Sexworkers Critique of Swedish Prostitution Policy by Petra OstergrenLink here | The law against procurement of sexual services (promotion or deriving profit from prostitution) and a recent law prohibiting the purchase of sexual services introduced in 1999 are the two main ways the Swedish state sees itself as "combating" prostitution. Swedish politicians and feminists are proud of the state's prostitution policy. They insist that it has positive effects. Sexworkers are of a different view. |

Working girls : prostitutes, their life and social control by Roberta PerkinsISBN 0 642 15877 0 Canberra: Australian Institute of Criminology, 1991 Link here | An analysis of prostitution laws throughout Australia are presented in this book as Roberts discusses the need for the decriminalisation of prostitution. Detailed findings from a survey of Sydney prostitutes and excerpts from in-depth interviews are included. Perkins also reviews a vast literature on the subject of prostitution. This book made an incredibly important contribution to sex worker rights in the early days of the movement; the research validates sex work as work comes from a sex worker rights framework. |
