Summary
Summary
How the law harms sex workers—and what they want insteadDo you have to endorse prostitution in order to support sex worker rights? Should clients be criminalized, and can the police deliver justice?
In Revolting Prostitutes, sex workers Juno Mac and Molly Smith bring a fresh perspective to questions that have long been contentious. Speaking from a growing global sex worker rights movement, and situating their argument firmly within wider questions of migration, work, feminism, and resistance to white supremacy, they make it clear that anyone committed to working towards justice and freedom should be in support of the sex worker rights movement.
Contains mature themes.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“An essential read for anyone interested in feminism, activism, and other social justice movements.” —Bust
“Beautifully written and meticulously researched, this book will change what you think you know about sex work.” —The Guardian (London)
“Tackles complex topics that even sex workers struggle with…and why decriminalization isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.” —Daily Dot
“Settles the debate in favor of full and immediate global decriminalization. It does so without insisting that there is nothing troubling about sex work: about the psychosexual forces that lead men to buy it, or the economic forces that compel women to sell it.” —Chronicle of Higher Education
