate donors from recipients. | Economics | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Sex workers were particularly sensitive to being identified and belittled within the health care environment. Demand-side barriers also featured, including competing time commitments and costs of transport and some treatment, reflecting SWs' marginalised socio-economic position. Conclusion: Improving treatment access for SWs is critical for their own health, programme equity, and public health benefit. Programmes working to reduce SW attrition from HIV care need to proactively address the quality and environment of public services. Sensitising health workers through specialised training, refining referral systems from sex-worker friendly clinics into the national system, and providing opportunities for SW to collectively organise for improved treatment and rights might help alleviate the barriers to treatment initiation and attention currently faced by SW. | Health, STI/HIV | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Peppet, Professor of Law, University of Colorado Law School | Novel approach to prostitution reform focused on incremental market improvement facilitated by information law and policy. Empirical evidence from the economics and sociology of sex work shows that new, Internet-enabled, indoor forms of prostitution may be healthier, less violent, and more rewarding than traditional street prostitution. This Article argues that these existing “Prostitution 2.0” innovations have not yet improved sex markets sufficiently to warrant legalization. It suggests that creating a new “Prostitution 3.0” that solves the remaining problems of disease, violence, and coercion in prostitution markets is possible, but would require removing legal barriers to ongoing technological innovation in this context, such as state laws criminalizing technologies that “advance prostitution.” This Article considers what Prostitution 3.0 might entail, how it might be created, and whether it would succeed in remedying the ongoing problems in prostitution markets. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||||||||

This situation has had an extreme impact on the physical, mental and social wellbeing of this population. Overall, the article details the multiple effects of sex work criminalisation on the everyday lives of sex workers and on their social interactions and relationships. Underlying their stories, however, are narratives of resilience and resistance. Sex workers in our study draw on their own individual survival strategies and informal forms of support and very occasionally opt to seek recourse through formal channels. They generally recognize the benefits of *unified actions* in assisting them to counter risks in their environment and mobilise against human rights violations, but note how the fluctuant and stigmatised nature of their profession often undermines collective action. Conclusions: While criminal laws urgently need reform, supporting sex work self-organisation and community-building are key interim strategies for safeguarding sex workers’ human rights and improving health outcomes in these communities. If developed at sufficient scale and intensity, sex work organisations could play a critical role in reducing the present harms caused by criminalisation and stigma. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Africa | ||||||||||||

The new social science behind why you’re never able to convince friends or foes to even consider things from your side. | Horowitz, Eric (newspaper article) | The psychological barriers to evidence based policy arguments - Self-protection against threats to your self-image or self-worth. Self-affirmation—a mental exercise that increases feelings of self-worth—makes people more willing to accept threatening information. By raising or “affirming” your self-worth, you can then encounter things that lower your self-worth without a net decrease. - Information is more likely to have the desired effect if, on net, it doesn’t lower a person’s self-worth. - Humans attribute our failures to external factors (bad luck), but our success to internal factors (skill). - “Motivated reasoning”: Professional politicians are dogmatic. They disregard your proof of arguments. Even if we demand evidence based policy. - Intransigence (Kompromißlosigkeit) Our openness to information depends on how it affects self-worth - “Backfire effect”: when people are presented with corrective information that runs counter to their ideology, those who most strongly identify with the ideology will intensify their incorrect beliefs. When information presents a greater threat, it’s less likely to have an impact. - Self-imunisation: The upshot of your argument is that he has spent years supporting a set of policies that kill people. And yet he knows there’s no way that could be true because he’s a good person who wants what’s best for the world. So what you’re saying has to be false. It’s not even worth considering. - Strongest arguments are typically utilized: The arguments that are most threatening to opponents are viewed as the strongest and cited most often. Liberals are baby-killers (pro choice) while conservatives won’t let women control their own body (pro life). - Arguments or demonstrations often only have a community building effect on the own party: Each argument is game-set-match for those already partial to it, but too threatening to those who aren’t. political parties the priority is often driving activism rather than changing minds, and thus threatening arguments may be a better choice. - Stay lower than the opponent's thread threshold: Those arguments are objectively weaker, but it’s more likely to be below the threat threshold that leads to automatic rejection. It might actually be considered. Using the weakest points is a type of formal compromising with your opponents personality. That is what drives peaceful politics not creating victims or losers.

Physical and sexual violence were prevalent, with 43% reporting past-month abuse. *Clients* were the primary perpetrators; their violence was severe, compromised women's condom and sexual negotiation, and included forced and coerced anal intercourse. Sex work was a factor in intimate partner violence. *Police abuse* was largely an exploitation of power imbalances for coerced sex. Findings affirm the need to address physical and sexual violence, particularly that perpetrated by clients, as a social determinant of health for women in sex work, as well as a threat to safety and wellbeing, and a contextual barrier to HIV risk reduction. | Health, STI/HIV | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

Rhode Island District Court judge unexpectedly decriminalized indoor prostitution in 2003. This provides us the first causal estimates of the impact of decriminalization on the composition of the sex market, rape offenses, and population sexually transmitted infection outcomes. Not surprisingly, we find that decriminalization increased the size of the indoor market. However, somewhat unexpectedly, we find that decriminalization caused both forcible rape offenses and gonorrhea incidence to decline for the overall population. Our synthetic control model finds 824 fewer reported rape offenses and 1,035 fewer cases of female gonorrhea from 2004 to 2009. The combined benefits of 6 years of decriminalization are estimated to be approximately $200 million. Decriminalization appears to benefit the population at large, especially women|and not just sex workers. | Law | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

It identifies gaps that exist between ‘laws on the books’ and ‘laws on the streets’. Recommendations: greater investments to enhance legal protections for people living with HIV and key populations, such as men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender people and people who use drugs, through strengthened engagement of parliamentarians, judiciary, police, lawyers, national human rights bodies and other key institutions. In support of these actions, donors, including the Global Fund, should promote and allocate greater resources to support government and civil society programming on HIV-related human rights programming.

Advocacy NGOs whose legitimacy and authority depend on their role as representatives of marginalised and disenfranchised populations are in many cases prone to exploit discourses on vulnerability and victimhood in order to fortify their own identity as “advocates”. 2 case studies on prostitution and child labour. The ascription of identities by advocacy NGOs to their beneficiaries is an empirically contested phenomenon. When the allegedly weak and “voiceless” persons whom advocacy NGOs claim to represent start to defend their own interests and publicly contradict the positions advocated on their behalf, conflict between these groups arises. We observe this dynamic particularly concerning the “abolition” of harmful practices, such as child work and prostitution. Child workers and prostitutes contest the way in which they are portrayed by their advocates in public discourse and especially resist the ascription of a “victim” identity. | Global Society, 27:4, 497-520, DOI: 10.1080/13600826.2013.823914 | Community Organizing | English | Global | |||||||||||

Centered largely on street prostitution zones and nations where prostitution is illegal, this literature gives insufficient attention to settings where RLDs consist of a cluster of indoor venues that are legal and regulated by the authorities. Using classic *Chicago School vice districts model* [Walter Reckless 1926] as a point of departure, this article examines the physical structure and social organization of red-light zones in 2 Belgian cities: Antwerp and Brussels. The comparative analysis identifies major differences in the social ecology of the two settings. Differences are explained by the distinctive ways in which each municipal government manages its respective RLD, which are related to the contrasting social backgrounds and political capital of the population residing in the vicinity of each district. Antwerp RLD was reinvented and renovated end of 1990 with public money. It is the antithesis to the traditional vice district as in Brussels. Differences between the 2 settings can be explained largely by the distinctive policies and practices of local officials—reform-oriented intervention, ongoing oversight, management and middle-class gentrification (Antwerp) vs laissez-faire tolerance, disregard and lower-class marginalization (Brussels). List of regulatory measures.

Prostitution in Sweden has been (re)defined according to a *‘radical feminist’ discourse* as a form of gendered violence against women. These constructions have resulted in the *exclusion of sex workers*. *Harm reduction* initiatives are seen to endorse, encourage, and facilitate sex work, and are therefore seen to damage efforts to abolish prostitution. There is no convincing evidence that overall levels of prostitution have declined since 1999. Instead, some sex work has simply been displaced from public space by targeted policing and advances in telecommunications technologies. | Presented at the sex worker open university Sex Workers’ Rights Festival Glasgow, 6 April, 2013 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | |||||||||||

Through the presentation of in-depth interview data with key policy players involved in the making of the TVPA, this article illustrates how and why the TVPA was formulated, the implications of its development, and the necessity for critical analysis of its effects. The use of alternative frameworks of labor and migration for understanding trafficking is proposed. Further consideration is given to legislative changes to eliminate anti-prostitution ideology and to support anti-oppressive approaches to addressing forced or deceptive working conditions. 1998 US religious freedom coalition introduced the International Religious Freedom Act and after the Sudan civil war famine where 70.000 died, they formed an anti-trafficking cause with radical feminists, which then was applied to the migration and prostitution debate (agenda setting, coalition formed by Michael Horowitz, Hudson Institute). | Advances in Social Work, Vol 13, No 2 (2012), 243. | TVPA 2000.

151 | http://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/njlsp/vol8/iss2/5/ | 2012 | The Asylum Claim for Victims of Attempted Trafficking | Karvelis, Kelly | The state of the law regarding refugees in the United States has been characterized in the recent past by inconsistent rulings among the Circuit Courts, and narrow applications of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which provides the basis for asylum eligibility. In the midst of this sometimes-contradictory application of the INA, victims of attempted sex trafficking (those who have faced threats or attempts by sex traffickers to force them into sexual slavery) have consistently been rejected for asylum by U.S. courts. Federal courts have uniformly denied these asylum claims by ruling that these victims do not meet the INA’s requirement that refugees fall into a particular social group. Therefore, this Comment focuses largely on the argument that U.S. courts have interpreted the “social group” provision in an unduly narrow fashion, and that victims of attempted trafficking do indeed satisfy this element of the INA’s test for asylum eligibility. This Comment argues that U.S. courts’ rejections of these asylum claims are inconsistent with the legislative intent behind the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, federal case law that has granted asylum petitions in similar contexts, and the United Nations’ and international interpretations of refugee law. Based on these reasons and public policy concerns, U.S. courts should recognize the valid claims of many of these victims of attempted trafficking, and grant them the asylum that they deserve. | Anti-Trafficking | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

Thomas (City College NY) | This article explores how the efficiency of Internet search is changing the way Americans find romantic partners. We use a new data source, the How Couples Meet and Stay Together survey. Results show that for 60 years, family and grade school have been steadily declining in their influence over the *dating market*. In the past 15 years, the rise of the Internet has partly displaced not only family and school, but also neighborhood, friends, and the workplace as venues for meeting partners. The Internet increasingly allows Americans to meet and form relationships with perfect strangers, that is, people with whom they had no previous social tie. Individuals who face a thin market for potential partners, such as gays, lesbians, and middle-aged heterosexuals, are especially likely to meet partners online. One result of the increasing importance of the Internet in meeting partners is that adults with Internet access at home are substantially more likely to have partners, even after controlling for other factors. Partnership rate has increased during the Internet era (consistent with Internet efficiency of search) for same-sex couples, but the heterosexual partnership rate has been flat. | Technology | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Focus on the discursive strategies that revolve around the UK’s anti-trafficking initiatives. Discourses of human trafficking as prostitution, modern-day slavery and organised crime do important work. Primarily, they provide the government with a moral platform from which it can develop its regulatory capacity overseas. Complex interrelationships exist and while the government’s interest in protecting vulnerable women from sexual exploitation may seem to be paramount.

In particular, the federal, and state and territory governments have yet to take up the opportunity to link anti-trafficking efforts with initiatives aimed at improving the working conditions of workers in the sex industry. We suggest this reflects a common—but unjustified—assumption that “labour trafficking” and “sex trafficking” are distinct and different species of harm. As a result of this distinction, workers in the Australian sex industry —an industry where slavery and trafficking crimes have been detected— are missing out on a suite of potentially effective prevention interventions, and access to civil remedies. We argue that there is a need to provide practical and financial support, so that the national industrial regulator, the Fair Work Ombudsman, can work directly with sex worker advocacy groups, to examine opportunities and barriers to accessing the labour law system, particularly for migrant sex workers. | The Anti-Trafficking Review, Issue 1, 2012, pp.60-79. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Australia | |||||||||||

(in German only: Menschenhandel zum Zweck der Arbeitsausbeutung – ein Thema für Gewerkschaften?) | Pallmann, Ildikó und Anne Pawletta | Human trafficking for forced labor purposes is receiving more and more attention in the public discourse on human trafficking. In this article, we will address a number of questions regarding the work done by trade unions to counteract human trafficking for forced labor purposes, beginning with some thoughts on why unions are active in this field. What examples exist for successful union involvement? And what difficulties might prevent a stronger and more substantial commitment by unions? Many cases of human trafficking occur in sectors with a *low rate of unionization*, or areas like domestic services, which are generally difficult for unions to reach. The gap between unions and the sectors that are especially important is increased by a number of unions clinging to “old” traditional industries. Also, many of the people in question are migratory workers. In this article, we will analyze the innovative approaches used by unions to overcome these difficulties – for instance, by *organizing migratory workers in unions* or union-affiliated associations, and offering low-threshold advice for people who could be potentially affected. | pp. 177 | Community Organizing | German | Germany | |||||||||||

The qualitative data were analyzed using an adapted form of *grounded theory*. It was found that client-perpetrated sexual violence within male sex work appears to be uncommon. However, when sexual violence did occur the cause was a disagreement over barebacking. Escorts’ explanations for the low level of sexual violence within this sector included (1) that gay men were non-confrontational, (2) their clients led clandestine lifestyles avoiding undue attention, and (3) comparatively, female sex workers were perceived to be more vulnerable resulting in the higher level of sexual violence within the female sex work industry. | International Journal of Sexual Health, Volume 23, Issue 1, 2011, pages 63-78. | In MSM sex work more often the client is victim of violence, when a gay4pay escort is freaking out. Typically the sex worker is the physically stronger party. But very young, boyish escorts can experience violence similar known to female sex workers.

200 | http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?paperID=5204 | 2011 | Deadly Inertia: A History of Constitutional Challenges to Canada’s Criminal Code Sections on Prostitution | Lowman, John | This paper examines rhetoric surrounding prostitution law reform in Canada from 1970 to the present. During the 1950s and 1960s, there was very little media or political attention paid to prostitution. It was not until the mid 1970s that perceived problems with prostitution law began to surface, driven by concerns that the criminal code statute prohibiting street prostitution was not enforceable. In 1983 the Liberal government appointed the Special Committee on Pornography and Prostitution to consider options for law and policy reform. However, the Conservative government that received the report in 1985 rejected the sweeping law changes the Special Committee recommended, opting instead to rewrite the street prostitution offence. Since then the murder of somewhere between 200-300 street prostitutes has prompted renewed calls for law reform. The debate on law reform culminated in 2006 with a parliamentary review that saw all four federal political parties agreeing that Canada’s prostitution laws are “unacceptable,” but unable to agree about how to change them. The majority report held that *consenting adult prostitution* should be legal, while the minority report held that it should be prohibited. In 2007 the Standing Committee on the Status of Women recommended that Canada adopt the *Nordic model* of demand-side prohibition. As the deadlock continues, women in the street sex trade continue to be murdered. Faced with this deadly inertia, 2 groups of sex workers have challenged several Criminal Code sections relating to prostitution, arguing that they violate several of their Constitutional rights, including their right to “life, liberty and security of the person”. The paper concludes with an update on the progress of the Charter challenges now before the courts. | Beijing Law Review, 2(2), 33-54. | Law | English | Canada | |||||||||||

The key question addressed in this thesis is whether decriminalisation has minimised the harms experienced by sex workers. Rather than taking a narrow view of harm minimisation and looking merely at the practices of sex workers, I have taken a more holistic stance, taking into account structural social issues which contribute to the health and wellbeing of sex workers. Data were collected through a survey of 772 sex workers. Minimal change in the size of the sex industry is not surprising as the underlying motivations for working in this industry have not changed in a decriminalised environment. As this thesis demonstrates, structural factors (such as economic climate, employment opportunities, welfare, housing and sickness benefits) are associated with the entry into sex work rather than the way the industry is regulated. Theories of social exclusion and stigma are utilised in the thesis to show how sex workers have been cast predominantly as a deviant population, associated with disease, crime and drugs. The media often make use of these associations in reporting on sex workers, which leads to heightened public anxiety and campaigns to exclude sex workers from society. Even in a decriminalised environment in New Zealand, such campaigns continue, which has meant that although decriminalisation has given sex workers in New Zealand human rights, they continue to experience stigmatisation. This thesis found that sex workers have poorer self-reported mental health than the general population of New Zealand and some of this poorer perceived mental health could be due to their ongoing stigmatisation. This is not to say that decriminalisation has not been a success. As this thesis demonstrates, sex workers in New Zealand have more control over their work environment, including their safety and their sexual health, since the passing of the Prostitution Reform Act (2003). The Act has given them legal, employment and occupational health and safety rights which has made it easier to negotiate services and safer sex with clients, has made it easier for managed sex workers to refuse to see certain clients without penalties from management and has improved the relationship between sex workers and police. The fact that sex workers can make use of the law has given them a sense of legitimacy and respectability which was absent under laws that criminalised them. The provision of human rights to sex workers through the decriminalisation of the sex industry has led to the minimisation of harm to New Zealand sex workers. | Politics | English | New Zealand | ||||||||||||

In recent times, sex workers have begun to demand appropriate payment from researchers who need our assistance and have critiqued research that is sloppy or morally biased. Horror stories exist within sex worker communities of lives ruined and discriminatory laws made as a result of outsiders researching and reporting on our activities. Positive research experiences are few and far between, but we are determined to create them by leading our own research and having input into the research projects of others in formative stages. In order to create a more reflexive practice, non-sex worker researchers must better interrogate their own motives for researching sex work, and sex workers must be positioned as active, not passive, voices in research about our work. This paper discusses proven best practice ways of involving sex workers so as to produce better quality research that informs law-making, policy, wellbeing and other regulatory outcomes. The paper is based upon the August 2009 International Sex Worker Think Tank on Research, and parts of this paper were originally presented at the National Centre for HIV Social Research conference at UNSW in April 2010. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Instead there needs to be a shift at the policy, legal and administrative levels to reflect an understanding that the women, men and transgender people engaged in commercial sexual services are engaged in a labour process. From this labour framework, it is then possible to identify instances of forced labour and poor working conditions and enact appropriate remedies and responses while at the same time protecting the rights of sex workers and migrants. | Anti-Trafficking | English | United Kingdom | ||||||||||||

While the majority of women are employed as bartenders or waitresses in tourist areas of Phnom Penh, outside observers tend to erroneously label them as ‘prostitutes’ or ‘broken women’ because of the gift-based nature of the intimate exchanges. Ethnographic evidence demonstrates, however, that they make up a diverse and nuanced group of individuals who engage in relationships more complex than simply ‘sex-for-cash’ exchanges, and often seek marriage and love in addition to material comforts. Though they do not view themselves as ‘prostitutes’, the distinction of the term ‘professional’ is used to emphasize that 1) they do rely on the formation of these relationships as a means of livelihood and their motivations are initially materially-based; 2) they engage in multiple overlapping transactional relationships, usually unbeknownst to their other partners; 3) there is a performance of intimacy, whereby the professed feelings of love and dedication lie somewhere on a continuum between genuine and feigned, and where the term ‘love’ itself carries multiple meanings. The research further reveals not only the stereotypes, contradictions, and structural constraints experienced by these young women, but also their entrepreneurialism, determination and creativity. Despite trauma related to recent political past, sexual violence, stigma, depression and self-harming, they use tools of global feminine youth culture, consumption, linguistic ability, ‘bar girl’ subculture, and interpersonal relationships to make socioeconomic advancements and find enjoyment in their lives. The practice of ‘intimate ethnography’ also illuminates the negotiation of intimacy and friendship between the participants and researcher, as well as the general materiality and exchange of everyday sex and relationships around the globe. | Interview | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-henry-sterry/everything-you-think-you-_b_4086449.html | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Combodia | ||||||||||

This battle will continue to be characterised by a dispute over the legitimacy of prostitution, perpetuating a belief that prostitution is distinct to other forms of labour, and that systems of legalised prostitution are fuelling trafficking in young women and girls. It seems absurd that while the demand for sexual services is maligned and cast as the primary factor fuelling the trafficking in women, the demand for cheap clothes or fruit is rarely viewed as the cause of trafficking in the garment and agricultural industries. Over time, this perspective may change to a point where it is the exploitation of labour, rather than the labour itself, which is condemned in all industries where trafficking occurs. In the short term, we should at least be allowed to expect that policy be informed by reliable evidence, not just ideology. | Law | English | Global | ||||||||||||

(Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Minnesota, now ass. prof. Uni. Delaware) | Feminists’ most important contribution, however, lies in the investigations of the social construction of human trafficking, which highlight the de-structive role that sexist and racist stereotypes play in constructing the category of trafficking victims. ... If the referent object of security is the state, then countertrafficking will focus primarily on border control policies and therefore will consider trafficked persons to be criminals rather than victims. Not only does this further threaten the human rights of trafficking victims, it may also lead to a victim’s re-trafficking upon being deported into the same situation. ... Abolitionists feminists primarily address prostitution, conflating human trafficking with sex trafficking. ... Notions of security that rely on protection reinforce gender hierarchies that, in turn, diminish women’s (and certain men’s) real security. | Security Studies, 18:319–344, 2009 | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||

How do we theorize sex performance? How do we produce new body- and sex-technologies? How do we celebrate critical pleasures? How do we analyze and criticize without censorship? Why affirm the fetish? Why sexualize alienation? How do we intensify the relation between theory and practice? Why is power sexy? Why is the body a victim of capitalist commodification? Why don´t we perform and show sex differently, instead of idealizing a way back to nature? The concept called "post-porn" was invented by erotic photographer Wink van Kempen and made popular by sexwork-activist and performance artist Annie M. Sprinkle. It claimed a new status of sexual representation: Through identifying with critical joy and agancy while deconstructing its hetero/normative and naturalising conditions, Sprinkle made us think of sex as a category open for use and appropriation of queer_feminist counter-pleasures beyond the victimising framework of censorship and taboo. | He decided to pass away Mai 2013.

In 2001, Germany also made an attempt to adopt a similar concept as part of a reformed police registration system for so-called ‘politically motivated offences’, focusing predominantly on right-wing extremist crime. However, hate crime is a category which is open to selective interpretations and subjective judgments and to date there are still large empirical deficiencies regarding the identification and classification processes applied by the German police. High levels of ambiguity, uncertainty and arbitrariness initiate a debate surrounding the validity of official hate crime statistics in Germany and reveal a large potential for conflict when it comes to the definition and registration of xenophobic violence and other forms of hate-motivated crime. In this respect, it seems indispensible to carefully evaluate the implementation of the hate crime concept into Germany’s law enforcement system and to analyze current trends and developments, in order to provide valid data on the qualitative and quantitative nature of hate crime incidents in German society. | Law | English | Germany | ||||||||||||

Once in the UK, one is confronted with similar campaigns but this time of a slightly different message; a campaign such as Blue Blindfolds calls on the general public across the UK to share any suspicions or information on cases of trafficking with the police or the Home Office. During the last decade, anti-trafficking information campaigns have played a prominent part in anti-trafficking policies throughout Europe. They have for the most part been launched in migrants’ counties of origin with the idea of warning migrants about the dangers of irregular migration. Scholars have taken interest in those campaigns and argued that despite the best intentions, those campaigns aim at reducing irregular migration, encourage women to stay at home, promote stereotypes about ‘eastern’ European societies as patriarchal and crime-ridden and of women as naïve victims (Nieuwenhuys and Pécoud, 2007; Sharma, 2003). Feminist scholars have moreover put into question the category of a ‘victim’, critiqued a slippage between ‘illegal immigration’, ‘forced prostitution’, and ‘trafficking’, and argued that these conflations divert attention from the role of the state (O’Connell Davidson, 2006). | Feminist Review, 92(1), pp. 151–156 | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||

Abel and Lisa J. Fitzgerald, Cheryl Bruton | In 2003, New Zealand decriminalised sex work through the enactment of the Prostitution Reform Act. Many opponents to this legislation predicted that there would be increasing numbers of people entering sex work, especially in the street-based sector. The debates within the New Zealand media following the legislation were predominantly moralistic and there were calls for the recriminalisation of the street-based sector. This study estimated the number of sex workers post-decriminalisation in 5 locations in New Zealand: the 3 main cities in which sex work takes place as well as two smaller cities. These estimations were compared to existing estimations prior to and at the time of decriminalisation. The research suggests that the Prostitution Reform Act has had little impact on the number of people working in the sex industry. | Jnl Soc.

Exploring the militarization of public security in Rio de Janeiro during 2003–08 around campaigns to stop the ‘trafficking’ of sex workers. Findings illuminate the intersection of 3 neoliberal governance logics: (1) a moralistic humanitarian-rescue agenda promoted by evangelical populists and police groups; (2) a juridical ‘law and rights’ logic promoted by justice-sector actors and human-rights NGOs; (3) a worker-empowerment logic articulated by the governing Workers’ Party (PT) in alliance with social-justice movements, police reformers, and prostitutes’ rights groups. Gender and race analyses map the antagonisms between these three logics of neoliberal governance, and how their incommensurabilities generate crisis in the arena of security policy. By exploring Brazil’s fraught efforts to attain the status of ‘human security superpower’ through these interventions, the article challenges the view that the reordering of security politics in the global south is inevitably linked to desecularization, disempowerment, and militarization. | Security Dialogue 2009 40: 513 | Politics | English | Brasil | |||||||||||

The study examined sexual risk between these two groups of men, and the significance of the economic exchanges involved in their sexual interactions. Using a Grounded Theory approach, 23 individual interviews and 7 focus groups were analyzed. The results reveal that cultural, economic and gender factors mold sexual and social relations among a group of men who have sex with men in Peru. Compensated sex is part of the behaviors of these men, reflecting a complicated construction of sexuality based on traditional conceptions of gender roles, sexual identity and masculinity. Several factors (e.g. difficulty in negotiating condom use, low self-esteem, low risk perception, alcohol and drug consumption), in the context of compensated sex, play a role in risk-taking for HIV infection. | Sexualities, 11, 3, June, 352-374 | peru,prostitution,queer,sex work,sugardaddy | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Peru | ||||||||||

Median rape fantasy frequency was about four times per year, with 14% of participants reporting that they had rape fantasies at least once a week. Rape fantasies exist on a continuum between erotic and aversive, with 9% completely aversive, 45% completely erotic, and 46% both erotic and aversive. Women who are more erotophilic, open to fantasy, and higher in self-esteem tended to have more frequent and erotic rape fantasies than other women. The major theories that have been proposed to explain why women have rape fantasies were tested. Results indicated that sexual blame avoidance and ovulation theories were not supported.

But we believe it is necessary to tread the line of challenging motherhood and apple pie while not endorsing slavery, because the *moral panic* over trafficking is diverting attention from the structural causes of the abuse of migrant workers. Concern becomes focused on the evil wrongdoers rather than more systemic factors.

This is notwithstanding global evidence of the multiple harms faced by this population, including high rates of violence and poverty, and enhanced vulnerabilities to HIV transmission among women who smoke or inject drugs. In response, a participatory-action research project was developed in partnership with a local sex work agency to examine the HIV-related vulnerabilities, barriers to accessing care, and impact of current prevention and harm reduction strategies among women in survival sex work. This paper provides a brief background of the health and drug-related harms among substance-using women in survival sex work, and outlines the development and methodology of a community-based HIV prevention research project partnership. In doing so, we discuss some of the strengths and challenges of community-based HIV prevention research, as well as some key ethical considerations, in the context of street-level sex work in an urban setting. | Harm reduction journal, 4, January, 20 | Health, STI/HIV | English | Canada | |||||||||||

The market is clearly highly racialized. How can immigration status make it easier not only to recruit domestic workers, but also to retain them as additional means of control? ‘Foreignness’ may also make the management of the employment relation easier with employers anxious to discover a coincidence of interest with the worker. Employers are not only looking for generic ‘foreignness’ however, but typically also seek particular nationalities or ethnicities of worker, which can raise difficulties for agencies who are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of ‘race’. ... The immigration status of ‘au pair’ can function as a means, that the migrant is seen not as a worker at all. This can help nationals employers imagine private work as an opportunity rather than drudgery, and themselves as benefactors as well as employers. | European Journal of Women’s Studies, Vol. 14(3): 247–264 | Racism and precarious migration status as means to establish distinction profits by locals. | www.compas.ox.ac.United Kingdom | Migration | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||

In Paris in 2003 a street prohibition was introduced, against both clients and soliciting persons; in Stockholm in 1999 buyers of sexual services have been criminalized, in Amsterdam in 2000 prostitution has been configured as a trade but only to Dutch or E.U. citizens. In Madrid from 1995 to 2003 there has been a period of depenalization of organizing prostitution indoors, preceded and followed by a de facto tolerance towards the “cludes de alterne” and the other venues where prostitution takes place. All these cities have problems similar to those of Italian cities where foreign women migrating from impoverished countries have come to offer sex in the streets, with the social stigma and rejection that encountered their arrival in public spaces. Worries about the “trafficking of human beings” has also been a major component of law changes that in these countries have been proposed and approved. The research presented in the volume shows how the different policies converge towards common practices: waves of anti-foreign women repression, subsequent re-organization (in worse conditions) of street prostitution, difficulties in making contact with victims of trafficking, de facto tolerance. | Politics | English | Europe | ||||||||||||

This paper brings together extensive qualitative fieldwork from two cities in the UK to unpack the intricacies in relation to violence and safety for indoor workers. Firstly, we document the types of violence women experience in indoor venues noting how the vulnerabilities surrounding work-based hazards are dependent on the environment in which sex is sold. Secondly, we highlight the protection strategies that indoor workers and management develop to maintain safety and order in the establishment. Thirdly, we use these empirical findings to suggest that violence should be a high priority on the policy agenda. Here we contend that the organizational and cultural conditions that seem to offer some protection from violence in indoor settings could be useful for informing the management of street sex work. Finally, drawing on the crime prevention literature, we argue that it is possible to go a considerable way to designing out vulnerability in sex work, but not only through physical and organizational change but building in *respect* for sex workers rights by developing policies that promote the employment/human rights and citizenship for sex workers. This argument is made in light of the Coordinated Prostitution Strategy. | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||||||

Foregrounding the current legality of prostitution in Canada, as well as the growing number of serial kidnap and murder cases involving sex workers nationwide, the project brings together two broader cultural debates regarding the moral and cultural legitimacy of prostitution, and the growing socioeconomic “disposability” of the poor and other culturally marginalized populations in an emergent global order. The project thus explores how contemporary Canadian culture registers the changing role of the human/e and of the urban under global capitalism. Considering current responses to the disappearance of 68 women—many of whom were street sex workers—from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Chapter 1 argues that sex workers’ traditional synecdochic relationship with the modern metropolis has become, in contemporary contexts, dangerously fraught. The gradual disintegration of such synecdoche, I argue, signifies the ongoing dissolution of *socio-political ties between the nation-state and its citizenry*. Chapter 2 considers two imagistic tropes in sex work-related media reports, then analyzes urban anti-prostitution initiatives growing out of the Vancouver case and others. I argue that such tropes and actions further reify emerging discourses of street sex workers as cultural “waste.” Chapter 3 examines sex worker activists’ interventions in such mainstream narrations. I discuss the political initiatives promoted on the websites of three major activist organizations, and explore the ways that online activism simultaneously expands and limits the cultural influence of these groups. Noting the over-representation of *First Nations women* among the victims in the Vancouver case and others, Chapter 4 examines intersections between and resistance to Canada’s violent colonial history, racist public policies, and whore stigma in contemporary culture as they converge around Aboriginal women in Canada’s inner-city sex trade. | English | Canada | |||||||||||||

There are few documented examples of early impacts of this policy reversal on USAID-funded programmes already working with sex worker communities.

Chacó | In order to understand why the TVPA from 2001 has fallen short of its goals, the Act must be analyzed in the context of its legal antecedents: the labor, immigration and sex trafficking laws that existed prior to the TVPA and that form the bulk of the Act’s substantive provisions. This article demonstrates that long before the TVPA was enacted, legal and policy decisions were made in each of these three areas that continue to exacerbate the domestic manifestations of problem of human trafficking and the related exploitation of undocumented migrant workers. Unfortunately, Congress did not systematically revisit these laws when passing the TVPA. In fact, the TVPA incorporates many provisions of these laws with only minor changes, and fails to address many of the *perverse structural incentives* that the laws create. (1) Border interdiction strategies, (2) restrictive and punitive immigration policies and (3) insufficient labor protection for migrants interact in ways that leave exploited workers in the United States at the mercy of traffickers and abusive employers, notwithstanding the TVPA. Furthermore, the narrow understanding of trafficking that dominates domestic TVPA enforcement efforts has created (4) an over-emphasis on anti-prostitution efforts to (2) the exclusion of broader issues of worker exploitation, and has also resulted in (5) racially biased understanding and enforcement of anti-trafficking laws within the United States. Unfortunately, some of the worst impulses of U.S. anti-trafficking strategies have also been incorporated into the U.S. government’s international anti-trafficking strategies. In short, as currently enforced, the TVPA exacerbates many of the negative effects of pre-existing laws, even as it alleviates some of the political pressure to address human exploitation. | Fordham Law Review, Vol. 74, p. 2977, May 2006; UC Davis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 79; UC Irvine School of Law Research Paper No. 2009-31. | Anti-Trafficking | English | U.S.A. | |||||||||||

Women in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES) are highly marginalized and struggle with multiple morbidities, unstable housing, addiction, survival sex, and elevated risk of sexual and drug-related harms, including HIV infection. Although recent studies have identified the heightened risk of HIV infection among women engaged in sex work and injection drug use, the uptake of HIV care among this population has received little attention. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the needs of women engaged in survival sex work and to assess utilization and acceptance of HAART. During November 2003, a baseline needs assessment was conducted among 159 women through a low-threshold drop-in centre servicing street-level sex workers in Vancouver. Cross-sectional data were used to describe the sociodemographic characteristics, drug use patterns, HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing and status, and attitudes towards HAART. High rates of cocaine injection, heroin injection, and smokeable crack cocaine use reflect the vulnerable and chaotic nature of this population. Although preliminary findings suggest an overall high uptake of health and social services, there was limited attention to HIV care with only 9\% of the women on HAART. Self-reported barriers to accessing treatment were largely attributed to misinformation and misconceptions about treatment. Given the acceptability of accessing HAART through community interventions and women specific services, this study highlights the potential to reach this highly marginalized group and provides valuable baseline information on a population that has remained largely outside consistent HIV care. | Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 82, 3, September, 488--97, | Adult,Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active,Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active: utilization,Canada,Canada: epidemiology,Community Health Services,Community Health Services: supply distribution,Community Health Services: utilization,Female,HIV Infections,HIV Infections: epidemiology,HIV Infections: therapy,Health Services Accessibility,Hepatitis C,Hepatitis C: epidemiology,Humans,Middle Aged,Poverty Areas,Prostitution,Substance-Related Disorders,Substance-Related Disorders: epidemiology,Urban Population | Health, STI/HIV | English | Canada | ||||||||||

A means for economic survival and access to dollars-only places, such as restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, and stores. Despite 40 years of gender equity laws and a highly-educated population, sex work in Cuba has come full circle, and the nation is quickly gaining the reputation, “the Thailand of the Caribbean.” 38 interviews with sex workers, locally known as jineteras. Salient power relations involved in creating and maintaining sex work spaces. Sex work in Havana is not merely a side note to the economic crisis of the 1990s. Rather, sex work affects many sectors of the dollars-only economy in Havana; it highlights race and class issues that many people think have been eradicated by Revolutionary ideology; and it shows how women’s bodies, and not just sex workers’ bodies, have been commodified for personal, and even national, economic gain. | Economics | English | Cuba | ||||||||||||

Too often in this area, the canons of scientific inquiry are suspended and research deliberately skewed to serve a particular political agenda. Much of this work has been done by writers who regard the sex industry as a despicable institution and who are active in campaigns to abolish it. In this commentary, I examine several theoretical and methodological flaws in this literature, both generally and with regard to three recent articles in Violence Against Women. The articles in question are by Jody Raphael and Deborah Shapiro (2004), Melissa Farley (2004), and Janice Raymond (2004). At least two of the authors (Farley and Raymond) are activists involved in the antiprostitution campaign. | VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN, Vol. 11 No. 7, July 2005 934-949 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | |||||||||||

Vohs | A heterosexual community can be analyzed as a marketplace in which men seek to acquire sex from women by offering other resources in exchange. Societies will therefore define gender roles as if women are sellers and men buyers of sex. *Societies will endow female sexuality*, but not male sexuality, with value (as in virginity, fidelity, chastity). The sexual activities of different couples are loosely interrelated by a marketplace, instead of being fully separate or private, and each couple’s decisions may be influenced by market conditions. Economic principles suggest that the price of sex will depend on supply and demand, competition among sellers, variations in product, collusion among sellers, and other factors. Research findings show *gender asymmetries* (reflecting the complementary economic roles) in prostitution, courtship, infidelity and divorce, female competition, the sexual revolution and changing norms, unequal status between partners, cultural suppression of female sexuality, abusive relationships, rape, and sexual attitudes. | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15582858 | Economics | English | Global | |||||||||||

Expands on the work of Leopoldina Fortunati (The Arcane of Reproduction - Housework, Prostitution, Labor and Capital 1955). In it, she argues against Karl Marx's claim that primitive accumulation is a necessary precursor for capitalism. Instead, she posits that *primitive accumulation* is a fundamental characteristic of capitalism itself—that capitalism, in order to perpetuate itself, requires a constant infusion of *expropriated capital*. Historical struggle for the commons and the struggle for communalism. Instead of seeing capitalism as a liberatory defeat of feudalism, Federici interprets the ascent of capitalism as a reactionary move to subvert the rising tide of communalism and to retain the basic social contract. She situates the institutionalization of rape and prostitution, as well as the heretic and witch-hunt trials, burnings, and torture at the center of a *methodical subjugation of women and appropriation of their labor*. This is tied into *colonial expropriation* and provides a framework for understanding the work of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and other *proxy institutions* as engaging in a renewed cycle of primitive accumulation, by which everything held in common—from water, to seeds, to our genetic code—becomes *privatized* in what amounts to a new round of *enclosures*. | Autonomedia, Brooklyn, NY, Edition 2009 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvia_Federici | Economics | English | Global | ||||||||||

I discuss how calls to “end trafficking, especially in women and children” are influenced by – and go on to legitimate – governmental practices to criminalize the self-willed migration of people moving without official permission. I discuss how the ideological frame of anti-trafficking works to reinforce restrictive immigration practices, shore up a nationalized consciousness of space and home, and criminalize those rendered illegal within national territories. Anti-trafficking campaigns also fail to take into account migrants’ limited agency in the migration process. I provide alternative routes to anti-trafficking campaigns by arguing for an analytical framework in which the related worldwide crises of displacement and migration are foregrounded. I argue that by centering the standpoint of undocumented migrants a more transformative politics emerges, one that demands that people be able to “stay” and to “move” in a self-determined manner. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Prostitutes’ dependence on alliance supporters characterises sex worker social movements to be heteronomous mobilizations. 4 obstacles of mobilisation and self-organisation: (1) law, (2) poor social background, (3) taboo, stigma and exclusion, (4) archaic competitive unprotected sex market competition with no social security available.

I will argue against the political efficacy of seeing rape as the fixed reality of women's lives, against an identity politics which defines women by our violability, and for a shift of scene from rape and its aftermath to rape situations themselves and to rape prevention. Many current theories of rape present rape as an inevitable material fact of life and assume that a rapist's ability to physically overcome his target is the foundation of rape. Such a view takes *violence as a self-explanatory first cause* and endows it with an invulnerable and terrifying facticity which *stymies our ability to challenge and demystify rape*. | in: Butler, Judith: "Feminists Theorize the Political", Routledge, New York 2002. | Criminology, Feminism | English | Global | |||||||||||

In order to address this gender imbalance some feminists have advocated the enforcement and/or strengthening of kerb crawling legislation and other schemes that *target men* who pay for sex. During 1998–9 one initiative, which aimed to target men who pay for sex in the UK, the Kerb Crawler Rehabilitation Programme (KCRP), was piloted in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Although the KCRP received considerable media coverage there has been relatively little critical debate among feminists about this approach to working with clients of sex workers. This article draws attention to some of the opposition to the Leeds KCRP. | Feminist Review No. 67, Sex Work Reassessed (Spring, 2001), pp. 94-108 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||||

Sussex, Brighton) | Narratives on “white slavery” and their re-emergence in the moral panics and boundary crises. The narratives of innocent, virginal victims purveyed in the “trafficking in women” discourse are a modern version of the myth of “white slavery.” These narratives, the article argues, reflect persisting anxieties about female sexuality and women’s autonomy. Racialised representations of the migrant “Other” as helpless, child-like, victims strips sex workers of their agency. The article argues that while the myth of “trafficking in women”/”white slavery” is ostensibly about protecting women, the underlying moral concern is with the control of “loose women.” Through the denial of migrant sex workers’ agency, these discourses serve to reinforce notions of female dependence and purity that serve to further marginalise sex workers and undermine their human rights. | International Studies Convention, Washington, DC, February 16 - 20, 1999, Gender Issues, Vol. 18, no. 1, Winter 2000, pp. 23-50. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||

Merciless Moloch of capitalism that fattens on underpaid labor. Woman treated according to the merit of her work, but rather as a sex. The economic and social inferiority of woman is responsible for prostitution. The servant girl, being treated as a drudge [Arbeitssklave], never having the right to herself, and worn out by the caprices of her mistress, can find an outlet, like the factory or shopgirl, only in prostitution. Prostitution is of religious origin. Trinity Church (Wall Street NYC). Prostitution was organized into guilds, presided over by a brothel queen. These guilds employed strikes as a medium of improving their condition and keeping a standard price. Moral spasms. To the moralist prostitution does not consist so much in the fact that the woman sells her body, but rather that she sells it out of wedlock. But as thousands of girls cannot marry, our stupid social customs condemn them either to a life of celibacy or prostitution. Society creates the victims that it afterwards vainly attempts to get rid of. Havelock Ellis quotes.

We need to understand the politics behind sexuality, sexual rights and sex work because the liberation of all women, the equitable distribution of power and resources, and the ability to control our own bodies are indeed critical to our feminist agenda. This breakthrough work is in line with AMwA’s core mandates of creating space for African Women to SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. | Community Organizing | English | Africa | ||||||||||||

4 | Africa | http://www.globalizationandhealth.com/content/pdf/1744-8603-9-33.pdf | 2013 | Human rights abuses and collective resilience among sex workers in four African countries: a qualitative study | Scorgie, Fiona and Katie Vasey, Eric Harper, Marlise Richter, Prince Nare, Sian Maseko, Matthew F Chersich | Experiences of unlawful arrests and detention, violence, extortion, vilification and exclusions presents a picture of profound exploitation and repeated human rights violations. This situation has had an extreme impact on the physical, mental and social wellbeing of this population. Overall, the article details the multiple effects of sex work criminalisation on the everyday lives of sex workers and on their social interactions and relationships. Underlying their stories, however, are narratives of resilience and resistance. Sex workers in our study draw on their own individual survival strategies and informal forms of support and very occasionally opt to seek recourse through formal channels. They generally recognize the benefits of *unified actions* in assisting them to counter risks in their environment and mobilise against human rights violations, but note how the fluctuant and stigmatised nature of their profession often undermines collective action. Conclusions: While criminal laws urgently need reform, supporting sex work self-organisation and community-building are key interim strategies for safeguarding sex workers’ human rights and improving health outcomes in these communities. If developed at sufficient scale and intensity, sex work organisations could play a critical role in reducing the present harms caused by criminalisation and stigma. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Africa | ||||||||||||

It identifies gaps that exist between ‘laws on the books’ and ‘laws on the streets’. Recommendations: greater investments to enhance legal protections for people living with HIV and key populations, such as men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender people and people who use drugs, through strengthened engagement of parliamentarians, judiciary, police, lawyers, national human rights bodies and other key institutions. In support of these actions, donors, including the Global Fund, should promote and allocate greater resources to support government and civil society programming on HIV-related human rights programming. Additionally, national HIV strategies and plans should include specific targeted actions for the legal sector, including law reform, provision of legal aid services and education of people living with HIV, lawyers and the judiciary on HIV-related rights issues. | Law | English | Asia | ||||||||||||

In particular, the federal, and state and territory governments have yet to take up the opportunity to link anti-trafficking efforts with initiatives aimed at improving the working conditions of workers in the sex industry. We suggest this reflects a common—but unjustified—assumption that “labour trafficking” and “sex trafficking” are distinct and different species of harm. As a result of this distinction, workers in the Australian sex industry —an industry where slavery and trafficking crimes have been detected— are missing out on a suite of potentially effective prevention interventions, and access to civil remedies. We argue that there is a need to provide practical and financial support, so that the national industrial regulator, the Fair Work Ombudsman, can work directly with sex worker advocacy groups, to examine opportunities and barriers to accessing the labour law system, particularly for migrant sex workers. | The Anti-Trafficking Review, Issue 1, 2012, pp.60-79. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Australia | |||||||||||

Licensing of sex work (‘legalisation’) should not be regarded as a viable legislative response. ... For over a century systems that require licensing of sex workers or brothels have consistently failed – most jurisdictions that once had licensing systems have abandoned them. ... As most sex workers remain unlicensed criminal codes remain in force, leaving the potential for police corruption. ... Licensing systems are expensive and difficult to administer, and they always generate an unlicensed underclass. That underclass is wary of and avoids surveillance systems and public health services. Licensing is a threat to public health. [no 2, p 7] ... For health and safety reasons and in order to meet best practice in a decriminalised environment the word ‘brothel’ as defined in the legislation, should not apply when up to 4 private sex workers work cooperatively from private premises [Freiberufliche Wohnungsprostitution/Kooperative]. ... All of the evidence indicates that private sex workers have no effect on public amenity [Schönheit des Wohnumfeldes]. Exempting this group from planning laws that pertain to brothels will limit the potential for local government corruption. | outdated original link www.med.unsw.edu.au/nchecrweb.nsf/resources/SHPReport//NSWSexIndustryReportV4.pdf | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Australia, NSW | |||||||||||

Exploring the militarization of public security in Rio de Janeiro during 2003–08 around campaigns to stop the ‘trafficking’ of sex workers. Findings illuminate the intersection of 3 neoliberal governance logics: (1) a moralistic humanitarian-rescue agenda promoted by evangelical populists and police groups; (2) a juridical ‘law and rights’ logic promoted by justice-sector actors and human-rights NGOs; (3) a worker-empowerment logic articulated by the governing Workers’ Party (PT) in alliance with social-justice movements, police reformers, and prostitutes’ rights groups. Gender and race analyses map the antagonisms between these three logics of neoliberal governance, and how their incommensurabilities generate crisis in the arena of security policy. By exploring Brazil’s fraught efforts to attain the status of ‘human security superpower’ through these interventions, the article challenges the view that the reordering of security politics in the global south is inevitably linked to desecularization, disempowerment, and militarization. | Security Dialogue 2009 40: 513 | Politics | English | Brasil | |||||||||||

This is notwithstanding global evidence of the multiple harms faced by this population, including high rates of violence and poverty, and enhanced vulnerabilities to HIV transmission among women who smoke or inject drugs. In response, a participatory-action research project was developed in partnership with a local sex work agency to examine the HIV-related vulnerabilities, barriers to accessing care, and impact of current prevention and harm reduction strategies among women in survival sex work. This paper provides a brief background of the health and drug-related harms among substance-using women in survival sex work, and outlines the development and methodology of a community-based HIV prevention research project partnership. In doing so, we discuss some of the strengths and challenges of community-based HIV prevention research, as well as some key ethical considerations, in the context of street-level sex work in an urban setting. | Harm reduction journal, 4, January, 20 | Health, STI/HIV | English | Canada | |||||||||||

Women in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES) are highly marginalized and struggle with multiple morbidities, unstable housing, addiction, survival sex, and elevated risk of sexual and drug-related harms, including HIV infection. Although recent studies have identified the heightened risk of HIV infection among women engaged in sex work and injection drug use, the uptake of HIV care among this population has received little attention. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the needs of women engaged in survival sex work and to assess utilization and acceptance of HAART. During November 2003, a baseline needs assessment was conducted among 159 women through a low-threshold drop-in centre servicing street-level sex workers in Vancouver. Cross-sectional data were used to describe the sociodemographic characteristics, drug use patterns, HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing and status, and attitudes towards HAART. High rates of cocaine injection, heroin injection, and smokeable crack cocaine use reflect the vulnerable and chaotic nature of this population. Although preliminary findings suggest an overall high uptake of health and social services, there was limited attention to HIV care with only 9\% of the women on HAART. Self-reported barriers to accessing treatment were largely attributed to misinformation and misconceptions about treatment. Given the acceptability of accessing HAART through community interventions and women specific services, this study highlights the potential to reach this highly marginalized group and provides valuable baseline information on a population that has remained largely outside consistent HIV care. | Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 82, 3, September, 488--97, | Adult,Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active,Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active: utilization,Canada,Canada: epidemiology,Community Health Services,Community Health Services: supply distribution,Community Health Services: utilization,Female,HIV Infections,HIV Infections: epidemiology,HIV Infections: therapy,Health Services Accessibility,Hepatitis C,Hepatitis C: epidemiology,Humans,Middle Aged,Poverty Areas,Prostitution,Substance-Related Disorders,Substance-Related Disorders: epidemiology,Urban Population | Health, STI/HIV | English | Canada | ||||||||||

In particular, the article examines how the “discourse of disposal”—that is, media descriptions of the ongoing attempts of politicians, police, and residents’ groups to get rid of street prostitution from residential areas—contributed to a sharp increase in murders of street prostitutes in British Columbia after 1980 (average 12 sex worker murders per year in Canada). | Violence Against Women (2000), 6(9), 987-1011 | Law | English | Canada | |||||||||||
43 | Canada | http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?paperID=5204 | 2011 | Deadly Inertia: A History of Constitutional Challenges to Canada’s Criminal Code Sections on Prostitution | Lowman, John | This paper examines rhetoric surrounding prostitution law reform in Canada from 1970 to the present. During the 1950s and 1960s, there was very little media or political attention paid to prostitution. It was not until the mid 1970s that perceived problems with prostitution law began to surface, driven by concerns that the criminal code statute prohibiting street prostitution was not enforceable. In 1983 the Liberal government appointed the Special Committee on Pornography and Prostitution to consider options for law and policy reform. However, the Conservative government that received the report in 1985 rejected the sweeping law changes the Special Committee recommended, opting instead to rewrite the street prostitution offence. Since then the murder of somewhere between 200-300 street prostitutes has prompted renewed calls for law reform. The debate on law reform culminated in 2006 with a parliamentary review that saw all four federal political parties agreeing that Canada’s prostitution laws are “unacceptable,” but unable to agree about how to change them. The majority report held that *consenting adult prostitution* should be legal, while the minority report held that it should be prohibited. In 2007 the Standing Committee on the Status of Women recommended that Canada adopt the *Nordic model* of demand-side prohibition. As the deadlock continues, women in the street sex trade continue to be murdered. Faced with this deadly inertia, 2 groups of sex workers have challenged several Criminal Code sections relating to prostitution, arguing that they violate several of their Constitutional rights, including their right to “life, liberty and security of the person”. The paper concludes with an update on the progress of the Charter challenges now before the courts. | Beijing Law Review, 2(2), 33-54. | Law | English | Canada | |||||||||||

Foregrounding the current legality of prostitution in Canada, as well as the growing number of serial kidnap and murder cases involving sex workers nationwide, the project brings together two broader cultural debates regarding the moral and cultural legitimacy of prostitution, and the growing socioeconomic “disposability” of the poor and other culturally marginalized populations in an emergent global order. The project thus explores how contemporary Canadian culture registers the changing role of the human/e and of the urban under global capitalism. Considering current responses to the disappearance of 68 women—many of whom were street sex workers—from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Chapter 1 argues that sex workers’ traditional synecdochic relationship with the modern metropolis has become, in contemporary contexts, dangerously fraught. The gradual disintegration of such synecdoche, I argue, signifies the ongoing dissolution of *socio-political ties between the nation-state and its citizenry*. Chapter 2 considers two imagistic tropes in sex work-related media reports, then analyzes urban anti-prostitution initiatives growing out of the Vancouver case and others. I argue that such tropes and actions further reify emerging discourses of street sex workers as cultural “waste.” Chapter 3 examines sex worker activists’ interventions in such mainstream narrations. I discuss the political initiatives promoted on the websites of three major activist organizations, and explore the ways that online activism simultaneously expands and limits the cultural influence of these groups. Noting the over-representation of *First Nations women* among the victims in the Vancouver case and others, Chapter 4 examines intersections between and resistance to Canada’s violent colonial history, racist public policies, and whore stigma in contemporary culture as they converge around Aboriginal women in Canada’s inner-city sex trade. | English | Canada | |||||||||||||

While the majority of women are employed as bartenders or waitresses in tourist areas of Phnom Penh, outside observers tend to erroneously label them as ‘prostitutes’ or ‘broken women’ because of the gift-based nature of the intimate exchanges. Ethnographic evidence demonstrates, however, that they make up a diverse and nuanced group of individuals who engage in relationships more complex than simply ‘sex-for-cash’ exchanges, and often seek marriage and love in addition to material comforts. Though they do not view themselves as ‘prostitutes’, the distinction of the term ‘professional’ is used to emphasize that 1) they do rely on the formation of these relationships as a means of livelihood and their motivations are initially materially-based; 2) they engage in multiple overlapping transactional relationships, usually unbeknownst to their other partners; 3) there is a performance of intimacy, whereby the professed feelings of love and dedication lie somewhere on a continuum between genuine and feigned, and where the term ‘love’ itself carries multiple meanings. The research further reveals not only the stereotypes, contradictions, and structural constraints experienced by these young women, but also their entrepreneurialism, determination and creativity. Despite trauma related to recent political past, sexual violence, stigma, depression and self-harming, they use tools of global feminine youth culture, consumption, linguistic ability, ‘bar girl’ subculture, and interpersonal relationships to make socioeconomic advancements and find enjoyment in their lives. The practice of ‘intimate ethnography’ also illuminates the negotiation of intimacy and friendship between the participants and researcher, as well as the general materiality and exchange of everyday sex and relationships around the globe. | Interview | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-henry-sterry/everything-you-think-you-_b_4086449.html | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Combodia | ||||||||||

Rather, sex work affects many sectors of the dollars-only economy in Havana; it highlights race and class issues that many people think have been eradicated by Revolutionary ideology; and it shows how women’s bodies, and not just sex workers’ bodies, have been commodified for personal, and even national, economic gain. | Economics | English | Cuba | ||||||||||||

In Paris in 2003 a street prohibition was introduced, against both clients and soliciting persons; in Stockholm in 1999 buyers of sexual services have been criminalized, in Amsterdam in 2000 prostitution has been configured as a trade but only to Dutch or E.U. citizens. In Madrid from 1995 to 2003 there has been a period of depenalization of organizing prostitution indoors, preceded and followed by a de facto tolerance towards the “cludes de alterne” and the other venues where prostitution takes place. All these cities have problems similar to those of Italian cities where foreign women migrating from impoverished countries have come to offer sex in the streets, with the social stigma and rejection that encountered their arrival in public spaces. Worries about the “trafficking of human beings” has also been a major component of law changes that in these countries have been proposed and approved. The research presented in the volume shows how the different policies converge towards common practices: waves of anti-foreign women repression, subsequent re-organization (in worse conditions) of street prostitution, difficulties in making contact with victims of trafficking, de facto tolerance. | Politics | English | Europe | ||||||||||||

Centered largely on street prostitution zones and nations where prostitution is illegal, this literature gives insufficient attention to settings where RLDs consist of a cluster of indoor venues that are legal and regulated by the authorities. Using classic *Chicago School vice districts model* [Walter Reckless 1926] as a point of departure, this article examines the physical structure and social organization of red-light zones in 2 Belgian cities: Antwerp and Brussels. The comparative analysis identifies major differences in the social ecology of the two settings. Differences are explained by the distinctive ways in which each municipal government manages its respective RLD, which are related to the contrasting social backgrounds and political capital of the population residing in the vicinity of each district. Antwerp RLD was reinvented and renovated end of 1990 with public money. It is the antithesis to the traditional vice district as in Brussels. Differences between the 2 settings can be explained largely by the distinctive policies and practices of local officials—reform-oriented intervention, ongoing oversight, management and middle-class gentrification (Antwerp) vs laissez-faire tolerance, disregard and lower-class marginalization (Brussels). List of regulatory measures. Dutch cities' RLD in Alkmaar, Eindhoven, Groningen, Haarlem, The Hague, and Utrecht are similar to Antwerp. | Urban Affairs Review (Published online before print October 9, 2013) | First paper with colour photos. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Europe | ||||||||||

In 2001, Germany also made an attempt to adopt a similar concept as part of a reformed police registration system for so-called ‘politically motivated offences’, focusing predominantly on right-wing extremist crime. However, hate crime is a category which is open to selective interpretations and subjective judgments and to date there are still large empirical deficiencies regarding the identification and classification processes applied by the German police. High levels of ambiguity, uncertainty and arbitrariness initiate a debate surrounding the validity of official hate crime statistics in Germany and reveal a large potential for conflict when it comes to the definition and registration of xenophobic violence and other forms of hate-motivated crime. In this respect, it seems indispensible to carefully evaluate the implementation of the hate crime concept into Germany’s law enforcement system and to analyze current trends and developments, in order to provide valid data on the qualitative and quantitative nature of hate crime incidents in German society. | Law | English | Germany | ||||||||||||

(in German only: Menschenhandel zum Zweck der Arbeitsausbeutung – ein Thema für Gewerkschaften?) | Pallmann, Ildikó und Anne Pawletta | Human trafficking for forced labor purposes is receiving more and more attention in the public discourse on human trafficking. In this article, we will address a number of questions regarding the work done by trade unions to counteract human trafficking for forced labor purposes, beginning with some thoughts on why unions are active in this field. What examples exist for successful union involvement? And what difficulties might prevent a stronger and more substantial commitment by unions? Many cases of human trafficking occur in sectors with a *low rate of unionization*, or areas like domestic services, which are generally difficult for unions to reach. The gap between unions and the sectors that are especially important is increased by a number of unions clinging to “old” traditional industries. Also, many of the people in question are migratory workers. In this article, we will analyze the innovative approaches used by unions to overcome these difficulties – for instance, by *organizing migratory workers in unions* or union-affiliated associations, and offering low-threshold advice for people who could be potentially affected. | pp. 177 | Community Organizing | German | Germany | |||||||||||

In May 2003, the Global AIDS Act was passed and prohibits allocation of US government funds to organizations that 'promote or advocate' legalization and practice of prostitution and sex trafficking. There are few documented examples of early impacts of this policy reversal on USAID-funded programmes already working with sex worker communities.

Merciless Moloch of capitalism that fattens on underpaid labor. Woman treated according to the merit of her work, but rather as a sex. The economic and social inferiority of woman is responsible for prostitution. The servant girl, being treated as a drudge [Arbeitssklave], never having the right to herself, and worn out by the caprices of her mistress, can find an outlet, like the factory or shopgirl, only in prostitution. Prostitution is of religious origin. Trinity Church (Wall Street NYC). Prostitution was organized into guilds, presided over by a brothel queen. These guilds employed strikes as a medium of improving their condition and keeping a standard price. Moral spasms. To the moralist prostitution does not consist so much in the fact that the woman sells her body, but rather that she sells it out of wedlock. But as thousands of girls cannot marry, our stupid social customs condemn them either to a life of celibacy or prostitution.

Legalization has failed to yield the type of advances for strippers envisioned by the regulation hypothesis. Because courts and employers treat work in the commercial sex industry as unworthy of protection, labor laws largely exclude stripping from those legal definitions of “employment” providing for labor organizing and wage, hour and anti-discrimination protections. Moreover, local governments deploy regulatory law to eliminate or significantly constrict the presence of strip clubs in their communities. These legal measures, such as zoning ordinances and nudity bans, have only tightened the labor market for strippers, thereby increasing strippers’ vulnerability to employer abuses. | Law | English | Global | ||||||||||||

The re-emergence of the myth of 'white slavery' in contemporary discourses of 'trafficking in women' | Doezema, Jo (Institut Dev. Studies, Univ. Sussex, Brighton) | Narratives on “white slavery” and their re-emergence in the moral panics and boundary crises. The narratives of innocent, virginal victims purveyed in the “trafficking in women” discourse are a modern version of the myth of “white slavery.” These narratives, the article argues, reflect persisting anxieties about female sexuality and women’s autonomy. Racialised representations of the migrant “Other” as helpless, child-like, victims strips sex workers of their agency. The article argues that while the myth of “trafficking in women”/”white slavery” is ostensibly about protecting women, the underlying moral concern is with the control of “loose women.” Through the denial of migrant sex workers’ agency, these discourses serve to reinforce notions of female dependence and purity that serve to further marginalise sex workers and undermine their human rights. | International Studies Convention, Washington, DC, February 16 - 20, 1999, Gender Issues, Vol. 18, no. 1, Winter 2000, pp. 23-50. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||

Rape fantasies exist on a continuum between erotic and aversive, with 9% completely aversive, 45% completely erotic, and 46% both erotic and aversive. Women who are more erotophilic, open to fantasy, and higher in self-esteem tended to have more frequent and erotic rape fantasies than other women. The major theories that have been proposed to explain why women have rape fantasies were tested. Results indicated that sexual blame avoidance and ovulation theories were not supported.

Bangkok. | We particularly welcome the distinction made by the UN Special Rapporteur between •the sex work sector and •exploitative labour practices within the sex work sector. Anti-trafficking discussions on demand have historically been stymied by anti-prostitution efforts to eradicate the sex work sector by criminalising clients, despite protests from sex workers rights groups and growing evidence that such approaches do not work. We would urge the Special Rapporteur also to recognise the work of sex workers rights groups in addressing demand. These have included •efforts to reduce the demand for unprotected paid sex •increasing awareness about sex workers’ rights among clients •critiquing ‘end demand for prostitution’ efforts. | Written statement submitted by the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women, a non-governmental organization in special consultative status.

However service coverage levels for HIV prevention services among sex workers are low (generally <50%). HIV prevention services for male and transgender sex workers are almost non-existent, as are programs for male clients. • Where sex worker rights organizations have partnered effectively with government the response to HIV among sex workers has been particularly effective and sustainable. This has meant prevention services which involve significant sex worker leadership in their design and implementation and which attend to structural barriers to safe sex. • Empowerment-based, comprehensive HIV prevention among sex workers is cost-effective, particularly in higher prevalence settings where it becomes cost-saving. The cost per client for the intervention ranges from $102 to $184, with United Kingdomraine having the lowest and Brazil the highest cost per client. Labor costs are the major expense, and account for the majority of variation across countries. • Violence, stigma and discrimination against sex workers are extremely prevalent. Addressing violence, stigma and discrimination against sex workers is also a human rights imperative. • There is a good justification based on the analyses presented herein to more equitably allocate HIV prevention funding to interventions focused on sex workers, such as the comprehensive community empowerment intervention. | Health, STI/HIV | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Based on ethnographic observations and informal interviews conducted at a typical adult film production company and on examining the industry’s historical development, I have found that a diverse range of occupations and occupational opportunities are available for women in the adult film industry and women workers in the US adult film industry experience their gendered workplace in unique ways. I suggest that this is due in part to the adult film industry’s wider social network, which has itself been shaped by the historical development of the adult film industry and the stigma of sex work. | Tibbals, C.

A “sexy” topic, human trafficking is not only susceptible to alluring, fetishistic and voyeuristic narratives, but plays into the celebrity-as-rescuer-of-the-victim ideal that receives excessive attention from media, policymakers and the public. While some celebrities may become knowledgeable enough to give responsible advice to law and policy makers, others engaging in anti-trafficking activism are neither knowledgeable enough nor using good judgment when interacting with those who make the laws and create anti-trafficking programs. But the responsibility must lie primarily with those same law and policy makers who are so slavishly devoted to using celebrity witnesses in order to satisfy their own desire to interact with celebrities. The extent to which law and policy makers are abdicating their duties to constituents and donors by allowing celebrity activists to provide them with legal and policy advice is emblematic of the larger and more general problems with funding, narratives and the shallow level of discourse in current anti-trafficking initiatives. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||||

I will argue against the political efficacy of seeing rape as the fixed reality of women's lives, against an identity politics which defines women by our violability, and for a shift of scene from rape and its aftermath to rape situations themselves and to rape prevention. Many current theories of rape present rape as an inevitable material fact of life and assume that a rapist's ability to physically overcome his target is the foundation of rape.

I discuss how calls to “end trafficking, especially in women and children” are influenced by – and go on to legitimate – governmental practices to criminalize the self-willed migration of people moving without official permission. I discuss how the ideological frame of anti-trafficking works to reinforce restrictive immigration practices, shore up a nationalized consciousness of space and home, and criminalize those rendered illegal within national territories. Anti-trafficking campaigns also fail to take into account migrants’ limited agency in the migration process. I provide alternative routes to anti-trafficking campaigns by arguing for an analytical framework in which the related worldwide crises of displacement and migration are foregrounded. I argue that by centering the standpoint of undocumented migrants a more transformative politics emerges, one that demands that people be able to “stay” and to “move” in a self-determined manner. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Once in the UK, one is confronted with similar campaigns but this time of a slightly different message; a campaign such as Blue Blindfolds calls on the general public across the UK to share any suspicions or information on cases of trafficking with the police or the Home Office. During the last decade, anti-trafficking information campaigns have played a prominent part in anti-trafficking policies throughout Europe. They have for the most part been launched in migrants’ counties of origin with the idea of warning migrants about the dangers of irregular migration. Scholars have taken interest in those campaigns and argued that despite the best intentions, those campaigns aim at reducing irregular migration, encourage women to stay at home, promote stereotypes about ‘eastern’ European societies as patriarchal and crime-ridden and of women as naïve victims (Nieuwenhuys and Pécoud, 2007; Sharma, 2003). Feminist scholars have moreover put into question the category of a ‘victim’, critiqued a slippage between ‘illegal immigration’, ‘forced prostitution’, and ‘trafficking’, and argued that these conflations divert attention from the role of the state (O’Connell Davidson, 2006). | Feminist Review, 92(1), pp. 151–156 | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||

Vohs | A heterosexual community can be analyzed as a marketplace in which men seek to acquire sex from women by offering other resources in exchange. Societies will therefore define gender roles as if women are sellers and men buyers of sex. *Societies will endow female sexuality*, but not male sexuality, with value (as in virginity, fidelity, chastity). The sexual activities of different couples are loosely interrelated by a marketplace, instead of being fully separate or private, and each couple’s decisions may be influenced by market conditions. Economic principles suggest that the price of sex will depend on supply and demand, competition among sellers, variations in product, collusion among sellers, and other factors. Research findings show *gender asymmetries* (reflecting the complementary economic roles) in prostitution, courtship, infidelity and divorce, female competition, the sexual revolution and changing norms, unequal status between partners, cultural suppression of female sexuality, abusive relationships, rape, and sexual attitudes. | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15582858 | Economics | English | Global | |||||||||||

We predicted that, among men who perform cunnilingus on their partner, those at greater risk of *sperm competition* are more likely to perform cunnilingus until their partner achieves orgasm (Prediction 1), and that, among men who ejaculate during penile-vaginal intercourse and whose partner experiences a cunnilingus-assisted orgasm, ejaculation will occur during the brief period in which female orgasm might function to retain sperm (Prediction 2). The results support Prediction 1 but not Prediction 2. We discuss limitations of the current research and discuss how these results may be more consistent with alternative hypotheses regarding female orgasm and oral sex. | Evolutionary Psychology 11(2): 405-414 | http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2350785/Whats-point-oral-sex-New-scientific-study-says-men-perform-cunnilingus-minimize-risk-infidelity.html | Sexology | English | Global | ||||||||||

(Institute for Empirical Economic Research, University of Zürich) | Non-sexual prostitution. Survival in academia depends on publications in refereed journals. Authors only get their papers accepted if they intellectually prostitute themselves by slavishly following the demands made by anonymous referees who have no property rights to the journals they advise. *Intellectual prostitution* is neither beneficial to suppliers nor consumers. But it is avoidable. The editor (with property rights to the journal) should make the basic decision of whether a paper is worth publishing or not.

Thomas (City College NY) | This article explores how the efficiency of Internet search is changing the way Americans find romantic partners. We use a new data source, the How Couples Meet and Stay Together survey. Results show that for 60 years, family and grade school have been steadily declining in their influence over the *dating market*. In the past 15 years, the rise of the Internet has partly displaced not only family and school, but also neighborhood, friends, and the workplace as venues for meeting partners. The Internet increasingly allows Americans to meet and form relationships with perfect strangers, that is, people with whom they had no previous social tie. Individuals who face a thin market for potential partners, such as gays, lesbians, and middle-aged heterosexuals, are especially likely to meet partners online. One result of the increasing importance of the Internet in meeting partners is that adults with Internet access at home are substantially more likely to have partners, even after controlling for other factors. Partnership rate has increased during the Internet era (consistent with Internet efficiency of search) for same-sex couples, but the heterosexual partnership rate has been flat. | Technology | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Some have suggested that those who have difficulty downregulating their sexual desires be diagnosed as having a sexual “addiction”. However, such symptoms also may be better understood as a non-pathological variation of high sexual desire. Hypersexuals are thought to be relatively sexual reward sensitized, but also to have high exposure to visual sexual stimuli. If individuals exhibit habituation, their P300 amplitude to sexual stimuli should be diminished; if they merely have high sexual desire, their P300 amplitude to sexual stimuli should be increased. Neural responsivity to sexual stimuli in a sample of hypersexuals could differentiate these two competing explanations of symptoms. 52 (13 female) individuals viewed emotional photographs while electroencephalography was collected. Larger P300 amplitude differences to pleasant sexual stimuli, relative to neutral stimuli, was negatively related to measures of sexual desire, but not related to measures of hypersexuality. | Huffington Post: Sex Addiction Does Not Appear To Be A Disorder, UCLA Study Says | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/19/sex-addiction-not-disorder-ucla_n_3624393.html | Sexology | English | Global | ||||||||||

Each model is analyzed in terms of its strengths, weaknesses, and applicability, and key areas of under-funding are identified.

Sex workers were particularly sensitive to being identified and belittled within the health care environment. Demand-side barriers also featured, including competing time commitments and costs of transport and some treatment, reflecting SWs' marginalised socio-economic position. Conclusion: Improving treatment access for SWs is critical for their own health, programme equity, and public health benefit. Programmes working to reduce SW attrition from HIV care need to proactively address the quality and environment of public services. Sensitising health workers through specialised training, refining referral systems from sex-worker friendly clinics into the national system, and providing opportunities for SW to collectively organise for improved treatment and rights might help alleviate the barriers to treatment initiation and attention currently faced by SW. | Health, STI/HIV | English | Global | ||||||||||||

In recent times, sex workers have begun to demand appropriate payment from researchers who need our assistance and have critiqued research that is sloppy or morally biased. Horror stories exist within sex worker communities of lives ruined and discriminatory laws made as a result of outsiders researching and reporting on our activities. Positive research experiences are few and far between, but we are determined to create them by leading our own research and having input into the research projects of others in formative stages. In order to create a more reflexive practice, non-sex worker researchers must better interrogate their own motives for researching sex work, and sex workers must be positioned as active, not passive, voices in research about our work. This paper discusses proven best practice ways of involving sex workers so as to produce better quality research that informs law-making, policy, wellbeing and other regulatory outcomes. The paper is based upon the August 2009 International Sex Worker Think Tank on Research, and parts of this paper were originally presented at the National Centre for HIV Social Research conference at UNSW in April 2010. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Peppet, Professor of Law, University of Colorado Law School | Novel approach to prostitution reform focused on incremental market improvement facilitated by information law and policy. Empirical evidence from the economics and sociology of sex work shows that new, Internet-enabled, indoor forms of prostitution may be healthier, less violent, and more rewarding than traditional street prostitution. This Article argues that these existing “Prostitution 2.0” innovations have not yet improved sex markets sufficiently to warrant legalization. It suggests that creating a new “Prostitution 3.0” that solves the remaining problems of disease, violence, and coercion in prostitution markets is possible, but would require removing legal barriers to ongoing technological innovation in this context, such as state laws criminalizing technologies that “advance prostitution.” This Article considers what Prostitution 3.0 might entail, how it might be created, and whether it would succeed in remedying the ongoing problems in prostitution markets. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||||||||

The new social science behind why you’re never able to convince friends or foes to even consider things from your side. | Horowitz, Eric (newspaper article) | The psychological barriers to evidence based policy arguments - Self-protection against threats to your self-image or self-worth. Self-affirmation—a mental exercise that increases feelings of self-worth—makes people more willing to accept threatening information. By raising or “affirming” your self-worth, you can then encounter things that lower your self-worth without a net decrease. - Information is more likely to have the desired effect if, on net, it doesn’t lower a person’s self-worth. - Humans attribute our failures to external factors (bad luck), but our success to internal factors (skill). - “Motivated reasoning”: Professional politicians are dogmatic. They disregard your proof of arguments. Even if we demand evidence based policy. - Intransigence (Kompromißlosigkeit) Our openness to information depends on how it affects self-worth - “Backfire effect”: when people are presented with corrective information that runs counter to their ideology, those who most strongly identify with the ideology will intensify their incorrect beliefs. When information presents a greater threat, it’s less likely to have an impact. - Self-imunisation: The upshot of your argument is that he has spent years supporting a set of policies that kill people. And yet he knows there’s no way that could be true because he’s a good person who wants what’s best for the world. So what you’re saying has to be false. It’s not even worth considering. - Strongest arguments are typically utilized: The arguments that are most threatening to opponents are viewed as the strongest and cited most often. Liberals are baby-killers (pro choice) while conservatives won’t let women control their own body (pro life). - Arguments or demonstrations often only have a community building effect on the own party: Each argument is game-set-match for those already partial to it, but too threatening to those who aren’t. political parties the priority is often driving activism rather than changing minds, and thus threatening arguments may be a better choice. - Stay lower than the opponent's thread threshold: Those arguments are objectively weaker, but it’s more likely to be below the threat threshold that leads to automatic rejection. It might actually be considered. Using the weakest points is a type of formal compromising with your opponents personality. That is what drives peaceful politics not creating victims or losers.

Advocacy NGOs whose legitimacy and authority depend on their role as representatives of marginalised and disenfranchised populations are in many cases prone to exploit discourses on vulnerability and victimhood in order to fortify their own identity as “advocates”. 2 case studies on prostitution and child labour. The ascription of identities by advocacy NGOs to their beneficiaries is an empirically contested phenomenon. When the allegedly weak and “voiceless” persons whom advocacy NGOs claim to represent start to defend their own interests and publicly contradict the positions advocated on their behalf, conflict between these groups arises. We observe this dynamic particularly concerning the “abolition” of harmful practices, such as child work and prostitution. Child workers and prostitutes contest the way in which they are portrayed by their advocates in public discourse and especially resist the ascription of a “victim” identity. | Global Society, 27:4, 497-520, DOI: 10.1080/13600826.2013.823914 | Community Organizing | English | Global | |||||||||||

The qualitative data were analyzed using an adapted form of *grounded theory*. It was found that client-perpetrated sexual violence within male sex work appears to be uncommon. However, when sexual violence did occur the cause was a disagreement over barebacking. Escorts’ explanations for the low level of sexual violence within this sector included (1) that gay men were non-confrontational, (2) their clients led clandestine lifestyles avoiding undue attention, and (3) comparatively, female sex workers were perceived to be more vulnerable resulting in the higher level of sexual violence within the female sex work industry. | International Journal of Sexual Health, Volume 23, Issue 1, 2011, pages 63-78. | In MSM sex work more often the client is victim of violence, when a gay4pay escort is freaking out. Typically the sex worker is the physically stronger party. But very young, boyish escorts can experience violence similar known to female sex workers. Gay and trans* sex workers experience violence form the community (hate crime).

This battle will continue to be characterised by a dispute over the legitimacy of prostitution, perpetuating a belief that prostitution is distinct to other forms of labour, and that systems of legalised prostitution are fuelling trafficking in young women and girls. It seems absurd that while the demand for sexual services is maligned and cast as the primary factor fuelling the trafficking in women, the demand for cheap clothes or fruit is rarely viewed as the cause of trafficking in the garment and agricultural industries. Over time, this perspective may change to a point where it is the exploitation of labour, rather than the labour itself, which is condemned in all industries where trafficking occurs. In the short term, we should at least be allowed to expect that policy be informed by reliable evidence, not just ideology. | Law | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Prostitution in Sweden has been (re)defined according to a *‘radical feminist’ discourse* as a form of gendered violence against women. These constructions have resulted in the *exclusion of sex workers*. *Harm reduction* initiatives are seen to endorse, encourage, and facilitate sex work, and are therefore seen to damage efforts to abolish prostitution. There is no convincing evidence that overall levels of prostitution have declined since 1999. Instead, some sex work has simply been displaced from public space by targeted policing and advances in telecommunications technologies. | Presented at the sex worker open university Sex Workers’ Rights Festival Glasgow, 6 April, 2013 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | |||||||||||

Expands on the work of Leopoldina Fortunati (The Arcane of Reproduction - Housework, Prostitution, Labor and Capital 1955). In it, she argues against Karl Marx's claim that primitive accumulation is a necessary precursor for capitalism. Instead, she posits that *primitive accumulation* is a fundamental characteristic of capitalism itself—that capitalism, in order to perpetuate itself, requires a constant infusion of *expropriated capital*. Historical struggle for the commons and the struggle for communalism. Instead of seeing capitalism as a liberatory defeat of feudalism, Federici interprets the ascent of capitalism as a reactionary move to subvert the rising tide of communalism and to retain the basic social contract. She situates the institutionalization of rape and prostitution, as well as the heretic and witch-hunt trials, burnings, and torture at the center of a *methodical subjugation of women and appropriation of their labor*. This is tied into *colonial expropriation* and provides a framework for understanding the work of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and other *proxy institutions* as engaging in a renewed cycle of primitive accumulation, by which everything held in common—from water, to seeds, to our genetic code—becomes *privatized* in what amounts to a new round of *enclosures*. | Autonomedia, Brooklyn, NY, Edition 2009 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvia_Federici | Economics | English | Global | ||||||||||

This article addresses our work with collectivising rural women not in sex work (Vidrohi Mahila Manch [Platform for Rebellious Women] (VMM in Sangli) and rural women in sex work (Veshya Anyay Mukti Parishad (VAMP)) from South Maharashtra and North Karnataka, India. It examines the apparent control adult women in sex work have over their own bodies and lives. Although it is true that unless acting collectively, they are less successful in confronting organised criminal gangs and the brutal side of law enforcers, most of them boldly confront sexual relations with individual male clients and men from their own community. | IDS Bulletin, 45: 46–52. doi: 10.1111/1759-5436.12067 | Politics | English | India | |||||||||||

348 | New Zealand | http://www.specialcollections.uws.ac.uk/documents/AbelgillianPhDnewzealand.pdf | 2010 | Decriminalisation: A harm minimisation and human rights approach to regulating sex work | Gillian Abel (Ph.D. Thesis, University of Otago, Public Health Research) | This thesis takes a community-based participatory approach, using mixed methods to examine the impact of the decriminalisation of sex work in New Zealand through the lens of a public health discourse of harm minimisation. The key question addressed in this thesis is whether decriminalisation has minimised the harms experienced by sex workers. Rather than taking a narrow view of harm minimisation and looking merely at the practices of sex workers, I have taken a more holistic stance, taking into account structural social issues which contribute to the health and wellbeing of sex workers. Data were collected through a survey of 772 sex workers. Minimal change in the size of the sex industry is not surprising as the underlying motivations for working in this industry have not changed in a decriminalised environment. As this thesis demonstrates, structural factors (such as economic climate, employment opportunities, welfare, housing and sickness benefits) are associated with the entry into sex work rather than the way the industry is regulated. Theories of social exclusion and stigma are utilised in the thesis to show how sex workers have been cast predominantly as a deviant population, associated with disease, crime and drugs. The media often make use of these associations in reporting on sex workers, which leads to heightened public anxiety and campaigns to exclude sex workers from society. Even in a decriminalised environment in New Zealand, such campaigns continue, which has meant that although decriminalisation has given sex workers in New Zealand human rights, they continue to experience stigmatisation. This thesis found that sex workers have poorer self-reported mental health than the general population of New Zealand and some of this poorer perceived mental health could be due to their ongoing stigmatisation. This is not to say that decriminalisation has not been a success. As this thesis demonstrates, sex workers in New Zealand have more control over their work environment, including their safety and their sexual health, since the passing of the Prostitution Reform Act (2003). The Act has given them legal, employment and occupational health and safety rights which has made it easier to negotiate services and safer sex with clients, has made it easier for managed sex workers to refuse to see certain clients without penalties from management and has improved the relationship between sex workers and police. The fact that sex workers can make use of the law has given them a sense of legitimacy and respectability which was absent under laws that criminalised them. The provision of human rights to sex workers through the decriminalisation of the sex industry has led to the minimisation of harm to New Zealand sex workers. | Politics | English | New Zealand | ||||||||||||

Abel and Lisa J. Fitzgerald, Cheryl Bruton | In 2003, New Zealand decriminalised sex work through the enactment of the Prostitution Reform Act. Many opponents to this legislation predicted that there would be increasing numbers of people entering sex work, especially in the street-based sector. The debates within the New Zealand media following the legislation were predominantly moralistic and there were calls for the recriminalisation of the street-based sector. This study estimated the number of sex workers post-decriminalisation in 5 locations in New Zealand: the 3 main cities in which sex work takes place as well as two smaller cities. These estimations were compared to existing estimations prior to and at the time of decriminalisation. The research suggests that the Prostitution Reform Act has had little impact on the number of people working in the sex industry. | Jnl Soc.

Some media depicted Norwegian men as victims of the ‘nasty’ Nigerian women, and the Norwegian women. “The discussion about human trafficking swept everything else out of the way”. Norway then enacted the Sex Purchase Act 2009 after a period of trafficking and migration fears. Paper: "The development of Norwegian prostitution policies" in: Sexuality Research and Social Policy no. 3.12. Much of the literature on prostitution is unusable for research purposes because it is difficult to know if the conclusions are derived from the data or from the researcher’s political position. The view on prostitution is a cultural expression about unequal power relationships, but only addressing a symptom not the reason of poverty or inequality. | Politics | English | Norway | ||||||||||||

The study examined sexual risk between these two groups of men, and the significance of the economic exchanges involved in their sexual interactions. Using a Grounded Theory approach, 23 individual interviews and 7 focus groups were analyzed. The results reveal that cultural, economic and gender factors mold sexual and social relations among a group of men who have sex with men in Peru. Compensated sex is part of the behaviors of these men, reflecting a complicated construction of sexuality based on traditional conceptions of gender roles, sexual identity and masculinity. Several factors (e.g. difficulty in negotiating condom use, low self-esteem, low risk perception, alcohol and drug consumption), in the context of compensated sex, play a role in risk-taking for HIV infection. | Sexualities, 11, 3, June, 352-374 | peru,prostitution,queer,sex work,sugardaddy | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Peru | ||||||||||

As part of a larger project examining male escorts working for a single agency, MSWs (n = 38) were interviewed about their work and personal lives. MSWs developed more self-efficacy around sex work behaviors and more positive outcome expectations with experience; moral conflict and lack of attraction to clients limited MSWs' self-efficacy. Key variables for sex work appeared to be cognitive in nature-mostly represented by a *decreased commitment to normative social/sexual values*, the specific nature of which may have varied by *sexual orientation*. Findings support the contention that *social-cognitive theory can effectively model entry of young men into sex work*. Social-cognitive theory provides a broad umbrella underneath which various explanations for male sex work can be gathered. | Abstract only: | http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22880726 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||

In the midst of this sometimes-contradictory application of the INA, victims of attempted sex trafficking (those who have faced threats or attempts by sex traffickers to force them into sexual slavery) have consistently been rejected for asylum by U.S. courts. Federal courts have uniformly denied these asylum claims by ruling that these victims do not meet the INA’s requirement that refugees fall into a particular social group. Therefore, this Comment focuses largely on the argument that U.S. courts have interpreted the “social group” provision in an unduly narrow fashion, and that victims of attempted trafficking do indeed satisfy this element of the INA’s test for asylum eligibility. This Comment argues that U.S. courts’ rejections of these asylum claims are inconsistent with the legislative intent behind the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, federal case law that has granted asylum petitions in similar contexts, and the United Nations’ and international interpretations of refugee law. Based on these reasons and public policy concerns, U.S. courts should recognize the valid claims of many of these victims of attempted trafficking, and grant them the asylum that they deserve. | Anti-Trafficking | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

Chacó | In order to understand why the TVPA from 2001 has fallen short of its goals, the Act must be analyzed in the context of its legal antecedents: the labor, immigration and sex trafficking laws that existed prior to the TVPA and that form the bulk of the Act’s substantive provisions. This article demonstrates that long before the TVPA was enacted, legal and policy decisions were made in each of these three areas that continue to exacerbate the domestic manifestations of problem of human trafficking and the related exploitation of undocumented migrant workers. Unfortunately, Congress did not systematically revisit these laws when passing the TVPA. In fact, the TVPA incorporates many provisions of these laws with only minor changes, and fails to address many of the *perverse structural incentives* that the laws create. (1) Border interdiction strategies, (2) restrictive and punitive immigration policies and (3) insufficient labor protection for migrants interact in ways that leave exploited workers in the United States at the mercy of traffickers and abusive employers, notwithstanding the TVPA. Furthermore, the narrow understanding of trafficking that dominates domestic TVPA enforcement efforts has created (4) an over-emphasis on anti-prostitution efforts to (2) the exclusion of broader issues of worker exploitation, and has also resulted in (5) racially biased understanding and enforcement of anti-trafficking laws within the United States. Unfortunately, some of the worst impulses of U.S. anti-trafficking strategies have also been incorporated into the U.S. government’s international anti-trafficking strategies. In short, as currently enforced, the TVPA exacerbates many of the negative effects of pre-existing laws, even as it alleviates some of the political pressure to address human exploitation. | Fordham Law Review, Vol. 74, p. 2977, May 2006; UC Davis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 79; UC Irvine School of Law Research Paper No. 2009-31. | Anti-Trafficking | English | U.S.A. | |||||||||||

From this, YWEP’s first youth developed, led, and analyzed research project was born. Our research questions were: 1. What individual and institutional violence do girls in the sex trade experience? 2. How do we heal/bounce back from this violence? 3. How do we resist/fight back against this violence? 4. How can we unite and collectively fight back?

This *serious game* serves as a captivating alternative *advocacy tool* and interactive demonstration of these policing practices that elicits heartfelt reactions and independent conclusions about the policy from average constituents to essential policymakers.

Physical and sexual violence were prevalent, with 43% reporting past-month abuse. *Clients* were the primary perpetrators; their violence was severe, compromised women's condom and sexual negotiation, and included forced and coerced anal intercourse. Sex work was a factor in intimate partner violence. *Police abuse* was largely an exploitation of power imbalances for coerced sex. Findings affirm the need to address physical and sexual violence, particularly that perpetrated by clients, as a social determinant of health for women in sex work, as well as a threat to safety and wellbeing, and a contextual barrier to HIV risk reduction. | Health, STI/HIV | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

Rhode Island District Court judge unexpectedly decriminalized indoor prostitution in 2003. This provides us the first causal estimates of the impact of decriminalization on the composition of the sex market, rape offenses, and population sexually transmitted infection outcomes. Not surprisingly, we find that decriminalization increased the size of the indoor market. However, somewhat unexpectedly, we find that decriminalization caused both forcible rape offenses and gonorrhea incidence to decline for the overall population. Our synthetic control model finds 824 fewer reported rape offenses and 1,035 fewer cases of female gonorrhea from 2004 to 2009. The combined benefits of 6 years of decriminalization are estimated to be approximately $200 million. Decriminalization appears to benefit the population at large, especially women|and not just sex workers. | Law | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

The market is clearly highly racialized. How can immigration status make it easier not only to recruit domestic workers, but also to retain them as additional means of control? ‘Foreignness’ may also make the management of the employment relation easier with employers anxious to discover a coincidence of interest with the worker. Employers are not only looking for generic ‘foreignness’ however, but typically also seek particular nationalities or ethnicities of worker, which can raise difficulties for agencies who are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of ‘race’. ... The immigration status of ‘au pair’ can function as a means, that the migrant is seen not as a worker at all. This can help nationals employers imagine private work as an opportunity rather than drudgery, and themselves as benefactors as well as employers. | European Journal of Women’s Studies, Vol. 14(3): 247–264 | Racism and precarious migration status as means to establish distinction profits by locals. | www.compas.ox.ac.United Kingdom | Migration | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||

In order to address this gender imbalance some feminists have advocated the enforcement and/or strengthening of kerb crawling legislation and other schemes that *target men* who pay for sex. During 1998–9 one initiative, which aimed to target men who pay for sex in the UK, the Kerb Crawler Rehabilitation Programme (KCRP), was piloted in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Although the KCRP received considerable media coverage there has been relatively little critical debate among feminists about this approach to working with clients of sex workers.

Instead there needs to be a shift at the policy, legal and administrative levels to reflect an understanding that the women, men and transgender people engaged in commercial sexual services are engaged in a labour process. From this labour framework, it is then possible to identify instances of forced labour and poor working conditions and enact appropriate remedies and responses while at the same time protecting the rights of sex workers and migrants. | Anti-Trafficking | English | United Kingdom | ||||||||||||

Discourses of human trafficking as prostitution, modern-day slavery and organised crime do important work. Primarily, they provide the government with a moral platform from which it can develop its regulatory capacity overseas. Complex interrelationships exist and while the government’s interest in protecting vulnerable women from sexual exploitation may seem to be paramount.

This paper brings together extensive qualitative fieldwork from two cities in the UK to unpack the intricacies in relation to violence and safety for indoor workers. Firstly, we document the types of violence women experience in indoor venues noting how the vulnerabilities surrounding work-based hazards are dependent on the environment in which sex is sold. Secondly, we highlight the protection strategies that indoor workers and management develop to maintain safety and order in the establishment. Thirdly, we use these empirical findings to suggest that violence should be a high priority on the policy agenda. Here we contend that the organizational and cultural conditions that seem to offer some protection from violence in indoor settings could be useful for informing the management of street sex work. Finally, drawing on the crime prevention literature, we argue that it is possible to go a considerable way to designing out vulnerability in sex work, but not only through physical and organizational change but building in *respect* for sex workers rights by developing policies that promote the employment/human rights and citizenship for sex workers. This argument is made in light of the Coordinated Prostitution Strategy. | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||||||

In May 2003, the Global AIDS Act was passed and prohibits allocation of US government funds to organizations that 'promote or advocate' legalization and practice of prostitution and sex trafficking. There are few documented examples of early impacts of this policy reversal on USAID-funded programmes already working with sex worker communities. This paper offers an anecdotal account of one programme in Cambodia that found itself caught in the ideological cross-fire of US politics, and describes consequent negative effects on the project's ability to offer appropriate and effective HIV prevention services to vulnerable migrant sex workers. | Health policy and planning, 21, 4, July, 329--32, | Cambodia,Financing,Government,Humans,International Cooperation,Internationality,Policy Making,Prostitution,United States,advocacy,policy,prostitution,service providers,sex work,usa | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||

The study examined sexual risk between these two groups of men, and the significance of the economic exchanges involved in their sexual interactions. Using a Grounded Theory approach, 23 individual interviews and 7 focus groups were analyzed. The results reveal that cultural, economic and gender factors mold sexual and social relations among a group of men who have sex with men in Peru. Compensated sex is part of the behaviors of these men, reflecting a complicated construction of sexuality based on traditional conceptions of gender roles, sexual identity and masculinity. Several factors (e.g. difficulty in negotiating condom use, low self-esteem, low risk perception, alcohol and drug consumption), in the context of compensated sex, play a role in risk-taking for HIV infection. | Sexualities, 11, 3, June, 352-374 | peru,prostitution,queer,sex work,sugardaddy | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Peru | ||||||||||

This is notwithstanding global evidence of the multiple harms faced by this population, including high rates of violence and poverty, and enhanced vulnerabilities to HIV transmission among women who smoke or inject drugs. In response, a participatory-action research project was developed in partnership with a local sex work agency to examine the HIV-related vulnerabilities, barriers to accessing care, and impact of current prevention and harm reduction strategies among women in survival sex work. This paper provides a brief background of the health and drug-related harms among substance-using women in survival sex work, and outlines the development and methodology of a community-based HIV prevention research project partnership. In doing so, we discuss some of the strengths and challenges of community-based HIV prevention research, as well as some key ethical considerations, in the context of street-level sex work in an urban setting. | Harm reduction journal, 4, January, 20 | Health, STI/HIV | English | Canada | |||||||||||

Women in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES) are highly marginalized and struggle with multiple morbidities, unstable housing, addiction, survival sex, and elevated risk of sexual and drug-related harms, including HIV infection. Although recent studies have identified the heightened risk of HIV infection among women engaged in sex work and injection drug use, the uptake of HIV care among this population has received little attention. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the needs of women engaged in survival sex work and to assess utilization and acceptance of HAART. During November 2003, a baseline needs assessment was conducted among 159 women through a low-threshold drop-in centre servicing street-level sex workers in Vancouver. Cross-sectional data were used to describe the sociodemographic characteristics, drug use patterns, HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing and status, and attitudes towards HAART. High rates of cocaine injection, heroin injection, and smokeable crack cocaine use reflect the vulnerable and chaotic nature of this population. Although preliminary findings suggest an overall high uptake of health and social services, there was limited attention to HIV care with only 9\% of the women on HAART. Self-reported barriers to accessing treatment were largely attributed to misinformation and misconceptions about treatment. Given the acceptability of accessing HAART through community interventions and women specific services, this study highlights the potential to reach this highly marginalized group and provides valuable baseline information on a population that has remained largely outside consistent HIV care. | Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 82, 3, September, 488--97, | Adult,Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active,Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active: utilization,Canada,Canada: epidemiology,Community Health Services,Community Health Services: supply distribution,Community Health Services: utilization,Female,HIV Infections,HIV Infections: epidemiology,HIV Infections: therapy,Health Services Accessibility,Hepatitis C,Hepatitis C: epidemiology,Humans,Middle Aged,Poverty Areas,Prostitution,Substance-Related Disorders,Substance-Related Disorders: epidemiology,Urban Population | Health, STI/HIV | English | Canada | ||||||||||

Legalization has failed to yield the type of advances for strippers envisioned by the regulation hypothesis. Because courts and employers treat work in the commercial sex industry as unworthy of protection, labor laws largely exclude stripping from those legal definitions of “employment” providing for labor organizing and wage, hour and anti-discrimination protections. Moreover, local governments deploy regulatory law to eliminate or significantly constrict the presence of strip clubs in their communities. These legal measures, such as zoning ordinances and nudity bans, have only tightened the labor market for strippers, thereby increasing strippers’ vulnerability to employer abuses. | Law | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Sussex, Brighton) | Narratives on “white slavery” and their re-emergence in the moral panics and boundary crises. The narratives of innocent, virginal victims purveyed in the “trafficking in women” discourse are a modern version of the myth of “white slavery.” These narratives, the article argues, reflect persisting anxieties about female sexuality and women’s autonomy. Racialised representations of the migrant “Other” as helpless, child-like, victims strips sex workers of their agency. The article argues that while the myth of “trafficking in women”/”white slavery” is ostensibly about protecting women, the underlying moral concern is with the control of “loose women.” Through the denial of migrant sex workers’ agency, these discourses serve to reinforce notions of female dependence and purity that serve to further marginalise sex workers and undermine their human rights. | International Studies Convention, Washington, DC, February 16 - 20, 1999, Gender Issues, Vol. 18, no. 1, Winter 2000, pp. 23-50. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||

Rape fantasies exist on a continuum between erotic and aversive, with 9% completely aversive, 45% completely erotic, and 46% both erotic and aversive. Women who are more erotophilic, open to fantasy, and higher in self-esteem tended to have more frequent and erotic rape fantasies than other women.

The market is clearly highly racialized. How can immigration status make it easier not only to recruit domestic workers, but also to retain them as additional means of control? ‘Foreignness’ may also make the management of the employment relation easier with employers anxious to discover a coincidence of interest with the worker. Employers are not only looking for generic ‘foreignness’ however, but typically also seek particular nationalities or ethnicities of worker, which can raise difficulties for agencies who are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of ‘race’. ... The immigration status of ‘au pair’ can function as a means, that the migrant is seen not as a worker at all. This can help nationals employers imagine private work as an opportunity rather than drudgery, and themselves as benefactors as well as employers. | European Journal of Women’s Studies, Vol. 14(3): 247–264 | Racism and precarious migration status as means to establish distinction profits by locals. | www.compas.ox.ac.United Kingdom | Migration | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||

Why don´t we perform and show sex differently, instead of idealizing a way back to nature? The concept called "post-porn" was invented by erotic photographer Wink van Kempen and made popular by sexwork-activist and performance artist Annie M. Sprinkle. It claimed a new status of sexual representation: Through identifying with critical joy and agancy while deconstructing its hetero/normative and naturalising conditions, Sprinkle made us think of sex as a category open for use and appropriation of queer_feminist counter-pleasures beyond the victimising framework of censorship and taboo. | He decided to pass away Mai 2013.

However service coverage levels for HIV prevention services among sex workers are low (generally <50%). HIV prevention services for male and transgender sex workers are almost non-existent, as are programs for male clients. • Where sex worker rights organizations have partnered effectively with government the response to HIV among sex workers has been particularly effective and sustainable. This has meant prevention services which involve significant sex worker leadership in their design and implementation and which attend to structural barriers to safe sex. • Empowerment-based, comprehensive HIV prevention among sex workers is cost-effective, particularly in higher prevalence settings where it becomes cost-saving. The cost per client for the intervention ranges from $102 to $184, with United Kingdomraine having the lowest and Brazil the highest cost per client. Labor costs are the major expense, and account for the majority of variation across countries. • Violence, stigma and discrimination against sex workers are extremely prevalent. Addressing violence, stigma and discrimination against sex workers is also a human rights imperative. • There is a good justification based on the analyses presented herein to more equitably allocate HIV prevention funding to interventions focused on sex workers, such as the comprehensive community empowerment intervention. | Health, STI/HIV | English | Global | ||||||||||||

A “sexy” topic, human trafficking is not only susceptible to alluring, fetishistic and voyeuristic narratives, but plays into the celebrity-as-rescuer-of-the-victim ideal that receives excessive attention from media, policymakers and the public. While some celebrities may become knowledgeable enough to give responsible advice to law and policy makers, others engaging in anti-trafficking activism are neither knowledgeable enough nor using good judgment when interacting with those who make the laws and create anti-trafficking programs. But the responsibility must lie primarily with those same law and policy makers who are so slavishly devoted to using celebrity witnesses in order to satisfy their own desire to interact with celebrities. The extent to which law and policy makers are abdicating their duties to constituents and donors by allowing celebrity activists to provide them with legal and policy advice is emblematic of the larger and more general problems with funding, narratives and the shallow level of discourse in current anti-trafficking initiatives. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Seald & Peter McCalla for the paper | Social-cognitive theoretical perspective on the interactions of behavioral, cognitive, and situational factors to understand better how young male sex workers (MSWs) entered the sex trade industry. As part of a larger project examining male escorts working for a single agency, MSWs (n = 38) were interviewed about their work and personal lives. MSWs developed more self-efficacy around sex work behaviors and more positive outcome expectations with experience; moral conflict and lack of attraction to clients limited MSWs' self-efficacy. Key variables for sex work appeared to be cognitive in nature-mostly represented by a *decreased commitment to normative social/sexual values*, the specific nature of which may have varied by *sexual orientation*. Findings support the contention that *social-cognitive theory can effectively model entry of young men into sex work*. Social-cognitive theory provides a broad umbrella underneath which various explanations for male sex work can be gathered. | Abstract only: | http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22880726 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||

I will argue against the political efficacy of seeing rape as the fixed reality of women's lives, against an identity politics which defines women by our violability, and for a shift of scene from rape and its aftermath to rape situations themselves and to rape prevention. Many current theories of rape present rape as an inevitable material fact of life and assume that a rapist's ability to physically overcome his target is the foundation of rape. Such a view takes *violence as a self-explanatory first cause* and endows it with an invulnerable and terrifying facticity which *stymies our ability to challenge and demystify rape*. | in: Butler, Judith: "Feminists Theorize the Political", Routledge, New York 2002. | Criminology, Feminism | English | Global | |||||||||||

Data was collected since 1995 and analyzed in order to examine the coalition identities of key players and their positions. Through the presentation of in-depth interview data with key policy players involved in the making of the TVPA, this article illustrates how and why the TVPA was formulated, the implications of its development, and the necessity for critical analysis of its effects. The use of alternative frameworks of labor and migration for understanding trafficking is proposed. Further consideration is given to legislative changes to eliminate anti-prostitution ideology and to support anti-oppressive approaches to addressing forced or deceptive working conditions. 1998 US religious freedom coalition introduced the International Religious Freedom Act and after the Sudan civil war famine where 70.000 died, they formed an anti-trafficking cause with radical feminists, which then was applied to the migration and prostitution debate (agenda setting, coalition formed by Michael Horowitz, Hudson Institute). | Advances in Social Work, Vol 13, No 2 (2012), 243. | TVPA 2000.

Some media depicted Norwegian men as victims of the ‘nasty’ Nigerian women, and the Norwegian women. “The discussion about human trafficking swept everything else out of the way”. Norway then enacted the Sex Purchase Act 2009 after a period of trafficking and migration fears.

Much of the literature on prostitution is unusable for research purposes because it is difficult to know if the conclusions are derived from the data or from the researcher’s political position.

In 2001, Germany also made an attempt to adopt a similar concept as part of a reformed police registration system for so-called ‘politically motivated offences’, focusing predominantly on right-wing extremist crime. However, hate crime is a category which is open to selective interpretations and subjective judgments and to date there are still large empirical deficiencies regarding the identification and classification processes applied by the German police. High levels of ambiguity, uncertainty and arbitrariness initiate a debate surrounding the validity of official hate crime statistics in Germany and reveal a large potential for conflict when it comes to the definition and registration of xenophobic violence and other forms of hate-motivated crime. In this respect, it seems indispensible to carefully evaluate the implementation of the hate crime concept into Germany’s law enforcement system and to analyze current trends and developments, in order to provide valid data on the qualitative and quantitative nature of hate crime incidents in German society. | Law | English | Germany | ||||||||||||

I discuss how calls to “end trafficking, especially in women and children” are influenced by – and go on to legitimate – governmental practices to criminalize the self-willed migration of people moving without official permission. I discuss how the ideological frame of anti-trafficking works to reinforce restrictive immigration practices, shore up a nationalized consciousness of space and home, and criminalize those rendered illegal within national territories. Anti-trafficking campaigns also fail to take into account migrants’ limited agency in the migration process. I provide alternative routes to anti-trafficking campaigns by arguing for an analytical framework in which the related worldwide crises of displacement and migration are foregrounded. I argue that by centering the standpoint of undocumented migrants a more transformative politics emerges, one that demands that people be able to “stay” and to “move” in a self-determined manner. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Once in the UK, one is confronted with similar campaigns but this time of a slightly different message; a campaign such as Blue Blindfolds calls on the general public across the UK to share any suspicions or information on cases of trafficking with the police or the Home Office. During the last decade, anti-trafficking information campaigns have played a prominent part in anti-trafficking policies throughout Europe. They have for the most part been launched in migrants’ counties of origin with the idea of warning migrants about the dangers of irregular migration. Scholars have taken interest in those campaigns and argued that despite the best intentions, those campaigns aim at reducing irregular migration, encourage women to stay at home, promote stereotypes about ‘eastern’ European societies as patriarchal and crime-ridden and of women as naïve victims (Nieuwenhuys and Pécoud, 2007; Sharma, 2003). Feminist scholars have moreover put into question the category of a ‘victim’, critiqued a slippage between ‘illegal immigration’, ‘forced prostitution’, and ‘trafficking’, and argued that these conflations divert attention from the role of the state (O’Connell Davidson, 2006). | Feminist Review, 92(1), pp. 151–156 | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||

In the midst of this sometimes-contradictory application of the INA, victims of attempted sex trafficking (those who have faced threats or attempts by sex traffickers to force them into sexual slavery) have consistently been rejected for asylum by U.S. courts. Federal courts have uniformly denied these asylum claims by ruling that these victims do not meet the INA’s requirement that refugees fall into a particular social group. Therefore, this Comment focuses largely on the argument that U.S. courts have interpreted the “social group” provision in an unduly narrow fashion, and that victims of attempted trafficking do indeed satisfy this element of the INA’s test for asylum eligibility. This Comment argues that U.S. courts’ rejections of these asylum claims are inconsistent with the legislative intent behind the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, federal case law that has granted asylum petitions in similar contexts, and the United Nations’ and international interpretations of refugee law. Based on these reasons and public policy concerns, U.S. courts should recognize the valid claims of many of these victims of attempted trafficking, and grant them the asylum that they deserve. | Anti-Trafficking | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

Vohs | A heterosexual community can be analyzed as a marketplace in which men seek to acquire sex from women by offering other resources in exchange. Societies will therefore define gender roles as if women are sellers and men buyers of sex. *Societies will endow female sexuality*, but not male sexuality, with value (as in virginity, fidelity, chastity). The sexual activities of different couples are loosely interrelated by a marketplace, instead of being fully separate or private, and each couple’s decisions may be influenced by market conditions. Economic principles suggest that the price of sex will depend on supply and demand, competition among sellers, variations in product, collusion among sellers, and other factors. Research findings show *gender asymmetries* (reflecting the complementary economic roles) in prostitution, courtship, infidelity and divorce, female competition, the sexual revolution and changing norms, unequal status between partners, cultural suppression of female sexuality, abusive relationships, rape, and sexual attitudes. | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15582858 | Economics | English | Global | |||||||||||

We predicted that, among men who perform cunnilingus on their partner, those at greater risk of *sperm competition* are more likely to perform cunnilingus until their partner achieves orgasm (Prediction 1), and that, among men who ejaculate during penile-vaginal intercourse and whose partner experiences a cunnilingus-assisted orgasm, ejaculation will occur during the brief period in which female orgasm might function to retain sperm (Prediction 2). The results support Prediction 1 but not Prediction 2.

We focus on the increasing salience of exiting — a move favoured by Matthews as signalling a renewed welfare approach, but one which, when viewed in the wider context of ‘progressive governance’, offers insight into New Labour’s attempt to increase social control under the rhetoric of inclusion, through techniques of risk and responsibilization. By exploring the moral and political components of these techniques, we demonstrate how they operate to privilege and exclude certain forms of citizenship, augmenting the on-going hegemonic moral and political regulation of sex workers. | Brit.

The key question addressed in this thesis is whether decriminalisation has minimised the harms experienced by sex workers. Rather than taking a narrow view of harm minimisation and looking merely at the practices of sex workers, I have taken a more holistic stance, taking into account structural social issues which contribute to the health and wellbeing of sex workers. Data were collected through a survey of 772 sex workers. Minimal change in the size of the sex industry is not surprising as the underlying motivations for working in this industry have not changed in a decriminalised environment. As this thesis demonstrates, structural factors (such as economic climate, employment opportunities, welfare, housing and sickness benefits) are associated with the entry into sex work rather than the way the industry is regulated. Theories of social exclusion and stigma are utilised in the thesis to show how sex workers have been cast predominantly as a deviant population, associated with disease, crime and drugs. The media often make use of these associations in reporting on sex workers, which leads to heightened public anxiety and campaigns to exclude sex workers from society. Even in a decriminalised environment in New Zealand, such campaigns continue, which has meant that although decriminalisation has given sex workers in New Zealand human rights, they continue to experience stigmatisation. This thesis found that sex workers have poorer self-reported mental health than the general population of New Zealand and some of this poorer perceived mental health could be due to their ongoing stigmatisation. This is not to say that decriminalisation has not been a success. As this thesis demonstrates, sex workers in New Zealand have more control over their work environment, including their safety and their sexual health, since the passing of the Prostitution Reform Act (2003). The Act has given them legal, employment and occupational health and safety rights which has made it easier to negotiate services and safer sex with clients, has made it easier for managed sex workers to refuse to see certain clients without penalties from management and has improved the relationship between sex workers and police. The fact that sex workers can make use of the law has given them a sense of legitimacy and respectability which was absent under laws that criminalised them. The provision of human rights to sex workers through the decriminalisation of the sex industry has led to the minimisation of harm to New Zealand sex workers. | Politics | English | New Zealand | ||||||||||||

Thomas (City College NY) | This article explores how the efficiency of Internet search is changing the way Americans find romantic partners. We use a new data source, the How Couples Meet and Stay Together survey. Results show that for 60 years, family and grade school have been steadily declining in their influence over the *dating market*. In the past 15 years, the rise of the Internet has partly displaced not only family and school, but also neighborhood, friends, and the workplace as venues for meeting partners. The Internet increasingly allows Americans to meet and form relationships with perfect strangers, that is, people with whom they had no previous social tie. Individuals who face a thin market for potential partners, such as gays, lesbians, and middle-aged heterosexuals, are especially likely to meet partners online. One result of the increasing importance of the Internet in meeting partners is that adults with Internet access at home are substantially more likely to have partners, even after controlling for other factors. Partnership rate has increased during the Internet era (consistent with Internet efficiency of search) for same-sex couples, but the heterosexual partnership rate has been flat. | Technology | English | Global | ||||||||||||

In order to address this gender imbalance some feminists have advocated the enforcement and/or strengthening of kerb crawling legislation and other schemes that *target men* who pay for sex. During 1998–9 one initiative, which aimed to target men who pay for sex in the UK, the Kerb Crawler Rehabilitation Programme (KCRP), was piloted in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Although the KCRP received considerable media coverage there has been relatively little critical debate among feminists about this approach to working with clients of sex workers. This article draws attention to some of the opposition to the Leeds KCRP. | Feminist Review No. 67, Sex Work Reassessed (Spring, 2001), pp. 94-108 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||||

Chacó | In order to understand why the TVPA from 2001 has fallen short of its goals, the Act must be analyzed in the context of its legal antecedents: the labor, immigration and sex trafficking laws that existed prior to the TVPA and that form the bulk of the Act’s substantive provisions. This article demonstrates that long before the TVPA was enacted, legal and policy decisions were made in each of these three areas that continue to exacerbate the domestic manifestations of problem of human trafficking and the related exploitation of undocumented migrant workers. Unfortunately, Congress did not systematically revisit these laws when passing the TVPA. In fact, the TVPA incorporates many provisions of these laws with only minor changes, and fails to address many of the *perverse structural incentives* that the laws create. (1) Border interdiction strategies, (2) restrictive and punitive immigration policies and (3) insufficient labor protection for migrants interact in ways that leave exploited workers in the United States at the mercy of traffickers and abusive employers, notwithstanding the TVPA. Furthermore, the narrow understanding of trafficking that dominates domestic TVPA enforcement efforts has created (4) an over-emphasis on anti-prostitution efforts to (2) the exclusion of broader issues of worker exploitation, and has also resulted in (5) racially biased understanding and enforcement of anti-trafficking laws within the United States. Unfortunately, some of the worst impulses of U.S. anti-trafficking strategies have also been incorporated into the U.S. government’s international anti-trafficking strategies. In short, as currently enforced, the TVPA exacerbates many of the negative effects of pre-existing laws, even as it alleviates some of the political pressure to address human exploitation. | Fordham Law Review, Vol. 74, p. 2977, May 2006; UC Davis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 79; UC Irvine School of Law Research Paper No. 2009-31. | Anti-Trafficking | English | U.S.A. | |||||||||||

In Paris in 2003 a street prohibition was introduced, against both clients and soliciting persons; in Stockholm in 1999 buyers of sexual services have been criminalized, in Amsterdam in 2000 prostitution has been configured as a trade but only to Dutch or E.U. citizens. In Madrid from 1995 to 2003 there has been a period of depenalization of organizing prostitution indoors, preceded and followed by a de facto tolerance towards the “cludes de alterne” and the other venues where prostitution takes place. All these cities have problems similar to those of Italian cities where foreign women migrating from impoverished countries have come to offer sex in the streets, with the social stigma and rejection that encountered their arrival in public spaces. Worries about the “trafficking of human beings” has also been a major component of law changes that in these countries have been proposed and approved. The research presented in the volume shows how the different policies converge towards common practices: waves of anti-foreign women repression, subsequent re-organization (in worse conditions) of street prostitution, difficulties in making contact with victims of trafficking, de facto tolerance. | Politics | English | Europe | ||||||||||||

Some have suggested that those who have difficulty downregulating their sexual desires be diagnosed as having a sexual “addiction”. However, such symptoms also may be better understood as a non-pathological variation of high sexual desire. Hypersexuals are thought to be relatively sexual reward sensitized, but also to have high exposure to visual sexual stimuli. If individuals exhibit habituation, their P300 amplitude to sexual stimuli should be diminished; if they merely have high sexual desire, their P300 amplitude to sexual stimuli should be increased. Neural responsivity to sexual stimuli in a sample of hypersexuals could differentiate these two competing explanations of symptoms. 52 (13 female) individuals viewed emotional photographs while electroencephalography was collected. Larger P300 amplitude differences to pleasant sexual stimuli, relative to neutral stimuli, was negatively related to measures of sexual desire, but not related to measures of hypersexuality. | Huffington Post: Sex Addiction Does Not Appear To Be A Disorder, UCLA Study Says | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/19/sex-addiction-not-disorder-ucla_n_3624393.html | Sexology | English | Global | ||||||||||

There is no single, “best” approach to social finance, philanthropy and foreign aid that is much in vogue today. Instead an ecosystem of democratic, institutional and commercial funding models matched to different elements of social change is needed. Each model is analyzed in terms of its strengths, weaknesses, and applicability, and key areas of under-funding are identified. The paper ends by describing a number of promising experiments that achieve the double impact of boosting support for radical changes in society while lso transforming the relationships surrounding money that currently separate donors from recipients. | Economics | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Sex workers were particularly sensitive to being identified and belittled within the health care environment. Demand-side barriers also featured, including competing time commitments and costs of transport and some treatment, reflecting SWs' marginalised socio-economic position. Conclusion: Improving treatment access for SWs is critical for their own health, programme equity, and public health benefit. Programmes working to reduce SW attrition from HIV care need to proactively address the quality and environment of public services. Sensitising health workers through specialised training, refining referral systems from sex-worker friendly clinics into the national system, and providing opportunities for SW to collectively organise for improved treatment and rights might help alleviate the barriers to treatment initiation and attention currently faced by SW. | Health, STI/HIV | English | Global | ||||||||||||

In recent times, sex workers have begun to demand appropriate payment from researchers who need our assistance and have critiqued research that is sloppy or morally biased. Horror stories exist within sex worker communities of lives ruined and discriminatory laws made as a result of outsiders researching and reporting on our activities. Positive research experiences are few and far between, but we are determined to create them by leading our own research and having input into the research projects of others in formative stages. In order to create a more reflexive practice, non-sex worker researchers must better interrogate their own motives for researching sex work, and sex workers must be positioned as active, not passive, voices in research about our work. This paper discusses proven best practice ways of involving sex workers so as to produce better quality research that informs law-making, policy, wellbeing and other regulatory outcomes. The paper is based upon the August 2009 International Sex Worker Think Tank on Research, and parts of this paper were originally presented at the National Centre for HIV Social Research conference at UNSW in April 2010. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Instead there needs to be a shift at the policy, legal and administrative levels to reflect an understanding that the women, men and transgender people engaged in commercial sexual services are engaged in a labour process. From this labour framework, it is then possible to identify instances of forced labour and poor working conditions and enact appropriate remedies and responses while at the same time protecting the rights of sex workers and migrants. | Anti-Trafficking | English | United Kingdom | ||||||||||||

Peppet, Professor of Law, University of Colorado Law School | Novel approach to prostitution reform focused on incremental market improvement facilitated by information law and policy. Empirical evidence from the economics and sociology of sex work shows that new, Internet-enabled, indoor forms of prostitution may be healthier, less violent, and more rewarding than traditional street prostitution. This Article argues that these existing “Prostitution 2.0” innovations have not yet improved sex markets sufficiently to warrant legalization. It suggests that creating a new “Prostitution 3.0” that solves the remaining problems of disease, violence, and coercion in prostitution markets is possible, but would require removing legal barriers to ongoing technological innovation in this context, such as state laws criminalizing technologies that “advance prostitution.” This Article considers what Prostitution 3.0 might entail, how it might be created, and whether it would succeed in remedying the ongoing problems in prostitution markets. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||||||||

This situation has had an extreme impact on the physical, mental and social wellbeing of this population. Overall, the article details the multiple effects of sex work criminalisation on the everyday lives of sex workers and on their social interactions and relationships. Underlying their stories, however, are narratives of resilience and resistance. Sex workers in our study draw on their own individual survival strategies and informal forms of support and very occasionally opt to seek recourse through formal channels. They generally recognize the benefits of *unified actions* in assisting them to counter risks in their environment and mobilise against human rights violations, but note how the fluctuant and stigmatised nature of their profession often undermines collective action. Conclusions: While criminal laws urgently need reform, supporting sex work self-organisation and community-building are key interim strategies for safeguarding sex workers’ human rights and improving health outcomes in these communities.

The new social science behind why you’re never able to convince friends or foes to even consider things from your side. | Horowitz, Eric (newspaper article) | The psychological barriers to evidence based policy arguments - Self-protection against threats to your self-image or self-worth. Self-affirmation—a mental exercise that increases feelings of self-worth—makes people more willing to accept threatening information. By raising or “affirming” your self-worth, you can then encounter things that lower your self-worth without a net decrease. - Information is more likely to have the desired effect if, on net, it doesn’t lower a person’s self-worth. - Humans attribute our failures to external factors (bad luck), but our success to internal factors (skill). - “Motivated reasoning”: Professional politicians are dogmatic. They disregard your proof of arguments. Even if we demand evidence based policy. - Intransigence (Kompromißlosigkeit) Our openness to information depends on how it affects self-worth - “Backfire effect”: when people are presented with corrective information that runs counter to their ideology, those who most strongly identify with the ideology will intensify their incorrect beliefs. When information presents a greater threat, it’s less likely to have an impact. - Self-imunisation: The upshot of your argument is that he has spent years supporting a set of policies that kill people. And yet he knows there’s no way that could be true because he’s a good person who wants what’s best for the world. So what you’re saying has to be false. It’s not even worth considering. - Strongest arguments are typically utilized: The arguments that are most threatening to opponents are viewed as the strongest and cited most often. Liberals are baby-killers (pro choice) while conservatives won’t let women control their own body (pro life). - Arguments or demonstrations often only have a community building effect on the own party: Each argument is game-set-match for those already partial to it, but too threatening to those who aren’t. political parties the priority is often driving activism rather than changing minds, and thus threatening arguments may be a better choice. - Stay lower than the opponent's thread threshold: Those arguments are objectively weaker, but it’s more likely to be below the threat threshold that leads to automatic rejection. It might actually be considered. Using the weakest points is a type of formal compromising with your opponents personality. That is what drives peaceful politics not creating victims or losers.

This is especially important in light of the long history of suppression at any cost that has left us vulnerable to violence and marginalized our voices to the point to where we are rarely ever consulted on the direction, the perspective or the consequences of such research on our class. | Further resources: National Institutes of Health Ethical: Research Involving Human Subjects, Guidelines & Regulations (Link_2). | http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/hs/ethical_guidelines.htm | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||||||

Physical and sexual violence were prevalent, with 43% reporting past-month abuse. *Clients* were the primary perpetrators; their violence was severe, compromised women's condom and sexual negotiation, and included forced and coerced anal intercourse. Sex work was a factor in intimate partner violence. *Police abuse* was largely an exploitation of power imbalances for coerced sex. Findings affirm the need to address physical and sexual violence, particularly that perpetrated by clients, as a social determinant of health for women in sex work, as well as a threat to safety and wellbeing, and a contextual barrier to HIV risk reduction. | Health, STI/HIV | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

Abel and Lisa J. Fitzgerald, Cheryl Bruton | In 2003, New Zealand decriminalised sex work through the enactment of the Prostitution Reform Act. Many opponents to this legislation predicted that there would be increasing numbers of people entering sex work, especially in the street-based sector. The debates within the New Zealand media following the legislation were predominantly moralistic and there were calls for the recriminalisation of the street-based sector. This study estimated the number of sex workers post-decriminalisation in 5 locations in New Zealand: the 3 main cities in which sex work takes place as well as two smaller cities. These estimations were compared to existing estimations prior to and at the time of decriminalisation. The research suggests that the Prostitution Reform Act has had little impact on the number of people working in the sex industry. | Jnl Soc.

Rhode Island District Court judge unexpectedly decriminalized indoor prostitution in 2003. This provides us the first causal estimates of the impact of decriminalization on the composition of the sex market, rape offenses, and population sexually transmitted infection outcomes. Not surprisingly, we find that decriminalization increased the size of the indoor market. However, somewhat unexpectedly, we find that decriminalization caused both forcible rape offenses and gonorrhea incidence to decline for the overall population. Our synthetic control model finds 824 fewer reported rape offenses and 1,035 fewer cases of female gonorrhea from 2004 to 2009. The combined benefits of 6 years of decriminalization are estimated to be approximately $200 million. Decriminalization appears to benefit the population at large, especially women|and not just sex workers. | Law | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

Recommendations: greater investments to enhance legal protections for people living with HIV and key populations, such as men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender people and people who use drugs, through strengthened engagement of parliamentarians, judiciary, police, lawyers, national human rights bodies and other key institutions. In support of these actions, donors, including the Global Fund, should promote and allocate greater resources to support government and civil society programming on HIV-related human rights programming.

In particular, the federal, and state and territory governments have yet to take up the opportunity to link anti-trafficking efforts with initiatives aimed at improving the working conditions of workers in the sex industry. We suggest this reflects a common—but unjustified—assumption that “labour trafficking” and “sex trafficking” are distinct and different species of harm. As a result of this distinction, workers in the Australian sex industry —an industry where slavery and trafficking crimes have been detected— are missing out on a suite of potentially effective prevention interventions, and access to civil remedies. We argue that there is a need to provide practical and financial support, so that the national industrial regulator, the Fair Work Ombudsman, can work directly with sex worker advocacy groups, to examine opportunities and barriers to accessing the labour law system, particularly for migrant sex workers. | The Anti-Trafficking Review, Issue 1, 2012, pp.60-79. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Australia | |||||||||||

The ascription of identities by advocacy NGOs to their beneficiaries is an empirically contested phenomenon. When the allegedly weak and “voiceless” persons whom advocacy NGOs claim to represent start to defend their own interests and publicly contradict the positions advocated on their behalf, conflict between these groups arises. We observe this dynamic particularly concerning the “abolition” of harmful practices, such as child work and prostitution.

While the majority of women are employed as bartenders or waitresses in tourist areas of Phnom Penh, outside observers tend to erroneously label them as ‘prostitutes’ or ‘broken women’ because of the gift-based nature of the intimate exchanges. Ethnographic evidence demonstrates, however, that they make up a diverse and nuanced group of individuals who engage in relationships more complex than simply ‘sex-for-cash’ exchanges, and often seek marriage and love in addition to material comforts. Though they do not view themselves as ‘prostitutes’, the distinction of the term ‘professional’ is used to emphasize that 1) they do rely on the formation of these relationships as a means of livelihood and their motivations are initially materially-based; 2) they engage in multiple overlapping transactional relationships, usually unbeknownst to their other partners; 3) there is a performance of intimacy, whereby the professed feelings of love and dedication lie somewhere on a continuum between genuine and feigned, and where the term ‘love’ itself carries multiple meanings. The research further reveals not only the stereotypes, contradictions, and structural constraints experienced by these young women, but also their entrepreneurialism, determination and creativity. Despite trauma related to recent political past, sexual violence, stigma, depression and self-harming, they use tools of global feminine youth culture, consumption, linguistic ability, ‘bar girl’ subculture, and interpersonal relationships to make socioeconomic advancements and find enjoyment in their lives. The practice of ‘intimate ethnography’ also illuminates the negotiation of intimacy and friendship between the participants and researcher, as well as the general materiality and exchange of everyday sex and relationships around the globe. | Interview | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-henry-sterry/everything-you-think-you-_b_4086449.html | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Combodia | ||||||||||

Centered largely on street prostitution zones and nations where prostitution is illegal, this literature gives insufficient attention to settings where RLDs consist of a cluster of indoor venues that are legal and regulated by the authorities. Using classic *Chicago School vice districts model* [Walter Reckless 1926] as a point of departure, this article examines the physical structure and social organization of red-light zones in 2 Belgian cities: Antwerp and Brussels. The comparative analysis identifies major differences in the social ecology of the two settings. Differences are explained by the distinctive ways in which each municipal government manages its respective RLD, which are related to the contrasting social backgrounds and political capital of the population residing in the vicinity of each district. Antwerp RLD was reinvented and renovated end of 1990 with public money. It is the antithesis to the traditional vice district as in Brussels. Differences between the 2 settings can be explained largely by the distinctive policies and practices of local officials—reform-oriented intervention, ongoing oversight, management and middle-class gentrification (Antwerp) vs laissez-faire tolerance, disregard and lower-class marginalization (Brussels).

The qualitative data were analyzed using an adapted form of *grounded theory*. It was found that client-perpetrated sexual violence within male sex work appears to be uncommon. However, when sexual violence did occur the cause was a disagreement over barebacking. Escorts’ explanations for the low level of sexual violence within this sector included (1) that gay men were non-confrontational, (2) their clients led clandestine lifestyles avoiding undue attention, and (3) comparatively, female sex workers were perceived to be more vulnerable resulting in the higher level of sexual violence within the female sex work industry. | International Journal of Sexual Health, Volume 23, Issue 1, 2011, pages 63-78. | In MSM sex work more often the client is victim of violence, when a gay4pay escort is freaking out.

Findings illuminate the intersection of 3 neoliberal governance logics: (1) a moralistic humanitarian-rescue agenda promoted by evangelical populists and police groups; (2) a juridical ‘law and rights’ logic promoted by justice-sector actors and human-rights NGOs; (3) a worker-empowerment logic articulated by the governing Workers’ Party (PT) in alliance with social-justice movements, police reformers, and prostitutes’ rights groups. Gender and race analyses map the antagonisms between these three logics of neoliberal governance, and how their incommensurabilities generate crisis in the arena of security policy.

This paper brings together extensive qualitative fieldwork from two cities in the UK to unpack the intricacies in relation to violence and safety for indoor workers. Firstly, we document the types of violence women experience in indoor venues noting how the vulnerabilities surrounding work-based hazards are dependent on the environment in which sex is sold. Secondly, we highlight the protection strategies that indoor workers and management develop to maintain safety and order in the establishment. Thirdly, we use these empirical findings to suggest that violence should be a high priority on the policy agenda. Here we contend that the organizational and cultural conditions that seem to offer some protection from violence in indoor settings could be useful for informing the management of street sex work. Finally, drawing on the crime prevention literature, we argue that it is possible to go a considerable way to designing out vulnerability in sex work, but not only through physical and organizational change but building in *respect* for sex workers rights by developing policies that promote the employment/human rights and citizenship for sex workers. This argument is made in light of the Coordinated Prostitution Strategy. | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||||||

This battle will continue to be characterised by a dispute over the legitimacy of prostitution, perpetuating a belief that prostitution is distinct to other forms of labour, and that systems of legalised prostitution are fuelling trafficking in young women and girls. It seems absurd that while the demand for sexual services is maligned and cast as the primary factor fuelling the trafficking in women, the demand for cheap clothes or fruit is rarely viewed as the cause of trafficking in the garment and agricultural industries. Over time, this perspective may change to a point where it is the exploitation of labour, rather than the labour itself, which is condemned in all industries where trafficking occurs. In the short term, we should at least be allowed to expect that policy be informed by reliable evidence, not just ideology. | Law | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Prostitution in Sweden has been (re)defined according to a *‘radical feminist’ discourse* as a form of gendered violence against women. These constructions have resulted in the *exclusion of sex workers*. *Harm reduction* initiatives are seen to endorse, encourage, and facilitate sex work, and are therefore seen to damage efforts to abolish prostitution. There is no convincing evidence that overall levels of prostitution have declined since 1999. Instead, some sex work has simply been displaced from public space by targeted policing and advances in telecommunications technologies. | Presented at the sex worker open university Sex Workers’ Rights Festival Glasgow, 6 April, 2013 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | |||||||||||

Expands on the work of Leopoldina Fortunati (The Arcane of Reproduction - Housework, Prostitution, Labor and Capital 1955). In it, she argues against Karl Marx's claim that primitive accumulation is a necessary precursor for capitalism. Instead, she posits that *primitive accumulation* is a fundamental characteristic of capitalism itself—that capitalism, in order to perpetuate itself, requires a constant infusion of *expropriated capital*. Historical struggle for the commons and the struggle for communalism. Instead of seeing capitalism as a liberatory defeat of feudalism, Federici interprets the ascent of capitalism as a reactionary move to subvert the rising tide of communalism and to retain the basic social contract. She situates the institutionalization of rape and prostitution, as well as the heretic and witch-hunt trials, burnings, and torture at the center of a *methodical subjugation of women and appropriation of their labor*. This is tied into *colonial expropriation* and provides a framework for understanding the work of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and other *proxy institutions* as engaging in a renewed cycle of primitive accumulation, by which everything held in common—from water, to seeds, to our genetic code—becomes *privatized* in what amounts to a new round of *enclosures*. | Autonomedia, Brooklyn, NY, Edition 2009 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvia_Federici | Economics | English | Global | ||||||||||

In particular, the article examines how the “discourse of disposal”—that is, media descriptions of the ongoing attempts of politicians, police, and residents’ groups to get rid of street prostitution from residential areas—contributed to a sharp increase in murders of street prostitutes in British Columbia after 1980 (average 12 sex worker murders per year in Canada). | Violence Against Women (2000), 6(9), 987-1011 | Law | English | Canada | |||||||||||
377 | English | http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?paperID=5204 | 2011 | Deadly Inertia: A History of Constitutional Challenges to Canada’s Criminal Code Sections on Prostitution | Lowman, John | This paper examines rhetoric surrounding prostitution law reform in Canada from 1970 to the present. During the 1950s and 1960s, there was very little media or political attention paid to prostitution. It was not until the mid 1970s that perceived problems with prostitution law began to surface, driven by concerns that the criminal code statute prohibiting street prostitution was not enforceable. In 1983 the Liberal government appointed the Special Committee on Pornography and Prostitution to consider options for law and policy reform. However, the Conservative government that received the report in 1985 rejected the sweeping law changes the Special Committee recommended, opting instead to rewrite the street prostitution offence. Since then the murder of somewhere between 200-300 street prostitutes has prompted renewed calls for law reform. The debate on law reform culminated in 2006 with a parliamentary review that saw all four federal political parties agreeing that Canada’s prostitution laws are “unacceptable,” but unable to agree about how to change them. The majority report held that *consenting adult prostitution* should be legal, while the minority report held that it should be prohibited. In 2007 the Standing Committee on the Status of Women recommended that Canada adopt the *Nordic model* of demand-side prohibition. As the deadlock continues, women in the street sex trade continue to be murdered. Faced with this deadly inertia, 2 groups of sex workers have challenged several Criminal Code sections relating to prostitution, arguing that they violate several of their Constitutional rights, including their right to “life, liberty and security of the person”. The paper concludes with an update on the progress of the Charter challenges now before the courts. | Beijing Law Review, 2(2), 33-54. | Law | English | Canada | |||||||||||

Foregrounding the current legality of prostitution in Canada, as well as the growing number of serial kidnap and murder cases involving sex workers nationwide, the project brings together two broader cultural debates regarding the moral and cultural legitimacy of prostitution, and the growing socioeconomic “disposability” of the poor and other culturally marginalized populations in an emergent global order. The project thus explores how contemporary Canadian culture registers the changing role of the human/e and of the urban under global capitalism. Considering current responses to the disappearance of 68 women—many of whom were street sex workers—from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Chapter 1 argues that sex workers’ traditional synecdochic relationship with the modern metropolis has become, in contemporary contexts, dangerously fraught. The gradual disintegration of such synecdoche, I argue, signifies the ongoing dissolution of *socio-political ties between the nation-state and its citizenry*. Chapter 2 considers two imagistic tropes in sex work-related media reports, then analyzes urban anti-prostitution initiatives growing out of the Vancouver case and others. I argue that such tropes and actions further reify emerging discourses of street sex workers as cultural “waste.” Chapter 3 examines sex worker activists’ interventions in such mainstream narrations. I discuss the political initiatives promoted on the websites of three major activist organizations, and explore the ways that online activism simultaneously expands and limits the cultural influence of these groups. Noting the over-representation of *First Nations women* among the victims in the Vancouver case and others, Chapter 4 examines intersections between and resistance to Canada’s violent colonial history, racist public policies, and whore stigma in contemporary culture as they converge around Aboriginal women in Canada’s inner-city sex trade. | English | Canada | |||||||||||||

It examines the apparent control adult women in sex work have over their own bodies and lives.

(in German only: Menschenhandel zum Zweck der Arbeitsausbeutung – ein Thema für Gewerkschaften?) | Pallmann, Ildikó und Anne Pawletta | Human trafficking for forced labor purposes is receiving more and more attention in the public discourse on human trafficking. In this article, we will address a number of questions regarding the work done by trade unions to counteract human trafficking for forced labor purposes, beginning with some thoughts on why unions are active in this field. What examples exist for successful union involvement? And what difficulties might prevent a stronger and more substantial commitment by unions? Many cases of human trafficking occur in sectors with a *low rate of unionization*, or areas like domestic services, which are generally difficult for unions to reach. The gap between unions and the sectors that are especially important is increased by a number of unions clinging to “old” traditional industries. Also, many of the people in question are migratory workers. In this article, we will analyze the innovative approaches used by unions to overcome these difficulties – for instance, by *organizing migratory workers in unions* or union-affiliated associations, and offering low-threshold advice for people who could be potentially affected. | pp. 177 | Community Organizing | German | Germany | |||||||||||

The report concludes that so-called “rescue” raids are not an effective way to stop trafficking in persons and in fact can be counter-productive. But they are traumatizing sex workers. Sex workers do not want to be rescued. Crime detection more depends on cooperation and notification by sex workers. Anti-trafficking efforts need to be community based. | Raid & rescue are reflecting a policy paradigm of hard to control underdogs...

9 | Anti-Trafficking | heapol.oxfordjournals.org/content/21/4/329.long | 2006 | Having the rug pulled from under your feet: one project's experience of the US policy reversal on sex work. | Busza, Joanna | After the election of President George W Bush in 2000, US government policy toward sexual and reproductive health changed dramatically. In May 2003, the Global AIDS Act was passed and prohibits allocation of US government funds to organizations that 'promote or advocate' legalization and practice of prostitution and sex trafficking. There are few documented examples of early impacts of this policy reversal on USAID-funded programmes already working with sex worker communities. This paper offers an anecdotal account of one programme in Cambodia that found itself caught in the ideological cross-fire of US politics, and describes consequent negative effects on the project's ability to offer appropriate and effective HIV prevention services to vulnerable migrant sex workers. | Health policy and planning, 21, 4, July, 329--32, | Cambodia,Financing,Government,Humans,International Cooperation,Internationality,Policy Making,Prostitution,United States,advocacy,policy,prostitution,service providers,sex work,usa | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||

Merciless Moloch of capitalism that fattens on underpaid labor. Woman treated according to the merit of her work, but rather as a sex. The economic and social inferiority of woman is responsible for prostitution. The servant girl, being treated as a drudge [Arbeitssklave], never having the right to herself, and worn out by the caprices of her mistress, can find an outlet, like the factory or shopgirl, only in prostitution. Prostitution is of religious origin. Trinity Church (Wall Street NYC). Prostitution was organized into guilds, presided over by a brothel queen. These guilds employed strikes as a medium of improving their condition and keeping a standard price. Moral spasms. To the moralist prostitution does not consist so much in the fact that the woman sells her body, but rather that she sells it out of wedlock. But as thousands of girls cannot marry, our stupid social customs condemn them either to a life of celibacy or prostitution. Society creates the victims that it afterwards vainly attempts to get rid of. Havelock Ellis quotes. Tremendous revenue the police department derives from the blood money of its victims, whom it will not even protect. The majority of prostitutes of New York City are foreigners, but that is because the majority of the population is foreign." | Full book and Sexworker Forum version | books.google.de/books?id=SJZbe0qxLboC&printsec=frontcover | sexworker.at/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=919&start=217 | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||

The proposed Bill conflates and confuses two entirely different activities (prostitution and trafficking); is premised on a narrow abolitionist perspective that in Northern Ireland draws upon strands of far right religious fundamentalism; and is out of line with policy developments occurring elsewhere in the United Kingdom. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Ireland, Nothern (United Kingdom) | ||||||||||||

If the referent object of security is the state, then countertrafficking will focus primarily on border control policies and therefore will consider trafficked persons to be criminals rather than victims. Not only does this further threaten the human rights of trafficking victims, it may also lead to a victim’s re-trafficking upon being deported into the same situation. ... Abolitionists feminists primarily address prostitution, conflating human trafficking with sex trafficking. ...

The narratives of innocent, virginal victims purveyed in the “trafficking in women” discourse are a modern version of the myth of “white slavery.” These narratives, the article argues, reflect persisting anxieties about female sexuality and women’s autonomy.

The article argues that while the myth of “trafficking in women”/”white slavery” is ostensibly about protecting women, the underlying moral concern is with the control of “loose women.” Through the denial of migrant sex workers’ agency, these discourses serve to reinforce notions of female dependence and purity that serve to further marginalise sex workers and undermine their human rights. | International Studies Convention, Washington, DC, February 16 - 20, 1999, Gender Issues, Vol. 18, no. 1, Winter 2000, pp. 23-50. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||

A “sexy” topic, human trafficking is not only susceptible to alluring, fetishistic and voyeuristic narratives, but plays into the celebrity-as-rescuer-of-the-victim ideal that receives excessive attention from media, policymakers and the public. While some celebrities may become knowledgeable enough to give responsible advice to law and policy makers, others engaging in anti-trafficking activism are neither knowledgeable enough nor using good judgment when interacting with those who make the laws and create anti-trafficking programs. But the responsibility must lie primarily with those same law and policy makers who are so slavishly devoted to using celebrity witnesses in order to satisfy their own desire to interact with celebrities. The extent to which law and policy makers are abdicating their duties to constituents and donors by allowing celebrity activists to provide them with legal and policy advice is emblematic of the larger and more general problems with funding, narratives and the shallow level of discourse in current anti-trafficking initiatives. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||||

I discuss how calls to “end trafficking, especially in women and children” are influenced by – and go on to legitimate – governmental practices to criminalize the self-willed migration of people moving without official permission. I discuss how the ideological frame of anti-trafficking works to reinforce restrictive immigration practices, shore up a nationalized consciousness of space and home, and criminalize those rendered illegal within national territories. Anti-trafficking campaigns also fail to take into account migrants’ limited agency in the migration process. I provide alternative routes to anti-trafficking campaigns by arguing for an analytical framework in which the related worldwide crises of displacement and migration are foregrounded. I argue that by centering the standpoint of undocumented migrants a more transformative politics emerges, one that demands that people be able to “stay” and to “move” in a self-determined manner. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Once in the UK, one is confronted with similar campaigns but this time of a slightly different message; a campaign such as Blue Blindfolds calls on the general public across the UK to share any suspicions or information on cases of trafficking with the police or the Home Office. During the last decade, anti-trafficking information campaigns have played a prominent part in anti-trafficking policies throughout Europe. They have for the most part been launched in migrants’ counties of origin with the idea of warning migrants about the dangers of irregular migration. Scholars have taken interest in those campaigns and argued that despite the best intentions, those campaigns aim at reducing irregular migration, encourage women to stay at home, promote stereotypes about ‘eastern’ European societies as patriarchal and crime-ridden and of women as naïve victims (Nieuwenhuys and Pécoud, 2007; Sharma, 2003). Feminist scholars have moreover put into question the category of a ‘victim’, critiqued a slippage between ‘illegal immigration’, ‘forced prostitution’, and ‘trafficking’, and argued that these conflations divert attention from the role of the state (O’Connell Davidson, 2006). | Feminist Review, 92(1), pp. 151–156 | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||||||||
44 | Anti-Trafficking | http://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/njlsp/vol8/iss2/5/ | 2012 | The Asylum Claim for Victims of Attempted Trafficking | Karvelis, Kelly | The state of the law regarding refugees in the United States has been characterized in the recent past by inconsistent rulings among the Circuit Courts, and narrow applications of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which provides the basis for asylum eligibility. In the midst of this sometimes-contradictory application of the INA, victims of attempted sex trafficking (those who have faced threats or attempts by sex traffickers to force them into sexual slavery) have consistently been rejected for asylum by U.S. courts. Federal courts have uniformly denied these asylum claims by ruling that these victims do not meet the INA’s requirement that refugees fall into a particular social group. Therefore, this Comment focuses largely on the argument that U.S. courts have interpreted the “social group” provision in an unduly narrow fashion, and that victims of attempted trafficking do indeed satisfy this element of the INA’s test for asylum eligibility. This Comment argues that U.S. courts’ rejections of these asylum claims are inconsistent with the legislative intent behind the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, federal case law that has granted asylum petitions in similar contexts, and the United Nations’ and international interpretations of refugee law. Based on these reasons and public policy concerns, U.S. courts should recognize the valid claims of many of these victims of attempted trafficking, and grant them the asylum that they deserve. | Anti-Trafficking | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

Chacó | In order to understand why the TVPA from 2001 has fallen short of its goals, the Act must be analyzed in the context of its legal antecedents: the labor, immigration and sex trafficking laws that existed prior to the TVPA and that form the bulk of the Act’s substantive provisions. This article demonstrates that long before the TVPA was enacted, legal and policy decisions were made in each of these three areas that continue to exacerbate the domestic manifestations of problem of human trafficking and the related exploitation of undocumented migrant workers. Unfortunately, Congress did not systematically revisit these laws when passing the TVPA. In fact, the TVPA incorporates many provisions of these laws with only minor changes, and fails to address many of the *perverse structural incentives* that the laws create. (1) Border interdiction strategies, (2) restrictive and punitive immigration policies and (3) insufficient labor protection for migrants interact in ways that leave exploited workers in the United States at the mercy of traffickers and abusive employers, notwithstanding the TVPA. Furthermore, the narrow understanding of trafficking that dominates domestic TVPA enforcement efforts has created (4) an over-emphasis on anti-prostitution efforts to (2) the exclusion of broader issues of worker exploitation, and has also resulted in (5) racially biased understanding and enforcement of anti-trafficking laws within the United States. Unfortunately, some of the worst impulses of U.S. anti-trafficking strategies have also been incorporated into the U.S. government’s international anti-trafficking strategies. In short, as currently enforced, the TVPA exacerbates many of the negative effects of pre-existing laws, even as it alleviates some of the political pressure to address human exploitation. | Fordham Law Review, Vol. 74, p. 2977, May 2006; UC Davis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 79; UC Irvine School of Law Research Paper No. 2009-31. | Anti-Trafficking | English | U.S.A. | |||||||||||

Instead there needs to be a shift at the policy, legal and administrative levels to reflect an understanding that the women, men and transgender people engaged in commercial sexual services are engaged in a labour process. From this labour framework, it is then possible to identify instances of forced labour and poor working conditions and enact appropriate remedies and responses while at the same time protecting the rights of sex workers and migrants. | Anti-Trafficking | English | United Kingdom | ||||||||||||

Specifically how the government aligns aspects of its anti-trafficking plans with plans to enhance extraterritorial immigration and border control. Focus on the discursive strategies that revolve around the UK’s anti-trafficking initiatives. Discourses of human trafficking as prostitution, modern-day slavery and organised crime do important work. Primarily, they provide the government with a moral platform from which it can develop its regulatory capacity overseas. Complex interrelationships exist and while the government’s interest in protecting vulnerable women from sexual exploitation may seem to be paramount. How government action to protect vulnerable women in trafficking ‘source’ and ‘transit’ countries such as development aid and repatriation schemes relate to broader legal and political concerns about protecting the UK from unwanted ‘Others’. | Fitzgerald, Sharron.

In particular, the federal, and state and territory governments have yet to take up the opportunity to link anti-trafficking efforts with initiatives aimed at improving the working conditions of workers in the sex industry. We suggest this reflects a common—but unjustified—assumption that “labour trafficking” and “sex trafficking” are distinct and different species of harm. As a result of this distinction, workers in the Australian sex industry —an industry where slavery and trafficking crimes have been detected— are missing out on a suite of potentially effective prevention interventions, and access to civil remedies. We argue that there is a need to provide practical and financial support, so that the national industrial regulator, the Fair Work Ombudsman, can work directly with sex worker advocacy groups, to examine opportunities and barriers to accessing the labour law system, particularly for migrant sex workers. | The Anti-Trafficking Review, Issue 1, 2012, pp.60-79. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Australia | |||||||||||

(in German only: Menschenhandel zum Zweck der Arbeitsausbeutung – ein Thema für Gewerkschaften?) | Pallmann, Ildikó und Anne Pawletta | Human trafficking for forced labor purposes is receiving more and more attention in the public discourse on human trafficking. In this article, we will address a number of questions regarding the work done by trade unions to counteract human trafficking for forced labor purposes, beginning with some thoughts on why unions are active in this field. What examples exist for successful union involvement? And what difficulties might prevent a stronger and more substantial commitment by unions? Many cases of human trafficking occur in sectors with a *low rate of unionization*, or areas like domestic services, which are generally difficult for unions to reach. The gap between unions and the sectors that are especially important is increased by a number of unions clinging to “old” traditional industries.

The new social science behind why you’re never able to convince friends or foes to even consider things from your side. | Horowitz, Eric (newspaper article) | The psychological barriers to evidence based policy arguments - Self-protection against threats to your self-image or self-worth. Self-affirmation—a mental exercise that increases feelings of self-worth—makes people more willing to accept threatening information. By raising or “affirming” your self-worth, you can then encounter things that lower your self-worth without a net decrease. - Information is more likely to have the desired effect if, on net, it doesn’t lower a person’s self-worth. - Humans attribute our failures to external factors (bad luck), but our success to internal factors (skill). - “Motivated reasoning”: Professional politicians are dogmatic. They disregard your proof of arguments. Even if we demand evidence based policy. - Intransigence (Kompromißlosigkeit) Our openness to information depends on how it affects self-worth - “Backfire effect”: when people are presented with corrective information that runs counter to their ideology, those who most strongly identify with the ideology will intensify their incorrect beliefs. When information presents a greater threat, it’s less likely to have an impact. - Self-imunisation: The upshot of your argument is that he has spent years supporting a set of policies that kill people. And yet he knows there’s no way that could be true because he’s a good person who wants what’s best for the world. So what you’re saying has to be false. It’s not even worth considering. - Strongest arguments are typically utilized: The arguments that are most threatening to opponents are viewed as the strongest and cited most often. Liberals are baby-killers (pro choice) while conservatives won’t let women control their own body (pro life). - Arguments or demonstrations often only have a community building effect on the own party: Each argument is game-set-match for those already partial to it, but too threatening to those who aren’t. political parties the priority is often driving activism rather than changing minds, and thus threatening arguments may be a better choice. - Stay lower than the opponent's thread threshold: Those arguments are objectively weaker, but it’s more likely to be below the threat threshold that leads to automatic rejection. It might actually be considered. Using the weakest points is a type of formal compromising with your opponents personality. That is what drives peaceful politics not creating victims or losers.

We wanted this information so that we can collectively build a social justice campaign to respond to broad systemic harm. From this, YWEP’s first youth developed, led, and analyzed research project was born. Our research questions were: 1. What individual and institutional violence do girls in the sex trade experience? 2. How do we heal/bounce back from this violence? 3. How do we resist/fight back against this violence? 4. How can we unite and collectively fight back? We answered these questions using 4 tools: we did focus groups with our membership and outreach workers, we created a fill in the blank zine so that girls could document the ways they heal and fight back, we used ethnographic observation by paying attention and writing down the experiences of our outreach contacts, and we asked new questions in our workshops about how girls take care of themselves and avoid violence. | Young Women’s Empowerment Project.

The ascription of identities by advocacy NGOs to their beneficiaries is an empirically contested phenomenon. When the allegedly weak and “voiceless” persons whom advocacy NGOs claim to represent start to defend their own interests and publicly contradict the positions advocated on their behalf, conflict between these groups arises. We observe this dynamic particularly concerning the “abolition” of harmful practices, such as child work and prostitution.

I will argue against the political efficacy of seeing rape as the fixed reality of women's lives, against an identity politics which defines women by our violability, and for a shift of scene from rape and its aftermath to rape situations themselves and to rape prevention. Many current theories of rape present rape as an inevitable material fact of life and assume that a rapist's ability to physically overcome his target is the foundation of rape.

Vohs | A heterosexual community can be analyzed as a marketplace in which men seek to acquire sex from women by offering other resources in exchange. Societies will therefore define gender roles as if women are sellers and men buyers of sex. *Societies will endow female sexuality*, but not male sexuality, with value (as in virginity, fidelity, chastity). The sexual activities of different couples are loosely interrelated by a marketplace, instead of being fully separate or private, and each couple’s decisions may be influenced by market conditions. Economic principles suggest that the price of sex will depend on supply and demand, competition among sellers, variations in product, collusion among sellers, and other factors. Research findings show *gender asymmetries* (reflecting the complementary economic roles) in prostitution, courtship, infidelity and divorce, female competition, the sexual revolution and changing norms, unequal status between partners, cultural suppression of female sexuality, abusive relationships, rape, and sexual attitudes. | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15582858 | Economics | English | Global | |||||||||||

Mediator and moderator data demonstrated that upper-class individuals’ unethical tendencies are accounted for, in part, by their more favourable attitudes toward greed. | www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.1118373109 | Video 8min (Paul Solman’s report in this video from the PBS series: Making Sen$e) | www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuqGrz-Y_Lc | Economics | English | Global | |||||||||

There is no single, “best” approach to social finance, philanthropy and foreign aid that is much in vogue today. Instead an ecosystem of democratic, institutional and commercial funding models matched to different elements of social change is needed. Each model is analyzed in terms of its strengths, weaknesses, and applicability, and key areas of under-funding are identified. The paper ends by describing a number of promising experiments that achieve the double impact of boosting support for radical changes in society while lso transforming the relationships surrounding money that currently separate donors from recipients. | Economics | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Expands on the work of Leopoldina Fortunati (The Arcane of Reproduction - Housework, Prostitution, Labor and Capital 1955). In it, she argues against Karl Marx's claim that primitive accumulation is a necessary precursor for capitalism. Instead, she posits that *primitive accumulation* is a fundamental characteristic of capitalism itself—that capitalism, in order to perpetuate itself, requires a constant infusion of *expropriated capital*. Historical struggle for the commons and the struggle for communalism. Instead of seeing capitalism as a liberatory defeat of feudalism, Federici interprets the ascent of capitalism as a reactionary move to subvert the rising tide of communalism and to retain the basic social contract. She situates the institutionalization of rape and prostitution, as well as the heretic and witch-hunt trials, burnings, and torture at the center of a *methodical subjugation of women and appropriation of their labor*. This is tied into *colonial expropriation* and provides a framework for understanding the work of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and other *proxy institutions* as engaging in a renewed cycle of primitive accumulation, by which everything held in common—from water, to seeds, to our genetic code—becomes *privatized* in what amounts to a new round of *enclosures*. | Autonomedia, Brooklyn, NY, Edition 2009 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvia_Federici | Economics | English | Global | ||||||||||

This is notwithstanding global evidence of the multiple harms faced by this population, including high rates of violence and poverty, and enhanced vulnerabilities to HIV transmission among women who smoke or inject drugs. In response, a participatory-action research project was developed in partnership with a local sex work agency to examine the HIV-related vulnerabilities, barriers to accessing care, and impact of current prevention and harm reduction strategies among women in survival sex work. This paper provides a brief background of the health and drug-related harms among substance-using women in survival sex work, and outlines the development and methodology of a community-based HIV prevention research project partnership. In doing so, we discuss some of the strengths and challenges of community-based HIV prevention research, as well as some key ethical considerations, in the context of street-level sex work in an urban setting. | Harm reduction journal, 4, January, 20 | Health, STI/HIV | English | Canada | |||||||||||

Women in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES) are highly marginalized and struggle with multiple morbidities, unstable housing, addiction, survival sex, and elevated risk of sexual and drug-related harms, including HIV infection. Although recent studies have identified the heightened risk of HIV infection among women engaged in sex work and injection drug use, the uptake of HIV care among this population has received little attention. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the needs of women engaged in survival sex work and to assess utilization and acceptance of HAART. During November 2003, a baseline needs assessment was conducted among 159 women through a low-threshold drop-in centre servicing street-level sex workers in Vancouver. Cross-sectional data were used to describe the sociodemographic characteristics, drug use patterns, HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing and status, and attitudes towards HAART. High rates of cocaine injection, heroin injection, and smokeable crack cocaine use reflect the vulnerable and chaotic nature of this population. Although preliminary findings suggest an overall high uptake of health and social services, there was limited attention to HIV care with only 9\% of the women on HAART. Self-reported barriers to accessing treatment were largely attributed to misinformation and misconceptions about treatment. Given the acceptability of accessing HAART through community interventions and women specific services, this study highlights the potential to reach this highly marginalized group and provides valuable baseline information on a population that has remained largely outside consistent HIV care. | Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 82, 3, September, 488--97, | Adult,Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active,Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active: utilization,Canada,Canada: epidemiology,Community Health Services,Community Health Services: supply distribution,Community Health Services: utilization,Female,HIV Infections,HIV Infections: epidemiology,HIV Infections: therapy,Health Services Accessibility,Hepatitis C,Hepatitis C: epidemiology,Humans,Middle Aged,Poverty Areas,Prostitution,Substance-Related Disorders,Substance-Related Disorders: epidemiology,Urban Population | Health, STI/HIV | English | Canada | ||||||||||

However service coverage levels for HIV prevention services among sex workers are low (generally <50%). HIV prevention services for male and transgender sex workers are almost non-existent, as are programs for male clients. • Where sex worker rights organizations have partnered effectively with government the response to HIV among sex workers has been particularly effective and sustainable. This has meant prevention services which involve significant sex worker leadership in their design and implementation and which attend to structural barriers to safe sex. • Empowerment-based, comprehensive HIV prevention among sex workers is cost-effective, particularly in higher prevalence settings where it becomes cost-saving. The cost per client for the intervention ranges from $102 to $184, with United Kingdomraine having the lowest and Brazil the highest cost per client. Labor costs are the major expense, and account for the majority of variation across countries. • Violence, stigma and discrimination against sex workers are extremely prevalent. Addressing violence, stigma and discrimination against sex workers is also a human rights imperative. • There is a good justification based on the analyses presented herein to more equitably allocate HIV prevention funding to interventions focused on sex workers, such as the comprehensive community empowerment intervention. | Health, STI/HIV | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Sex workers were particularly sensitive to being identified and belittled within the health care environment. Demand-side barriers also featured, including competing time commitments and costs of transport and some treatment, reflecting SWs' marginalised socio-economic position. Conclusion: Improving treatment access for SWs is critical for their own health, programme equity, and public health benefit. Programmes working to reduce SW attrition from HIV care need to proactively address the quality and environment of public services. Sensitising health workers through specialised training, refining referral systems from sex-worker friendly clinics into the national system, and providing opportunities for SW to collectively organise for improved treatment and rights might help alleviate the barriers to treatment initiation and attention currently faced by SW. | Health, STI/HIV | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Physical and sexual violence were prevalent, with 43% reporting past-month abuse. *Clients* were the primary perpetrators; their violence was severe, compromised women's condom and sexual negotiation, and included forced and coerced anal intercourse. Sex work was a factor in intimate partner violence. *Police abuse* was largely an exploitation of power imbalances for coerced sex. Findings affirm the need to address physical and sexual violence, particularly that perpetrated by clients, as a social determinant of health for women in sex work, as well as a threat to safety and wellbeing, and a contextual barrier to HIV risk reduction. | Health, STI/HIV | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

In 2001, Germany also made an attempt to adopt a similar concept as part of a reformed police registration system for so-called ‘politically motivated offences’, focusing predominantly on right-wing extremist crime. However, hate crime is a category which is open to selective interpretations and subjective judgments and to date there are still large empirical deficiencies regarding the identification and classification processes applied by the German police. High levels of ambiguity, uncertainty and arbitrariness initiate a debate surrounding the validity of official hate crime statistics in Germany and reveal a large potential for conflict when it comes to the definition and registration of xenophobic violence and other forms of hate-motivated crime. In this respect, it seems indispensible to carefully evaluate the implementation of the hate crime concept into Germany’s law enforcement system and to analyze current trends and developments, in order to provide valid data on the qualitative and quantitative nature of hate crime incidents in German society. | Law | English | Germany | ||||||||||||

Abel and Lisa J. Fitzgerald, Cheryl Bruton | In 2003, New Zealand decriminalised sex work through the enactment of the Prostitution Reform Act. Many opponents to this legislation predicted that there would be increasing numbers of people entering sex work, especially in the street-based sector. The debates within the New Zealand media following the legislation were predominantly moralistic and there were calls for the recriminalisation of the street-based sector. This study estimated the number of sex workers post-decriminalisation in 5 locations in New Zealand: the 3 main cities in which sex work takes place as well as two smaller cities. These estimations were compared to existing estimations prior to and at the time of decriminalisation. The research suggests that the Prostitution Reform Act has had little impact on the number of people working in the sex industry. | Jnl Soc.

Rhode Island District Court judge unexpectedly decriminalized indoor prostitution in 2003. This provides us the first causal estimates of the impact of decriminalization on the composition of the sex market, rape offenses, and population sexually transmitted infection outcomes. Not surprisingly, we find that decriminalization increased the size of the indoor market. However, somewhat unexpectedly, we find that decriminalization caused both forcible rape offenses and gonorrhea incidence to decline for the overall population. Our synthetic control model finds 824 fewer reported rape offenses and 1,035 fewer cases of female gonorrhea from 2004 to 2009. The combined benefits of 6 years of decriminalization are estimated to be approximately $200 million. Decriminalization appears to benefit the population at large, especially women|and not just sex workers. | Law | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||||

It identifies gaps that exist between ‘laws on the books’ and ‘laws on the streets’. Recommendations: greater investments to enhance legal protections for people living with HIV and key populations, such as men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender people and people who use drugs, through strengthened engagement of parliamentarians, judiciary, police, lawyers, national human rights bodies and other key institutions. In support of these actions, donors, including the Global Fund, should promote and allocate greater resources to support government and civil society programming on HIV-related human rights programming. Additionally, national HIV strategies and plans should include specific targeted actions for the legal sector, including law reform, provision of legal aid services and education of people living with HIV, lawyers and the judiciary on HIV-related rights issues. | Law | English | Asia | ||||||||||||

This battle will continue to be characterised by a dispute over the legitimacy of prostitution, perpetuating a belief that prostitution is distinct to other forms of labour, and that systems of legalised prostitution are fuelling trafficking in young women and girls. It seems absurd that while the demand for sexual services is maligned and cast as the primary factor fuelling the trafficking in women, the demand for cheap clothes or fruit is rarely viewed as the cause of trafficking in the garment and agricultural industries. Over time, this perspective may change to a point where it is the exploitation of labour, rather than the labour itself, which is condemned in all industries where trafficking occurs. In the short term, we should at least be allowed to expect that policy be informed by reliable evidence, not just ideology. | Law | English | Global | ||||||||||||

The analysis reveals the relationships among media, law, political hypocrisy, and violence against street prostitutes. In particular, the article examines how the “discourse of disposal”—that is, media descriptions of the ongoing attempts of politicians, police, and residents’ groups to get rid of street prostitution from residential areas—contributed to a sharp increase in murders of street prostitutes in British Columbia after 1980 (average 12 sex worker murders per year in Canada). | Violence Against Women (2000), 6(9), 987-1011 | Law | English | Canada | |||||||||||
219 | Law | http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?paperID=5204 | 2011 | Deadly Inertia: A History of Constitutional Challenges to Canada’s Criminal Code Sections on Prostitution | Lowman, John | This paper examines rhetoric surrounding prostitution law reform in Canada from 1970 to the present. During the 1950s and 1960s, there was very little media or political attention paid to prostitution. It was not until the mid 1970s that perceived problems with prostitution law began to surface, driven by concerns that the criminal code statute prohibiting street prostitution was not enforceable. In 1983 the Liberal government appointed the Special Committee on Pornography and Prostitution to consider options for law and policy reform. However, the Conservative government that received the report in 1985 rejected the sweeping law changes the Special Committee recommended, opting instead to rewrite the street prostitution offence. Since then the murder of somewhere between 200-300 street prostitutes has prompted renewed calls for law reform. The debate on law reform culminated in 2006 with a parliamentary review that saw all four federal political parties agreeing that Canada’s prostitution laws are “unacceptable,” but unable to agree about how to change them. The majority report held that *consenting adult prostitution* should be legal, while the minority report held that it should be prohibited. In 2007 the Standing Committee on the Status of Women recommended that Canada adopt the *Nordic model* of demand-side prohibition. As the deadlock continues, women in the street sex trade continue to be murdered. Faced with this deadly inertia, 2 groups of sex workers have challenged several Criminal Code sections relating to prostitution, arguing that they violate several of their Constitutional rights, including their right to “life, liberty and security of the person”. The paper concludes with an update on the progress of the Charter challenges now before the courts. | Beijing Law Review, 2(2), 33-54. | Law | English | Canada | |||||||||||

The market is clearly highly racialized. How can immigration status make it easier not only to recruit domestic workers, but also to retain them as additional means of control? ‘Foreignness’ may also make the management of the employment relation easier with employers anxious to discover a coincidence of interest with the worker. Employers are not only looking for generic ‘foreignness’ however, but typically also seek particular nationalities or ethnicities of worker, which can raise difficulties for agencies who are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of ‘race’. ... The immigration status of ‘au pair’ can function as a means, that the migrant is seen not as a worker at all. This can help nationals employers imagine private work as an opportunity rather than drudgery, and themselves as benefactors as well as employers. | European Journal of Women’s Studies, Vol. 14(3): 247–264 | Racism and precarious migration status as means to establish distinction profits by locals. | www.compas.ox.ac.United Kingdom | Migration | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||

Some media depicted Norwegian men as victims of the ‘nasty’ Nigerian women, and the Norwegian women. “The discussion about human trafficking swept everything else out of the way”. Norway then enacted the Sex Purchase Act 2009 after a period of trafficking and migration fears. Paper: "The development of Norwegian prostitution policies" in: Sexuality Research and Social Policy no. 3.12. Much of the literature on prostitution is unusable for research purposes because it is difficult to know if the conclusions are derived from the data or from the researcher’s political position. The view on prostitution is a cultural expression about unequal power relationships, but only addressing a symptom not the reason of poverty or inequality. | Politics | English | Norway | ||||||||||||

We identify “lack of recognition as a person before the law” as an important but undocumented barrier to accessing services and conclude that multi-faceted, setting-specific reform is needed—rather than a singular focus on decriminalization—if the health and human rights of sex workers are to be realized. Lack of Legal Personality: criminalisation of drug use, gender transgression, and HIV transmission. Prevents sex workers from making the same claims as other on office holder, employers, and service providers. Criminal records, the inability to obtain goods and services, stigma, and the ensuing erosion of confidence, combine to ensure that many sex workers remain socially excluded; this makes them likely to stay in the sex industry into old age. ... “Tanbazar” case 2001: Bangladesh Society for the Enforcement of Human Rights v Bangladesh.

251 | Politics | http://www.specialcollections.uws.ac.uk/documents/AbelgillianPhDnewzealand.pdf | 2010 | Decriminalisation: A harm minimisation and human rights approach to regulating sex work | Gillian Abel (Ph.D. Thesis, University of Otago, Public Health Research) | This thesis takes a community-based participatory approach, using mixed methods to examine the impact of the decriminalisation of sex work in New Zealand through the lens of a public health discourse of harm minimisation. The key question addressed in this thesis is whether decriminalisation has minimised the harms experienced by sex workers. Rather than taking a narrow view of harm minimisation and looking merely at the practices of sex workers, I have taken a more holistic stance, taking into account structural social issues which contribute to the health and wellbeing of sex workers. Data were collected through a survey of 772 sex workers. Minimal change in the size of the sex industry is not surprising as the underlying motivations for working in this industry have not changed in a decriminalised environment. As this thesis demonstrates, structural factors (such as economic climate, employment opportunities, welfare, housing and sickness benefits) are associated with the entry into sex work rather than the way the industry is regulated. Theories of social exclusion and stigma are utilised in the thesis to show how sex workers have been cast predominantly as a deviant population, associated with disease, crime and drugs. The media often make use of these associations in reporting on sex workers, which leads to heightened public anxiety and campaigns to exclude sex workers from society. Even in a decriminalised environment in New Zealand, such campaigns continue, which has meant that although decriminalisation has given sex workers in New Zealand human rights, they continue to experience stigmatisation. This thesis found that sex workers have poorer self-reported mental health than the general population of New Zealand and some of this poorer perceived mental health could be due to their ongoing stigmatisation. This is not to say that decriminalisation has not been a success. As this thesis demonstrates, sex workers in New Zealand have more control over their work environment, including their safety and their sexual health, since the passing of the Prostitution Reform Act (2003). The Act has given them legal, employment and occupational health and safety rights which has made it easier to negotiate services and safer sex with clients, has made it easier for managed sex workers to refuse to see certain clients without penalties from management and has improved the relationship between sex workers and police. The fact that sex workers can make use of the law has given them a sense of legitimacy and respectability which was absent under laws that criminalised them. The provision of human rights to sex workers through the decriminalisation of the sex industry has led to the minimisation of harm to New Zealand sex workers. | Politics | English | New Zealand | ||||||||||||

In Paris in 2003 a street prohibition was introduced, against both clients and soliciting persons; in Stockholm in 1999 buyers of sexual services have been criminalized, in Amsterdam in 2000 prostitution has been configured as a trade but only to Dutch or E.U. citizens. In Madrid from 1995 to 2003 there has been a period of depenalization of organizing prostitution indoors, preceded and followed by a de facto tolerance towards the “cludes de alterne” and the other venues where prostitution takes place. All these cities have problems similar to those of Italian cities where foreign women migrating from impoverished countries have come to offer sex in the streets, with the social stigma and rejection that encountered their arrival in public spaces. Worries about the “trafficking of human beings” has also been a major component of law changes that in these countries have been proposed and approved. The research presented in the volume shows how the different policies converge towards common practices: waves of anti-foreign women repression, subsequent re-organization (in worse conditions) of street prostitution, difficulties in making contact with victims of trafficking, de facto tolerance. | Politics | English | Europe | ||||||||||||

Exploring the militarization of public security in Rio de Janeiro during 2003–08 around campaigns to stop the ‘trafficking’ of sex workers. Findings illuminate the intersection of 3 neoliberal governance logics: (1) a moralistic humanitarian-rescue agenda promoted by evangelical populists and police groups; (2) a juridical ‘law and rights’ logic promoted by justice-sector actors and human-rights NGOs; (3) a worker-empowerment logic articulated by the governing Workers’ Party (PT) in alliance with social-justice movements, police reformers, and prostitutes’ rights groups. Gender and race analyses map the antagonisms between these three logics of neoliberal governance, and how their incommensurabilities generate crisis in the arena of security policy. By exploring Brazil’s fraught efforts to attain the status of ‘human security superpower’ through these interventions, the article challenges the view that the reordering of security politics in the global south is inevitably linked to desecularization, disempowerment, and militarization. | Security Dialogue 2009 40: 513 | Politics | English | Brasil | |||||||||||

It examines the apparent control adult women in sex work have over their own bodies and lives. Although it is true that unless acting collectively, they are less successful in confronting organised criminal gangs and the brutal side of law enforcers, most of them boldly confront sexual relations with individual male clients and men from their own community. | IDS Bulletin, 45: 46–52. doi: 10.1111/1759-5436.12067 | Politics | English | India | |||||||||||

The study examined sexual risk between these two groups of men, and the significance of the economic exchanges involved in their sexual interactions. Using a Grounded Theory approach, 23 individual interviews and 7 focus groups were analyzed. The results reveal that cultural, economic and gender factors mold sexual and social relations among a group of men who have sex with men in Peru. Compensated sex is part of the behaviors of these men, reflecting a complicated construction of sexuality based on traditional conceptions of gender roles, sexual identity and masculinity. Several factors (e.g. difficulty in negotiating condom use, low self-esteem, low risk perception, alcohol and drug consumption), in the context of compensated sex, play a role in risk-taking for HIV infection. | Sexualities, 11, 3, June, 352-374 | peru,prostitution,queer,sex work,sugardaddy | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Peru | ||||||||||

How do we theorize sex performance? How do we produce new body- and sex-technologies? How do we celebrate critical pleasures? How do we analyze and criticize without censorship? Why affirm the fetish? Why sexualize alienation? How do we intensify the relation between theory and practice? Why is power sexy? Why is the body a victim of capitalist commodification? Why don´t we perform and show sex differently, instead of idealizing a way back to nature? The concept called "post-porn" was invented by erotic photographer Wink van Kempen and made popular by sexwork-activist and performance artist Annie M. Sprinkle. It claimed a new status of sexual representation: Through identifying with critical joy and agancy while deconstructing its hetero/normative and naturalising conditions, Sprinkle made us think of sex as a category open for use and appropriation of queer_feminist counter-pleasures beyond the victimising framework of censorship and taboo. | He decided to pass away Mai 2013.

As part of a larger project examining male escorts working for a single agency, MSWs (n = 38) were interviewed about their work and personal lives. MSWs developed more self-efficacy around sex work behaviors and more positive outcome expectations with experience; moral conflict and lack of attraction to clients limited MSWs' self-efficacy. Key variables for sex work appeared to be cognitive in nature-mostly represented by a *decreased commitment to normative social/sexual values*, the specific nature of which may have varied by *sexual orientation*. Findings support the contention that *social-cognitive theory can effectively model entry of young men into sex work*. Social-cognitive theory provides a broad umbrella underneath which various explanations for male sex work can be gathered. | Abstract only: | http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22880726 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | U.S.A. | ||||||||||

Too often in this area, the canons of scientific inquiry are suspended and research deliberately skewed to serve a particular political agenda. Much of this work has been done by writers who regard the sex industry as a despicable institution and who are active in campaigns to abolish it. In this commentary, I examine several theoretical and methodological flaws in this literature, both generally and with regard to three recent articles in Violence Against Women. The articles in question are by Jody Raphael and Deborah Shapiro (2004), Melissa Farley (2004), and Janice Raymond (2004).

In order to address this gender imbalance some feminists have advocated the enforcement and/or strengthening of kerb crawling legislation and other schemes that *target men* who pay for sex. During 1998–9 one initiative, which aimed to target men who pay for sex in the UK, the Kerb Crawler Rehabilitation Programme (KCRP), was piloted in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Although the KCRP received considerable media coverage there has been relatively little critical debate among feminists about this approach to working with clients of sex workers. This article draws attention to some of the opposition to the Leeds KCRP. | Feminist Review No. 67, Sex Work Reassessed (Spring, 2001), pp. 94-108 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | United Kingdom | |||||||||||

In recent times, sex workers have begun to demand appropriate payment from researchers who need our assistance and have critiqued research that is sloppy or morally biased. Horror stories exist within sex worker communities of lives ruined and discriminatory laws made as a result of outsiders researching and reporting on our activities. Positive research experiences are few and far between, but we are determined to create them by leading our own research and having input into the research projects of others in formative stages. In order to create a more reflexive practice, non-sex worker researchers must better interrogate their own motives for researching sex work, and sex workers must be positioned as active, not passive, voices in research about our work. This paper discusses proven best practice ways of involving sex workers so as to produce better quality research that informs law-making, policy, wellbeing and other regulatory outcomes. The paper is based upon the August 2009 International Sex Worker Think Tank on Research, and parts of this paper were originally presented at the National Centre for HIV Social Research conference at UNSW in April 2010. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||||||||

Peppet, Professor of Law, University of Colorado Law School | Novel approach to prostitution reform focused on incremental market improvement facilitated by information law and policy. Empirical evidence from the economics and sociology of sex work shows that new, Internet-enabled, indoor forms of prostitution may be healthier, less violent, and more rewarding than traditional street prostitution. This Article argues that these existing “Prostitution 2.0” innovations have not yet improved sex markets sufficiently to warrant legalization. It suggests that creating a new “Prostitution 3.0” that solves the remaining problems of disease, violence, and coercion in prostitution markets is possible, but would require removing legal barriers to ongoing technological innovation in this context, such as state laws criminalizing technologies that “advance prostitution.” This Article considers what Prostitution 3.0 might entail, how it might be created, and whether it would succeed in remedying the ongoing problems in prostitution markets. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||||||||

This situation has had an extreme impact on the physical, mental and social wellbeing of this population. Overall, the article details the multiple effects of sex work criminalisation on the everyday lives of sex workers and on their social interactions and relationships. Underlying their stories, however, are narratives of resilience and resistance. Sex workers in our study draw on their own individual survival strategies and informal forms of support and very occasionally opt to seek recourse through formal channels. They generally recognize the benefits of *unified actions* in assisting them to counter risks in their environment and mobilise against human rights violations, but note how the fluctuant and stigmatised nature of their profession often undermines collective action. Conclusions: While criminal laws urgently need reform, supporting sex work self-organisation and community-building are key interim strategies for safeguarding sex workers’ human rights and improving health outcomes in these communities. If developed at sufficient scale and intensity, sex work organisations could play a critical role in reducing the present harms caused by criminalisation and stigma. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Africa | ||||||||||||

While the majority of women are employed as bartenders or waitresses in tourist areas of Phnom Penh, outside observers tend to erroneously label them as ‘prostitutes’ or ‘broken women’ because of the gift-based nature of the intimate exchanges. Ethnographic evidence demonstrates, however, that they make up a diverse and nuanced group of individuals who engage in relationships more complex than simply ‘sex-for-cash’ exchanges, and often seek marriage and love in addition to material comforts. Though they do not view themselves as ‘prostitutes’, the distinction of the term ‘professional’ is used to emphasize that 1) they do rely on the formation of these relationships as a means of livelihood and their motivations are initially materially-based; 2) they engage in multiple overlapping transactional relationships, usually unbeknownst to their other partners; 3) there is a performance of intimacy, whereby the professed feelings of love and dedication lie somewhere on a continuum between genuine and feigned, and where the term ‘love’ itself carries multiple meanings. The research further reveals not only the stereotypes, contradictions, and structural constraints experienced by these young women, but also their entrepreneurialism, determination and creativity. Despite trauma related to recent political past, sexual violence, stigma, depression and self-harming, they use tools of global feminine youth culture, consumption, linguistic ability, ‘bar girl’ subculture, and interpersonal relationships to make socioeconomic advancements and find enjoyment in their lives. The practice of ‘intimate ethnography’ also illuminates the negotiation of intimacy and friendship between the participants and researcher, as well as the general materiality and exchange of everyday sex and relationships around the globe. | Interview | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-henry-sterry/everything-you-think-you-_b_4086449.html | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Combodia | ||||||||||

Centered largely on street prostitution zones and nations where prostitution is illegal, this literature gives insufficient attention to settings where RLDs consist of a cluster of indoor venues that are legal and regulated by the authorities. Using classic *Chicago School vice districts model* [Walter Reckless 1926] as a point of departure, this article examines the physical structure and social organization of red-light zones in 2 Belgian cities: Antwerp and Brussels. The comparative analysis identifies major differences in the social ecology of the two settings. Differences are explained by the distinctive ways in which each municipal government manages its respective RLD, which are related to the contrasting social backgrounds and political capital of the population residing in the vicinity of each district. Antwerp RLD was reinvented and renovated end of 1990 with public money. It is the antithesis to the traditional vice district as in Brussels. Differences between the 2 settings can be explained largely by the distinctive policies and practices of local officials—reform-oriented intervention, ongoing oversight, management and middle-class gentrification (Antwerp) vs laissez-faire tolerance, disregard and lower-class marginalization (Brussels).

The qualitative data were analyzed using an adapted form of *grounded theory*. It was found that client-perpetrated sexual violence within male sex work appears to be uncommon. However, when sexual violence did occur the cause was a disagreement over barebacking. Escorts’ explanations for the low level of sexual violence within this sector included (1) that gay men were non-confrontational, (2) their clients led clandestine lifestyles avoiding undue attention, and (3) comparatively, female sex workers were perceived to be more vulnerable resulting in the higher level of sexual violence within the female sex work industry. | International Journal of Sexual Health, Volume 23, Issue 1, 2011, pages 63-78. | In MSM sex work more often the client is victim of violence, when a gay4pay escort is freaking out. Typically the sex worker is the physically stronger party. But very young, boyish escorts can experience violence similar known to female sex workers. Gay and trans* sex workers experience violence form the community (hate crime).

Prostitution in Sweden has been (re)defined according to a *‘radical feminist’ discourse* as a form of gendered violence against women. These constructions have resulted in the *exclusion of sex workers*. *Harm reduction* initiatives are seen to endorse, encourage, and facilitate sex work, and are therefore seen to damage efforts to abolish prostitution.

North Texas) | Rape fantasies of a female undergraduate sample (N = 355) using a sexual fantasy checklist, a sexual fantasy log, a rape fantasy scenario presentation, and measures of personality. Results indicated that 62% of women have had a rape fantasy. Median rape fantasy frequency was about four times per year, with 14% of participants reporting that they had rape fantasies at least once a week. Rape fantasies exist on a continuum between erotic and aversive, with 9% completely aversive, 45% completely erotic, and 46% both erotic and aversive. Women who are more erotophilic, open to fantasy, and higher in self-esteem tended to have more frequent and erotic rape fantasies than other women. The major theories that have been proposed to explain why women have rape fantasies were tested. Results indicated that sexual blame avoidance and ovulation theories were not supported. Openness to sexuality, sexual desirability, and sympathetic activation theories received partial support. | Sexology | English | Global | ||||||||||||

We predicted that, among men who perform cunnilingus on their partner, those at greater risk of *sperm competition* are more likely to perform cunnilingus until their partner achieves orgasm (Prediction 1), and that, among men who ejaculate during penile-vaginal intercourse and whose partner experiences a cunnilingus-assisted orgasm, ejaculation will occur during the brief period in which female orgasm might function to retain sperm (Prediction 2). The results support Prediction 1 but not Prediction 2.

Some have suggested that those who have difficulty downregulating their sexual desires be diagnosed as having a sexual “addiction”. However, such symptoms also may be better understood as a non-pathological variation of high sexual desire. Hypersexuals are thought to be relatively sexual reward sensitized, but also to have high exposure to visual sexual stimuli. If individuals exhibit habituation, their P300 amplitude to sexual stimuli should be diminished; if they merely have high sexual desire, their P300 amplitude to sexual stimuli should be increased. Neural responsivity to sexual stimuli in a sample of hypersexuals could differentiate these two competing explanations of symptoms. 52 (13 female) individuals viewed emotional photographs while electroencephalography was collected. Larger P300 amplitude differences to pleasant sexual stimuli, relative to neutral stimuli, was negatively related to measures of sexual desire, but not related to measures of hypersexuality. | Huffington Post: Sex Addiction Does Not Appear To Be A Disorder, UCLA Study Says | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/19/sex-addiction-not-disorder-ucla_n_3624393.html | Sexology | English | Global | ||||||||||

Thomas (City College NY) | This article explores how the efficiency of Internet search is changing the way Americans find romantic partners. We use a new data source, the How Couples Meet and Stay Together survey. Results show that for 60 years, family and grade school have been steadily declining in their influence over the *dating market*. In the past 15 years, the rise of the Internet has partly displaced not only family and school, but also neighborhood, friends, and the workplace as venues for meeting partners. The Internet increasingly allows Americans to meet and form relationships with perfect strangers, that is, people with whom they had no previous social tie. Individuals who face a thin market for potential partners, such as gays, lesbians, and middle-aged heterosexuals, are especially likely to meet partners online. One result of the increasing importance of the Internet in meeting partners is that adults with Internet access at home are substantially more likely to have partners, even after controlling for other factors.

This paper brings together extensive qualitative fieldwork from two cities in the UK to unpack the intricacies in relation to violence and safety for indoor workers. Firstly, we document the types of violence women experience in indoor venues noting how the vulnerabilities surrounding work-based hazards are dependent on the environment in which sex is sold. Secondly, we highlight the protection strategies that indoor workers and management develop to maintain safety and order in the establishment. Thirdly, we use these empirical findings to suggest that violence should be a high priority on the policy agenda. Here we contend that the organizational and cultural conditions that seem to offer some protection from violence in indoor settings could be useful for informing the management of street sex work. Finally, drawing on the crime prevention literature, we argue that it is possible to go a considerable way to designing out vulnerability in sex work, but not only through physical and organizational change but building in *respect* for sex workers rights by developing policies that promote the employment/human rights and citizenship for sex workers. This argument is made in light of the Coordinated Prostitution Strategy. | English | United Kingdom | ||||||||||||||

Foregrounding the current legality of prostitution in Canada, as well as the growing number of serial kidnap and murder cases involving sex workers nationwide, the project brings together two broader cultural debates regarding the moral and cultural legitimacy of prostitution, and the growing socioeconomic “disposability” of the poor and other culturally marginalized populations in an emergent global order. The project thus explores how contemporary Canadian culture registers the changing role of the human/e and of the urban under global capitalism. Considering current responses to the disappearance of 68 women—many of whom were street sex workers—from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Chapter 1 argues that sex workers’ traditional synecdochic relationship with the modern metropolis has become, in contemporary contexts, dangerously fraught. The gradual disintegration of such synecdoche, I argue, signifies the ongoing dissolution of *socio-political ties between the nation-state and its citizenry*. Chapter 2 considers two imagistic tropes in sex work-related media reports, then analyzes urban anti-prostitution initiatives growing out of the Vancouver case and others. I argue that such tropes and actions further reify emerging discourses of street sex workers as cultural “waste.” Chapter 3 examines sex worker activists’ interventions in such mainstream narrations. I discuss the political initiatives promoted on the websites of three major activist organizations, and explore the ways that online activism simultaneously expands and limits the cultural influence of these groups. Noting the over-representation of *First Nations women* among the victims in the Vancouver case and others, Chapter 4 examines intersections between and resistance to Canada’s violent colonial history, racist public policies, and whore stigma in contemporary culture as they converge around Aboriginal women in Canada’s inner-city sex trade. | English | Canada | ||||||||||||||

In May 2003, the Global AIDS Act was passed and prohibits allocation of US government funds to organizations that 'promote or advocate' legalization and practice of prostitution and sex trafficking. There are few documented examples of early impacts of this policy reversal on USAID-funded programmes already working with sex worker communities. This paper offers an anecdotal account of one programme in Cambodia that found itself caught in the ideological cross-fire of US politics, and describes consequent negative effects on the project's ability to offer appropriate and effective HIV prevention services to vulnerable migrant sex workers. | Health policy and planning, 21, 4, July, 329--32, | Cambodia,Financing,Government,Humans,International Cooperation,Internationality,Policy Making,Prostitution,United States,advocacy,policy,prostitution,service providers,sex work,usa | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||

The study examined sexual risk between these two groups of men, and the significance of the economic exchanges involved in their sexual interactions. Using a Grounded Theory approach, 23 individual interviews and 7 focus groups were analyzed. The results reveal that cultural, economic and gender factors mold sexual and social relations among a group of men who have sex with men in Peru. Compensated sex is part of the behaviors of these men, reflecting a complicated construction of sexuality based on traditional conceptions of gender roles, sexual identity and masculinity. Several factors (e.g. difficulty in negotiating condom use, low self-esteem, low risk perception, alcohol and drug consumption), in the context of compensated sex, play a role in risk-taking for HIV infection. | Sexualities, 11, 3, June, 352-374 | peru,prostitution,queer,sex work,sugardaddy | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Peru | ||||

This is notwithstanding global evidence of the multiple harms faced by this population, including high rates of violence and poverty, and enhanced vulnerabilities to HIV transmission among women who smoke or inject drugs. In response, a participatory-action research project was developed in partnership with a local sex work agency to examine the HIV-related vulnerabilities, barriers to accessing care, and impact of current prevention and harm reduction strategies among women in survival sex work. This paper provides a brief background of the health and drug-related harms among substance-using women in survival sex work, and outlines the development and methodology of a community-based HIV prevention research project partnership. In doing so, we discuss some of the strengths and challenges of community-based HIV prevention research, as well as some key ethical considerations, in the context of street-level sex work in an urban setting. | Harm reduction journal, 4, January, 20 | Health, STI/HIV | English | Canada | |||||

Women in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES) are highly marginalized and struggle with multiple morbidities, unstable housing, addiction, survival sex, and elevated risk of sexual and drug-related harms, including HIV infection. Although recent studies have identified the heightened risk of HIV infection among women engaged in sex work and injection drug use, the uptake of HIV care among this population has received little attention. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the needs of women engaged in survival sex work and to assess utilization and acceptance of HAART. During November 2003, a baseline needs assessment was conducted among 159 women through a low-threshold drop-in centre servicing street-level sex workers in Vancouver. Cross-sectional data were used to describe the sociodemographic characteristics, drug use patterns, HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing and status, and attitudes towards HAART. High rates of cocaine injection, heroin injection, and smokeable crack cocaine use reflect the vulnerable and chaotic nature of this population. Although preliminary findings suggest an overall high uptake of health and social services, there was limited attention to HIV care with only 9\% of the women on HAART. Self-reported barriers to accessing treatment were largely attributed to misinformation and misconceptions about treatment. Given the acceptability of accessing HAART through community interventions and women specific services, this study highlights the potential to reach this highly marginalized group and provides valuable baseline information on a population that has remained largely outside consistent HIV care. | Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 82, 3, September, 488--97, | Adult,Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active,Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active: utilization,Canada,Canada: epidemiology,Community Health Services,Community Health Services: supply distribution,Community Health Services: utilization,Female,HIV Infections,HIV Infections: epidemiology,HIV Infections: therapy,Health Services Accessibility,Hepatitis C,Hepatitis C: epidemiology,Humans,Middle Aged,Poverty Areas,Prostitution,Substance-Related Disorders,Substance-Related Disorders: epidemiology,Urban Population | Health, STI/HIV | English | Canada | ||||

Merciless Moloch of capitalism that fattens on underpaid labor. Woman treated according to the merit of her work, but rather as a sex. The economic and social inferiority of woman is responsible for prostitution. The servant girl, being treated as a drudge [Arbeitssklave], never having the right to herself, and worn out by the caprices of her mistress, can find an outlet, like the factory or shopgirl, only in prostitution. Prostitution is of religious origin. Trinity Church (Wall Street NYC). Prostitution was organized into guilds, presided over by a brothel queen. These guilds employed strikes as a medium of improving their condition and keeping a standard price. Moral spasms. To the moralist prostitution does not consist so much in the fact that the woman sells her body, but rather that she sells it out of wedlock. But as thousands of girls cannot marry, our stupid social customs condemn them either to a life of celibacy or prostitution. Society creates the victims that it afterwards vainly attempts to get rid of. Havelock Ellis quotes. Tremendous revenue the police department derives from the blood money of its victims, whom it will not even protect.

Legalization has failed to yield the type of advances for strippers envisioned by the regulation hypothesis. Because courts and employers treat work in the commercial sex industry as unworthy of protection, labor laws largely exclude stripping from those legal definitions of “employment” providing for labor organizing and wage, hour and anti-discrimination protections. Moreover, local governments deploy regulatory law to eliminate or significantly constrict the presence of strip clubs in their communities. These legal measures, such as zoning ordinances and nudity bans, have only tightened the labor market for strippers, thereby increasing strippers’ vulnerability to employer abuses. | Law | English | Global | ||||||

Sussex, Brighton) | Narratives on “white slavery” and their re-emergence in the moral panics and boundary crises. The narratives of innocent, virginal victims purveyed in the “trafficking in women” discourse are a modern version of the myth of “white slavery.” These narratives, the article argues, reflect persisting anxieties about female sexuality and women’s autonomy. Racialised representations of the migrant “Other” as helpless, child-like, victims strips sex workers of their agency. The article argues that while the myth of “trafficking in women”/”white slavery” is ostensibly about protecting women, the underlying moral concern is with the control of “loose women.” Through the denial of migrant sex workers’ agency, these discourses serve to reinforce notions of female dependence and purity that serve to further marginalise sex workers and undermine their human rights. | International Studies Convention, Washington, DC, February 16 - 20, 1999, Gender Issues, Vol. 18, no. 1, Winter 2000, pp. 23-50. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||

Rape fantasies exist on a continuum between erotic and aversive, with 9% completely aversive, 45% completely erotic, and 46% both erotic and aversive. Women who are more erotophilic, open to fantasy, and higher in self-esteem tended to have more frequent and erotic rape fantasies than other women.

The market is clearly highly racialized. How can immigration status make it easier not only to recruit domestic workers, but also to retain them as additional means of control? ‘Foreignness’ may also make the management of the employment relation easier with employers anxious to discover a coincidence of interest with the worker. Employers are not only looking for generic ‘foreignness’ however, but typically also seek particular nationalities or ethnicities of worker, which can raise difficulties for agencies who are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of ‘race’. ... The immigration status of ‘au pair’ can function as a means, that the migrant is seen not as a worker at all.

However service coverage levels for HIV prevention services among sex workers are low (generally <50%). HIV prevention services for male and transgender sex workers are almost non-existent, as are programs for male clients. • Where sex worker rights organizations have partnered effectively with government the response to HIV among sex workers has been particularly effective and sustainable. This has meant prevention services which involve significant sex worker leadership in their design and implementation and which attend to structural barriers to safe sex. • Empowerment-based, comprehensive HIV prevention among sex workers is cost-effective, particularly in higher prevalence settings where it becomes cost-saving. The cost per client for the intervention ranges from $102 to $184, with United Kingdomraine having the lowest and Brazil the highest cost per client. Labor costs are the major expense, and account for the majority of variation across countries. • Violence, stigma and discrimination against sex workers are extremely prevalent. Addressing violence, stigma and discrimination against sex workers is also a human rights imperative. • There is a good justification based on the analyses presented herein to more equitably allocate HIV prevention funding to interventions focused on sex workers, such as the comprehensive community empowerment intervention. | Health, STI/HIV | English | Global | ||||||

Based on ethnographic observations and informal interviews conducted at a typical adult film production company and on examining the industry’s historical development, I have found that a diverse range of occupations and occupational opportunities are available for women in the adult film industry and women workers in the US adult film industry experience their gendered workplace in unique ways.

A “sexy” topic, human trafficking is not only susceptible to alluring, fetishistic and voyeuristic narratives, but plays into the celebrity-as-rescuer-of-the-victim ideal that receives excessive attention from media, policymakers and the public. While some celebrities may become knowledgeable enough to give responsible advice to law and policy makers, others engaging in anti-trafficking activism are neither knowledgeable enough nor using good judgment when interacting with those who make the laws and create anti-trafficking programs. But the responsibility must lie primarily with those same law and policy makers who are so slavishly devoted to using celebrity witnesses in order to satisfy their own desire to interact with celebrities. The extent to which law and policy makers are abdicating their duties to constituents and donors by allowing celebrity activists to provide them with legal and policy advice is emblematic of the larger and more general problems with funding, narratives and the shallow level of discourse in current anti-trafficking initiatives. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||

As part of a larger project examining male escorts working for a single agency, MSWs (n = 38) were interviewed about their work and personal lives. MSWs developed more self-efficacy around sex work behaviors and more positive outcome expectations with experience; moral conflict and lack of attraction to clients limited MSWs' self-efficacy. Key variables for sex work appeared to be cognitive in nature-mostly represented by a *decreased commitment to normative social/sexual values*, the specific nature of which may have varied by *sexual orientation*. Findings support the contention that *social-cognitive theory can effectively model entry of young men into sex work*.

I will argue against the political efficacy of seeing rape as the fixed reality of women's lives, against an identity politics which defines women by our violability, and for a shift of scene from rape and its aftermath to rape situations themselves and to rape prevention. Many current theories of rape present rape as an inevitable material fact of life and assume that a rapist's ability to physically overcome his target is the foundation of rape. Such a view takes *violence as a self-explanatory first cause* and endows it with an invulnerable and terrifying facticity which *stymies our ability to challenge and demystify rape*. | in: Butler, Judith: "Feminists Theorize the Political", Routledge, New York 2002. | Criminology, Feminism | English | Global | |||||

Data was collected since 1995 and analyzed in order to examine the coalition identities of key players and their positions. Through the presentation of in-depth interview data with key policy players involved in the making of the TVPA, this article illustrates how and why the TVPA was formulated, the implications of its development, and the necessity for critical analysis of its effects. The use of alternative frameworks of labor and migration for understanding trafficking is proposed. Further consideration is given to legislative changes to eliminate anti-prostitution ideology and to support anti-oppressive approaches to addressing forced or deceptive working conditions. 1998 US religious freedom coalition introduced the International Religious Freedom Act and after the Sudan civil war famine where 70.000 died, they formed an anti-trafficking cause with radical feminists, which then was applied to the migration and prostitution debate (agenda setting, coalition formed by Michael Horowitz, Hudson Institute). | Advances in Social Work, Vol 13, No 2 (2012), 243. | TVPA 2000.

Prevents sex workers from making the same claims as other on office holder, employers, and service providers.

In 2001, Germany also made an attempt to adopt a similar concept as part of a reformed police registration system for so-called ‘politically motivated offences’, focusing predominantly on right-wing extremist crime. However, hate crime is a category which is open to selective interpretations and subjective judgments and to date there are still large empirical deficiencies regarding the identification and classification processes applied by the German police. High levels of ambiguity, uncertainty and arbitrariness initiate a debate surrounding the validity of official hate crime statistics in Germany and reveal a large potential for conflict when it comes to the definition and registration of xenophobic violence and other forms of hate-motivated crime. In this respect, it seems indispensible to carefully evaluate the implementation of the hate crime concept into Germany’s law enforcement system and to analyze current trends and developments, in order to provide valid data on the qualitative and quantitative nature of hate crime incidents in German society. | Law | English | Germany | ||||||

I discuss how calls to “end trafficking, especially in women and children” are influenced by – and go on to legitimate – governmental practices to criminalize the self-willed migration of people moving without official permission. I discuss how the ideological frame of anti-trafficking works to reinforce restrictive immigration practices, shore up a nationalized consciousness of space and home, and criminalize those rendered illegal within national territories. Anti-trafficking campaigns also fail to take into account migrants’ limited agency in the migration process. I provide alternative routes to anti-trafficking campaigns by arguing for an analytical framework in which the related worldwide crises of displacement and migration are foregrounded. I argue that by centering the standpoint of undocumented migrants a more transformative politics emerges, one that demands that people be able to “stay” and to “move” in a self-determined manner. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | ||||||

Once in the UK, one is confronted with similar campaigns but this time of a slightly different message; a campaign such as Blue Blindfolds calls on the general public across the UK to share any suspicions or information on cases of trafficking with the police or the Home Office. During the last decade, anti-trafficking information campaigns have played a prominent part in anti-trafficking policies throughout Europe. They have for the most part been launched in migrants’ counties of origin with the idea of warning migrants about the dangers of irregular migration. Scholars have taken interest in those campaigns and argued that despite the best intentions, those campaigns aim at reducing irregular migration, encourage women to stay at home, promote stereotypes about ‘eastern’ European societies as patriarchal and crime-ridden and of women as naïve victims (Nieuwenhuys and Pécoud, 2007; Sharma, 2003). Feminist scholars have moreover put into question the category of a ‘victim’, critiqued a slippage between ‘illegal immigration’, ‘forced prostitution’, and ‘trafficking’, and argued that these conflations divert attention from the role of the state (O’Connell Davidson, 2006). | Feminist Review, 92(1), pp. 151–156 | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||

In the midst of this sometimes-contradictory application of the INA, victims of attempted sex trafficking (those who have faced threats or attempts by sex traffickers to force them into sexual slavery) have consistently been rejected for asylum by U.S. courts. Federal courts have uniformly denied these asylum claims by ruling that these victims do not meet the INA’s requirement that refugees fall into a particular social group. Therefore, this Comment focuses largely on the argument that U.S. courts have interpreted the “social group” provision in an unduly narrow fashion, and that victims of attempted trafficking do indeed satisfy this element of the INA’s test for asylum eligibility. This Comment argues that U.S. courts’ rejections of these asylum claims are inconsistent with the legislative intent behind the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, federal case law that has granted asylum petitions in similar contexts, and the United Nations’ and international interpretations of refugee law. Based on these reasons and public policy concerns, U.S. courts should recognize the valid claims of many of these victims of attempted trafficking, and grant them the asylum that they deserve. | Anti-Trafficking | English | U.S.A. | ||||||

(in German only: Menschenhandel zum Zweck der Arbeitsausbeutung – ein Thema für Gewerkschaften?) | Pallmann, Ildikó und Anne Pawletta | Human trafficking for forced labor purposes is receiving more and more attention in the public discourse on human trafficking. In this article, we will address a number of questions regarding the work done by trade unions to counteract human trafficking for forced labor purposes, beginning with some thoughts on why unions are active in this field. What examples exist for successful union involvement? And what difficulties might prevent a stronger and more substantial commitment by unions? Many cases of human trafficking occur in sectors with a *low rate of unionization*, or areas like domestic services, which are generally difficult for unions to reach. The gap between unions and the sectors that are especially important is increased by a number of unions clinging to “old” traditional industries. Also, many of the people in question are migratory workers. In this article, we will analyze the innovative approaches used by unions to overcome these difficulties – for instance, by *organizing migratory workers in unions* or union-affiliated associations, and offering low-threshold advice for people who could be potentially affected. | pp. 177 | Community Organizing | German | Germany | |||||

Vohs | A heterosexual community can be analyzed as a marketplace in which men seek to acquire sex from women by offering other resources in exchange. Societies will therefore define gender roles as if women are sellers and men buyers of sex. *Societies will endow female sexuality*, but not male sexuality, with value (as in virginity, fidelity, chastity). The sexual activities of different couples are loosely interrelated by a marketplace, instead of being fully separate or private, and each couple’s decisions may be influenced by market conditions. Economic principles suggest that the price of sex will depend on supply and demand, competition among sellers, variations in product, collusion among sellers, and other factors. Research findings show *gender asymmetries* (reflecting the complementary economic roles) in prostitution, courtship, infidelity and divorce, female competition, the sexual revolution and changing norms, unequal status between partners, cultural suppression of female sexuality, abusive relationships, rape, and sexual attitudes. | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15582858 | Economics | English | Global | |||||

We focus on the increasing salience of exiting — a move favoured by Matthews as signalling a renewed welfare approach, but one which, when viewed in the wider context of ‘progressive governance’, offers insight into New Labour’s attempt to increase social control under the rhetoric of inclusion, through techniques of risk and responsibilization. By exploring the moral and political components of these techniques, we demonstrate how they operate to privilege and exclude certain forms of citizenship, augmenting the on-going hegemonic moral and political regulation of sex workers. | Brit.

The key question addressed in this thesis is whether decriminalisation has minimised the harms experienced by sex workers. Rather than taking a narrow view of harm minimisation and looking merely at the practices of sex workers, I have taken a more holistic stance, taking into account structural social issues which contribute to the health and wellbeing of sex workers. Data were collected through a survey of 772 sex workers. Minimal change in the size of the sex industry is not surprising as the underlying motivations for working in this industry have not changed in a decriminalised environment. As this thesis demonstrates, structural factors (such as economic climate, employment opportunities, welfare, housing and sickness benefits) are associated with the entry into sex work rather than the way the industry is regulated. Theories of social exclusion and stigma are utilised in the thesis to show how sex workers have been cast predominantly as a deviant population, associated with disease, crime and drugs. The media often make use of these associations in reporting on sex workers, which leads to heightened public anxiety and campaigns to exclude sex workers from society. Even in a decriminalised environment in New Zealand, such campaigns continue, which has meant that although decriminalisation has given sex workers in New Zealand human rights, they continue to experience stigmatisation. This thesis found that sex workers have poorer self-reported mental health than the general population of New Zealand and some of this poorer perceived mental health could be due to their ongoing stigmatisation. This is not to say that decriminalisation has not been a success. As this thesis demonstrates, sex workers in New Zealand have more control over their work environment, including their safety and their sexual health, since the passing of the Prostitution Reform Act (2003). The Act has given them legal, employment and occupational health and safety rights which has made it easier to negotiate services and safer sex with clients, has made it easier for managed sex workers to refuse to see certain clients without penalties from management and has improved the relationship between sex workers and police. The fact that sex workers can make use of the law has given them a sense of legitimacy and respectability which was absent under laws that criminalised them. The provision of human rights to sex workers through the decriminalisation of the sex industry has led to the minimisation of harm to New Zealand sex workers. | Politics | English | New Zealand | ||||||

Thomas (City College NY) | This article explores how the efficiency of Internet search is changing the way Americans find romantic partners. We use a new data source, the How Couples Meet and Stay Together survey. Results show that for 60 years, family and grade school have been steadily declining in their influence over the *dating market*. In the past 15 years, the rise of the Internet has partly displaced not only family and school, but also neighborhood, friends, and the workplace as venues for meeting partners. The Internet increasingly allows Americans to meet and form relationships with perfect strangers, that is, people with whom they had no previous social tie. Individuals who face a thin market for potential partners, such as gays, lesbians, and middle-aged heterosexuals, are especially likely to meet partners online. One result of the increasing importance of the Internet in meeting partners is that adults with Internet access at home are substantially more likely to have partners, even after controlling for other factors. Partnership rate has increased during the Internet era (consistent with Internet efficiency of search) for same-sex couples, but the heterosexual partnership rate has been flat. | Technology | English | Global | ||||||

In order to address this gender imbalance some feminists have advocated the enforcement and/or strengthening of kerb crawling legislation and other schemes that *target men* who pay for sex. During 1998–9 one initiative, which aimed to target men who pay for sex in the UK, the Kerb Crawler Rehabilitation Programme (KCRP), was piloted in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Although the KCRP received considerable media coverage there has been relatively little critical debate among feminists about this approach to working with clients of sex workers.

Chacó | In order to understand why the TVPA from 2001 has fallen short of its goals, the Act must be analyzed in the context of its legal antecedents: the labor, immigration and sex trafficking laws that existed prior to the TVPA and that form the bulk of the Act’s substantive provisions. This article demonstrates that long before the TVPA was enacted, legal and policy decisions were made in each of these three areas that continue to exacerbate the domestic manifestations of problem of human trafficking and the related exploitation of undocumented migrant workers. Unfortunately, Congress did not systematically revisit these laws when passing the TVPA. In fact, the TVPA incorporates many provisions of these laws with only minor changes, and fails to address many of the *perverse structural incentives* that the laws create. (1) Border interdiction strategies, (2) restrictive and punitive immigration policies and (3) insufficient labor protection for migrants interact in ways that leave exploited workers in the United States at the mercy of traffickers and abusive employers, notwithstanding the TVPA. Furthermore, the narrow understanding of trafficking that dominates domestic TVPA enforcement efforts has created (4) an over-emphasis on anti-prostitution efforts to (2) the exclusion of broader issues of worker exploitation, and has also resulted in (5) racially biased understanding and enforcement of anti-trafficking laws within the United States. Unfortunately, some of the worst impulses of U.S. anti-trafficking strategies have also been incorporated into the U.S. government’s international anti-trafficking strategies.

In Paris in 2003 a street prohibition was introduced, against both clients and soliciting persons; in Stockholm in 1999 buyers of sexual services have been criminalized, in Amsterdam in 2000 prostitution has been configured as a trade but only to Dutch or E.U. citizens. In Madrid from 1995 to 2003 there has been a period of depenalization of organizing prostitution indoors, preceded and followed by a de facto tolerance towards the “cludes de alterne” and the other venues where prostitution takes place. All these cities have problems similar to those of Italian cities where foreign women migrating from impoverished countries have come to offer sex in the streets, with the social stigma and rejection that encountered their arrival in public spaces. Worries about the “trafficking of human beings” has also been a major component of law changes that in these countries have been proposed and approved. The research presented in the volume shows how the different policies converge towards common practices: waves of anti-foreign women repression, subsequent re-organization (in worse conditions) of street prostitution, difficulties in making contact with victims of trafficking, de facto tolerance. | Politics | English | Europe | ||||||

Some have suggested that those who have difficulty downregulating their sexual desires be diagnosed as having a sexual “addiction”. However, such symptoms also may be better understood as a non-pathological variation of high sexual desire. Hypersexuals are thought to be relatively sexual reward sensitized, but also to have high exposure to visual sexual stimuli. If individuals exhibit habituation, their P300 amplitude to sexual stimuli should be diminished; if they merely have high sexual desire, their P300 amplitude to sexual stimuli should be increased. Neural responsivity to sexual stimuli in a sample of hypersexuals could differentiate these two competing explanations of symptoms. 52 (13 female) individuals viewed emotional photographs while electroencephalography was collected. Larger P300 amplitude differences to pleasant sexual stimuli, relative to neutral stimuli, was negatively related to measures of sexual desire, but not related to measures of hypersexuality. | Huffington Post: Sex Addiction Does Not Appear To Be A Disorder, UCLA Study Says | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/19/sex-addiction-not-disorder-ucla_n_3624393.html | Sexology | English | Global | ||||

There is no single, “best” approach to social finance, philanthropy and foreign aid that is much in vogue today. Instead an ecosystem of democratic, institutional and commercial funding models matched to different elements of social change is needed. Each model is analyzed in terms of its strengths, weaknesses, and applicability, and key areas of under-funding are identified. The paper ends by describing a number of promising experiments that achieve the double impact of boosting support for radical changes in society while lso transforming the relationships surrounding money that currently separate donors from recipients. | Economics | English | Global | ||||||

Sex workers were particularly sensitive to being identified and belittled within the health care environment. Demand-side barriers also featured, including competing time commitments and costs of transport and some treatment, reflecting SWs' marginalised socio-economic position. Conclusion: Improving treatment access for SWs is critical for their own health, programme equity, and public health benefit. Programmes working to reduce SW attrition from HIV care need to proactively address the quality and environment of public services. Sensitising health workers through specialised training, refining referral systems from sex-worker friendly clinics into the national system, and providing opportunities for SW to collectively organise for improved treatment and rights might help alleviate the barriers to treatment initiation and attention currently faced by SW. | Health, STI/HIV | English | Global | ||||||

In recent times, sex workers have begun to demand appropriate payment from researchers who need our assistance and have critiqued research that is sloppy or morally biased. Horror stories exist within sex worker communities of lives ruined and discriminatory laws made as a result of outsiders researching and reporting on our activities. Positive research experiences are few and far between, but we are determined to create them by leading our own research and having input into the research projects of others in formative stages. In order to create a more reflexive practice, non-sex worker researchers must better interrogate their own motives for researching sex work, and sex workers must be positioned as active, not passive, voices in research about our work. This paper discusses proven best practice ways of involving sex workers so as to produce better quality research that informs law-making, policy, wellbeing and other regulatory outcomes. The paper is based upon the August 2009 International Sex Worker Think Tank on Research, and parts of this paper were originally presented at the National Centre for HIV Social Research conference at UNSW in April 2010. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||

Instead there needs to be a shift at the policy, legal and administrative levels to reflect an understanding that the women, men and transgender people engaged in commercial sexual services are engaged in a labour process. From this labour framework, it is then possible to identify instances of forced labour and poor working conditions and enact appropriate remedies and responses while at the same time protecting the rights of sex workers and migrants. | Anti-Trafficking | English | United Kingdom | ||||||

Peppet, Professor of Law, University of Colorado Law School | Novel approach to prostitution reform focused on incremental market improvement facilitated by information law and policy. Empirical evidence from the economics and sociology of sex work shows that new, Internet-enabled, indoor forms of prostitution may be healthier, less violent, and more rewarding than traditional street prostitution. This Article argues that these existing “Prostitution 2.0” innovations have not yet improved sex markets sufficiently to warrant legalization. It suggests that creating a new “Prostitution 3.0” that solves the remaining problems of disease, violence, and coercion in prostitution markets is possible, but would require removing legal barriers to ongoing technological innovation in this context, such as state laws criminalizing technologies that “advance prostitution.” This Article considers what Prostitution 3.0 might entail, how it might be created, and whether it would succeed in remedying the ongoing problems in prostitution markets. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | ||||||

This situation has had an extreme impact on the physical, mental and social wellbeing of this population. Overall, the article details the multiple effects of sex work criminalisation on the everyday lives of sex workers and on their social interactions and relationships. Underlying their stories, however, are narratives of resilience and resistance. Sex workers in our study draw on their own individual survival strategies and informal forms of support and very occasionally opt to seek recourse through formal channels. They generally recognize the benefits of *unified actions* in assisting them to counter risks in their environment and mobilise against human rights violations, but note how the fluctuant and stigmatised nature of their profession often undermines collective action. Conclusions: While criminal laws urgently need reform, supporting sex work self-organisation and community-building are key interim strategies for safeguarding sex workers’ human rights and improving health outcomes in these communities.

The new social science behind why you’re never able to convince friends or foes to even consider things from your side. | Horowitz, Eric (newspaper article) | The psychological barriers to evidence based policy arguments - Self-protection against threats to your self-image or self-worth. Self-affirmation—a mental exercise that increases feelings of self-worth—makes people more willing to accept threatening information. By raising or “affirming” your self-worth, you can then encounter things that lower your self-worth without a net decrease. - Information is more likely to have the desired effect if, on net, it doesn’t lower a person’s self-worth. - Humans attribute our failures to external factors (bad luck), but our success to internal factors (skill). - “Motivated reasoning”: Professional politicians are dogmatic. They disregard your proof of arguments. Even if we demand evidence based policy. - Intransigence (Kompromißlosigkeit) Our openness to information depends on how it affects self-worth - “Backfire effect”: when people are presented with corrective information that runs counter to their ideology, those who most strongly identify with the ideology will intensify their incorrect beliefs. When information presents a greater threat, it’s less likely to have an impact. - Self-imunisation: The upshot of your argument is that he has spent years supporting a set of policies that kill people. And yet he knows there’s no way that could be true because he’s a good person who wants what’s best for the world. So what you’re saying has to be false. It’s not even worth considering. - Strongest arguments are typically utilized: The arguments that are most threatening to opponents are viewed as the strongest and cited most often. Liberals are baby-killers (pro choice) while conservatives won’t let women control their own body (pro life). - Arguments or demonstrations often only have a community building effect on the own party: Each argument is game-set-match for those already partial to it, but too threatening to those who aren’t. political parties the priority is often driving activism rather than changing minds, and thus threatening arguments may be a better choice. - Stay lower than the opponent's thread threshold: Those arguments are objectively weaker, but it’s more likely to be below the threat threshold that leads to automatic rejection. It might actually be considered. Using the weakest points is a type of formal compromising with your opponents personality. That is what drives peaceful politics not creating victims or losers.

We wanted this information so that we can collectively build a social justice campaign to respond to broad systemic harm. From this, YWEP’s first youth developed, led, and analyzed research project was born. Our research questions were: 1. What individual and institutional violence do girls in the sex trade experience? 2. How do we heal/bounce back from this violence? 3. How do we resist/fight back against this violence? 4. How can we unite and collectively fight back? We answered these questions using 4 tools: we did focus groups with our membership and outreach workers, we created a fill in the blank zine so that girls could document the ways they heal and fight back, we used ethnographic observation by paying attention and writing down the experiences of our outreach contacts, and we asked new questions in our workshops about how girls take care of themselves and avoid violence. | Young Women’s Empowerment Project.

Physical and sexual violence were prevalent, with 43% reporting past-month abuse. *Clients* were the primary perpetrators; their violence was severe, compromised women's condom and sexual negotiation, and included forced and coerced anal intercourse. Sex work was a factor in intimate partner violence. *Police abuse* was largely an exploitation of power imbalances for coerced sex. Findings affirm the need to address physical and sexual violence, particularly that perpetrated by clients, as a social determinant of health for women in sex work, as well as a threat to safety and wellbeing, and a contextual barrier to HIV risk reduction. | Health, STI/HIV | English | U.S.A. | ||||||

Abel and Lisa J. Fitzgerald, Cheryl Bruton | In 2003, New Zealand decriminalised sex work through the enactment of the Prostitution Reform Act. Many opponents to this legislation predicted that there would be increasing numbers of people entering sex work, especially in the street-based sector. The debates within the New Zealand media following the legislation were predominantly moralistic and there were calls for the recriminalisation of the street-based sector. This study estimated the number of sex workers post-decriminalisation in 5 locations in New Zealand: the 3 main cities in which sex work takes place as well as two smaller cities. These estimations were compared to existing estimations prior to and at the time of decriminalisation. The research suggests that the Prostitution Reform Act has had little impact on the number of people working in the sex industry. | Jnl Soc.

Rhode Island District Court judge unexpectedly decriminalized indoor prostitution in 2003. This provides us the first causal estimates of the impact of decriminalization on the composition of the sex market, rape offenses, and population sexually transmitted infection outcomes. Not surprisingly, we find that decriminalization increased the size of the indoor market. However, somewhat unexpectedly, we find that decriminalization caused both forcible rape offenses and gonorrhea incidence to decline for the overall population. Our synthetic control model finds 824 fewer reported rape offenses and 1,035 fewer cases of female gonorrhea from 2004 to 2009. The combined benefits of 6 years of decriminalization are estimated to be approximately $200 million.

In particular, the federal, and state and territory governments have yet to take up the opportunity to link anti-trafficking efforts with initiatives aimed at improving the working conditions of workers in the sex industry. We suggest this reflects a common—but unjustified—assumption that “labour trafficking” and “sex trafficking” are distinct and different species of harm. As a result of this distinction, workers in the Australian sex industry —an industry where slavery and trafficking crimes have been detected— are missing out on a suite of potentially effective prevention interventions, and access to civil remedies. We argue that there is a need to provide practical and financial support, so that the national industrial regulator, the Fair Work Ombudsman, can work directly with sex worker advocacy groups, to examine opportunities and barriers to accessing the labour law system, particularly for migrant sex workers. | The Anti-Trafficking Review, Issue 1, 2012, pp.60-79. | Anti-Trafficking | English | Australia | |||||

Advocacy NGOs whose legitimacy and authority depend on their role as representatives of marginalised and disenfranchised populations are in many cases prone to exploit discourses on vulnerability and victimhood in order to fortify their own identity as “advocates”. 2 case studies on prostitution and child labour. The ascription of identities by advocacy NGOs to their beneficiaries is an empirically contested phenomenon. When the allegedly weak and “voiceless” persons whom advocacy NGOs claim to represent start to defend their own interests and publicly contradict the positions advocated on their behalf, conflict between these groups arises. We observe this dynamic particularly concerning the “abolition” of harmful practices, such as child work and prostitution. Child workers and prostitutes contest the way in which they are portrayed by their advocates in public discourse and especially resist the ascription of a “victim” identity. | Global Society, 27:4, 497-520, DOI: 10.1080/13600826.2013.823914 | Community Organizing | English | Global | |||||

The pretension to enter into the public debate is faced with many difficulties.

Prostitutes’ dependence on alliance supporters characterises sex worker social movements to be heteronomous mobilizations. 4 obstacles of mobilisation and self-organisation: (1) law, (2) poor social background, (3) taboo, stigma and exclusion, (4) archaic competitive unprotected sex market competition with no social security available.

A focus on the evils of trafficking is a way of depoliticising the debate on migration | Anderson, Bridget and Rutvica Andrijasevic | Trafficking is a theme that is supposed to bring us all together. But we believe it is necessary to tread the line of challenging motherhood and apple pie while not endorsing slavery, because the *moral panic* over trafficking is diverting attention from the structural causes of the abuse of migrant workers. Concern becomes focused on the evil wrongdoers rather than more systemic factors. In particular it ignores the state’s approach to migration and employment, which effectively *constructs groups of non-citizens* who can be treated as unequal with impunity. | Soundings, 2008(40), pp. 135–145 | Anti-Trafficking | English | Global | |||||

While the majority of women are employed as bartenders or waitresses in tourist areas of Phnom Penh, outside observers tend to erroneously label them as ‘prostitutes’ or ‘broken women’ because of the gift-based nature of the intimate exchanges. Ethnographic evidence demonstrates, however, that they make up a diverse and nuanced group of individuals who engage in relationships more complex than simply ‘sex-for-cash’ exchanges, and often seek marriage and love in addition to material comforts. Though they do not view themselves as ‘prostitutes’, the distinction of the term ‘professional’ is used to emphasize that 1) they do rely on the formation of these relationships as a means of livelihood and their motivations are initially materially-based; 2) they engage in multiple overlapping transactional relationships, usually unbeknownst to their other partners; 3) there is a performance of intimacy, whereby the professed feelings of love and dedication lie somewhere on a continuum between genuine and feigned, and where the term ‘love’ itself carries multiple meanings. The research further reveals not only the stereotypes, contradictions, and structural constraints experienced by these young women, but also their entrepreneurialism, determination and creativity. Despite trauma related to recent political past, sexual violence, stigma, depression and self-harming, they use tools of global feminine youth culture, consumption, linguistic ability, ‘bar girl’ subculture, and interpersonal relationships to make socioeconomic advancements and find enjoyment in their lives. The practice of ‘intimate ethnography’ also illuminates the negotiation of intimacy and friendship between the participants and researcher, as well as the general materiality and exchange of everyday sex and relationships around the globe. | Interview | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-henry-sterry/everything-you-think-you-_b_4086449.html | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Combodia | ||||

Centered largely on street prostitution zones and nations where prostitution is illegal, this literature gives insufficient attention to settings where RLDs consist of a cluster of indoor venues that are legal and regulated by the authorities. Using classic *Chicago School vice districts model* [Walter Reckless 1926] as a point of departure, this article examines the physical structure and social organization of red-light zones in 2 Belgian cities: Antwerp and Brussels. The comparative analysis identifies major differences in the social ecology of the two settings. Differences are explained by the distinctive ways in which each municipal government manages its respective RLD, which are related to the contrasting social backgrounds and political capital of the population residing in the vicinity of each district. Antwerp RLD was reinvented and renovated end of 1990 with public money. It is the antithesis to the traditional vice district as in Brussels. Differences between the 2 settings can be explained largely by the distinctive policies and practices of local officials—reform-oriented intervention, ongoing oversight, management and middle-class gentrification (Antwerp) vs laissez-faire tolerance, disregard and lower-class marginalization (Brussels). List of regulatory measures. Dutch cities' RLD in Alkmaar, Eindhoven, Groningen, Haarlem, The Hague, and Utrecht are similar to Antwerp. | Urban Affairs Review (Published online before print October 9, 2013) | First paper with colour photos. | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Europe | ||||

The qualitative data were analyzed using an adapted form of *grounded theory*. It was found that client-perpetrated sexual violence within male sex work appears to be uncommon. However, when sexual violence did occur the cause was a disagreement over barebacking. Escorts’ explanations for the low level of sexual violence within this sector included (1) that gay men were non-confrontational, (2) their clients led clandestine lifestyles avoiding undue attention, and (3) comparatively, female sex workers were perceived to be more vulnerable resulting in the higher level of sexual violence within the female sex work industry. | International Journal of Sexual Health, Volume 23, Issue 1, 2011, pages 63-78. | In MSM sex work more often the client is victim of violence, when a gay4pay escort is freaking out.

Exploring the militarization of public security in Rio de Janeiro during 2003–08 around campaigns to stop the ‘trafficking’ of sex workers. Findings illuminate the intersection of 3 neoliberal governance logics: (1) a moralistic humanitarian-rescue agenda promoted by evangelical populists and police groups; (2) a juridical ‘law and rights’ logic promoted by justice-sector actors and human-rights NGOs; (3) a worker-empowerment logic articulated by the governing Workers’ Party (PT) in alliance with social-justice movements, police reformers, and prostitutes’ rights groups. Gender and race analyses map the antagonisms between these three logics of neoliberal governance, and how their incommensurabilities generate crisis in the arena of security policy. By exploring Brazil’s fraught efforts to attain the status of ‘human security superpower’ through these interventions, the article challenges the view that the reordering of security politics in the global south is inevitably linked to desecularization, disempowerment, and militarization. | Security Dialogue 2009 40: 513 | Politics | English | Brasil | |||||

This paper brings together extensive qualitative fieldwork from two cities in the UK to unpack the intricacies in relation to violence and safety for indoor workers. Firstly, we document the types of violence women experience in indoor venues noting how the vulnerabilities surrounding work-based hazards are dependent on the environment in which sex is sold. Secondly, we highlight the protection strategies that indoor workers and management develop to maintain safety and order in the establishment. Thirdly, we use these empirical findings to suggest that violence should be a high priority on the policy agenda. Here we contend that the organizational and cultural conditions that seem to offer some protection from violence in indoor settings could be useful for informing the management of street sex work. Finally, drawing on the crime prevention literature, we argue that it is possible to go a considerable way to designing out vulnerability in sex work, but not only through physical and organizational change but building in *respect* for sex workers rights by developing policies that promote the employment/human rights and citizenship for sex workers. This argument is made in light of the Coordinated Prostitution Strategy. | English | United Kingdom | |||||||

This battle will continue to be characterised by a dispute over the legitimacy of prostitution, perpetuating a belief that prostitution is distinct to other forms of labour, and that systems of legalised prostitution are fuelling trafficking in young women and girls. It seems absurd that while the demand for sexual services is maligned and cast as the primary factor fuelling the trafficking in women, the demand for cheap clothes or fruit is rarely viewed as the cause of trafficking in the garment and agricultural industries. Over time, this perspective may change to a point where it is the exploitation of labour, rather than the labour itself, which is condemned in all industries where trafficking occurs. In the short term, we should at least be allowed to expect that policy be informed by reliable evidence, not just ideology. | Law | English | Global | ||||||

Prostitution in Sweden has been (re)defined according to a *‘radical feminist’ discourse* as a form of gendered violence against women. These constructions have resulted in the *exclusion of sex workers*. *Harm reduction* initiatives are seen to endorse, encourage, and facilitate sex work, and are therefore seen to damage efforts to abolish prostitution. There is no convincing evidence that overall levels of prostitution have declined since 1999. Instead, some sex work has simply been displaced from public space by targeted policing and advances in telecommunications technologies. | Presented at the sex worker open university Sex Workers’ Rights Festival Glasgow, 6 April, 2013 | Research 4 Sex Work | English | Global | |||||

Expands on the work of Leopoldina Fortunati (The Arcane of Reproduction - Housework, Prostitution, Labor and Capital 1955). In it, she argues against Karl Marx's claim that primitive accumulation is a necessary precursor for capitalism. Instead, she posits that *primitive accumulation* is a fundamental characteristic of capitalism itself—that capitalism, in order to perpetuate itself, requires a constant infusion of *expropriated capital*. Historical struggle for the commons and the struggle for communalism. Instead of seeing capitalism as a liberatory defeat of feudalism, Federici interprets the ascent of capitalism as a reactionary move to subvert the rising tide of communalism and to retain the basic social contract. She situates the institutionalization of rape and prostitution, as well as the heretic and witch-hunt trials, burnings, and torture at the center of a *methodical subjugation of women and appropriation of their labor*. This is tied into *colonial expropriation* and provides a framework for understanding the work of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and other *proxy institutions* as engaging in a renewed cycle of primitive accumulation, by which everything held in common—from water, to seeds, to our genetic code—becomes *privatized* in what amounts to a new round of *enclosures*. | Autonomedia, Brooklyn, NY, Edition 2009 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvia_Federici | Economics | English | Global | ||||

During the 1950s and 1960s, there was very little media or political attention paid to prostitution. It was not until the mid 1970s that perceived problems with prostitution law began to surface, driven by concerns that the criminal code statute prohibiting street prostitution was not enforceable. In 1983 the Liberal government appointed the Special Committee on Pornography and Prostitution to consider options for law and policy reform. However, the Conservative government that received the report in 1985 rejected the sweeping law changes the Special Committee recommended, opting instead to rewrite the street prostitution offence. Since then the murder of somewhere between 200-300 street prostitutes has prompted renewed calls for law reform. The debate on law reform culminated in 2006 with a parliamentary review that saw all four federal political parties agreeing that Canada’s prostitution laws are “unacceptable,” but unable to agree about how to change them. The majority report held that *consenting adult prostitution* should be legal, while the minority report held that it should be prohibited. In 2007 the Standing Committee on the Status of Women recommended that Canada adopt the *Nordic model* of demand-side prohibition. As the deadlock continues, women in the street sex trade continue to be murdered. Faced with this deadly inertia, 2 groups of sex workers have challenged several Criminal Code sections relating to prostitution, arguing that they violate several of their Constitutional rights, including their right to “life, liberty and security of the person”. The paper concludes with an update on the progress of the Charter challenges now before the courts. | Beijing Law Review, 2(2), 33-54. | Law | English | Canada | |||||

Foregrounding the current legality of prostitution in Canada, as well as the growing number of serial kidnap and murder cases involving sex workers nationwide, the project brings together two broader cultural debates regarding the moral and cultural legitimacy of prostitution, and the growing socioeconomic “disposability” of the poor and other culturally marginalized populations in an emergent global order. The project thus explores how contemporary Canadian culture registers the changing role of the human/e and of the urban under global capitalism. Considering current responses to the disappearance of 68 women—many of whom were street sex workers—from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Chapter 1 argues that sex workers’ traditional synecdochic relationship with the modern metropolis has become, in contemporary contexts, dangerously fraught. The gradual disintegration of such synecdoche, I argue, signifies the ongoing dissolution of *socio-political ties between the nation-state and its citizenry*. Chapter 2 considers two imagistic tropes in sex work-related media reports, then analyzes urban anti-prostitution initiatives growing out of the Vancouver case and others. I argue that such tropes and actions further reify emerging discourses of street sex workers as cultural “waste.” Chapter 3 examines sex worker activists’ interventions in such mainstream narrations. I discuss the political initiatives promoted on the websites of three major activist organizations, and explore the ways that online activism simultaneously expands and limits the cultural influence of these groups. Noting the over-representation of *First Nations women* among the victims in the Vancouver case and others, Chapter 4 examines intersections between and resistance to Canada’s violent colonial history, racist public policies, and whore stigma in contemporary culture as they converge around Aboriginal women in Canada’s inner-city sex trade. | English | Canada | |||||||

This article addresses our work with collectivising rural women not in sex work (Vidrohi Mahila Manch [Platform for Rebellious Women] (VMM in Sangli) and rural women in sex work (Veshya Anyay Mukti Parishad (VAMP)) from South Maharashtra and North Karnataka, India. It examines the apparent control adult women in sex work have over their own bodies and lives. Although it is true that unless acting collectively, they are less successful in confronting organised criminal gangs and the brutal side of law enforcers, most of them boldly confront sexual relations with individual male clients and men from their own community. | IDS Bulletin, 45: 46–52. doi: 10.1111/1759-5436.12067 | Politics | English | India | |||||
