Prostituted women and sex female workers: is the Labour Law a way to overcome the status of vulnerability?

Abstract

The present text addresses a topic as complicated as prostitution from the pers­pective of the politics of law and without delving into the dichotomy between abolitionism and the pro-rights movement. On the contrary, in the article an alternative approach is proposed that puts the dignity and will of the subjects at the center and together, placing itself in an intermediate space and betting on the need to establish a dialogue based on two premises: the aspiration of the disappearance of prostitution as an end goal and the recognition of rights to people who decide to prostitute themselves, without implying an improper and ineffective use of labor law. Instead, other alternatives are proposed to, at the present time, provide tools that allow an exit from vulnerability through the recognition of rights.
