Rebel Prostitutes

Why is sex work called that? Is it truly work or is it outright exploitation? What does the international sex workers' movement advocate, and how is it related to the broader labor and feminist movements? Ultimately, does the issue of sex work connect with trafficking, and what role do borders play? What impact does the criminalization of the sex market have on sex workers and their families, and how does it affect the most vulnerable sex workers, including migrants, drug users, and homeless people? Can a radical strategy defend the rights of sex workers while simultaneously fighting for women's liberation from the chains of patriarchy and capitalist commodification? In this book, the answers are given by the sex workers themselves. Through their voices and experiences, from their social positions, reflecting the collective experience shaped through their organic participation in social movements.
