Prostitution, Harm and Gender Inequality brings together
international research exploring the range of gendered harms to
women involved in prostitution and the consequences of growth of
the sex industry for global gender relations. While there is an
increasing amount of research and academic output on prostitution,
the current focus is often on discussion and critique of policy
frameworks, and contemporary debates over harm are largely limited
to sex trafficking and sexual exploitation of children. Less
attention is paid to questions of how the sex industry perpetuates
notions of objectification and male entitlement with respect to
sexual access to women's bodies, despite being key feminist
concerns for several decades. This position has become effectively
marginalized, but the global growth and industrialization of the
sex industry requires a return to these questions. Through
exploring gendered inequality and re-engaging with an understanding
of prostitution as harmful with impacts on the self and body that
are experienced as abusive but do not always constitute violence,
this book introduces a range of research and thinking, while also
drawing on existing literature to explore the consequences of
prostitution for women in the sex industry and wider gender
relations. These issues are discussed with regard to: coercion and
recruitment, including trafficking; notions of male entitlement in
accounts of men who buy sex; critical interrogations of agency and
choice; legal and policy frameworks; and representations of
prostitution in popular culture.
