The most effective way to deal with prostitution has always been
hotly debated by governments and women's movements alike. Feminists
want it abolished or regulated as sex work; governments have to
safeguard public health and order. This book, first published in
2004, shows how women's movements in Western Europe, North America
and Australia have affected politics on prostitution and
trafficking of women since the 1970s, asking what made them
successful in some countries but a failure in others. It also
assesses whether government institutions to advance the status of
women - so-called women's policy agencies - have played a key role
in achieving policy outcomes favourable to movement demands.
Written by an international team of experts and based on original
sources, all chapters follow the same framework to ensure
comparability. The final chapter offers an overall comparison
identifying what makes women's movements successful and women's
agencies effective, presenting the case for 'state feminism'.
