Sex work is a work. Still, those who perform sex work encounter constant problems: social exclusion, hostility, or lack of social security are just a few examples of how repressive contemporary culture can be in relation to this type of work. In this section, we give voice to those who perform sex work and present many perspectives and artistic points of view of this kind of labour. To what extent is sex work rooted in culture, and in what fields can it be socially useful? How inclusive are sex worker practices, and isn’t decriminalizing them a prerequisite for the future development of modern societies? Who are the sex workers, and why are we sometimes surprised that they are no different from us? Let’s give the floor to sex worker collectives and artists, and let’s hear what they’ve been trying to tell us for a long time.
