sex worker rights
Advocacy for prostitutes
Sex worker rights refers to the movement advocating legal protections, labor rights, and social recognition for people who exchange sexual services for money.
Proponents argue for decriminalization, access to healthcare, and freedom from violence and discrimination: Sex worker rights activists oppose laws that criminalize clients.
The framework treats sex work as labor rather than inherently exploitative.
