Comercializando fantasias: a representação social da prostituição, dilemas da profissão e a construção da cidadania

Abstract: A prostituição constitui-se como uma prática milenar que tradicionalmente tem subvertido o exercício 'controlado' da sexualidade via instituições sociais. Tentativas de controle foram implementadas no passado, variando da satanização, isto é, o controle exercido pela instituição religiosa, passando pela proibição expressa em códigos civis, e chegando, finalmente, nos dias atuais no Brasil, à demanda pela sua legalização, como atividade profissional.Foi construído um vínculo, mais metafórico do que factual, ent… Show more

“…The National STD/aids Program, in the context of the epidemic, includes SW as one of the groups with specific needs that should be attended to. It is worth highlighting that actions involving this population, in combination with the research performed, have contributed to further knowledge on the reality of female prostitution in Brazil (8) . Therefore, this study was proposed to identify the prevalence of STD among sex workers from a medium-sized city in the interior of São Paulo State.…”

“…REV BRAS EPIDEMIOL SEP 2015; 18 SUPPL 1: [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] prostitution has aspects that remain in Brazil's Penal Code. Although the inclusion of "sex workers" in the Brazilian Classification of Occupations by the Ministry of Labor ensures the right to social security and other labor benefits, commercial activities related to prostitution (such as brothels) are illegal, which creates an extremely difficult context for sex workers to work safely.…”

“…A principios del siglo XX, se incorporó el abolicionismo al movimiento feminista que veía la prostitución como violación a los derechos humanos (Legardinier, 2009).

Actualmente, la polémica continúa.…”
