“…Consequently, those women who fall out of the category of the 'proper' victim are denied legal protection and become vulnerable to deportation (Andrijasevic, 2007: Crowhurst, 2007. Gender-normative aspect of existing trafficking provisions and the absence of protection schemes for sex workers has prompted scholars to argue that sex trafficking policies produce geographies of exclusion by means of which states regulate sexual moralities and define acceptable and unacceptable subject positions (Hubbard et al, 2008: Sayeed, 2006). …”

“…Hubbard, Matthews and Scoular note the movement of the sale of sex to less visible arenas, calling this phenomenon 'spatial switching' . 82 They argue, however, that such developments are not only due to the availability of the internet and mobile phones, but are also linked to how prostitution is regulated within the law. In Sweden, the purchase of sex is criminalised irrespective of where it takes place, so, according to Hubbard and others, the law was not expected to precipitate a move 'indoors' .…”

In this article, we present and discuss the intended and unintended effects of the Swedish Sex Purchase Act, which criminalises the purchase of sex within a context where the sale of sex is legal. Whether or not this means of regulating prostitution is successful, and whether it has negative consequences for people who sell sex, are important questions in international policy and academic debates. This article builds on a scoping study aimed at identifying relevant sources of information as to the consequences of the Swedish Sex Purchase Act, then summarising and discussing these findings. The article offers policy makers and scholars a comprehensive presentation of the evidence and a discussion of the methodological, political and theoretical challenges arising from this.

“…Research from this perspective focuses on how the workers view and interpret their own participation in the sex trade (Agustín 2005, Piscitelli 2007. From the other side, sex trafficking views prostitution as a contemporary form of slavery, violating women's rights and requiring greater international efforts toward eradication (Androff 2010, Cree 2008, Hubbard et al 2008. There are unequivocal differences in the voluntary versus coerced participation between the two.…”

Sex Laws and Sexuality Rights in Comparative and Global Perspectives

This article seeks to explain the emergence of a new field of study oriented toward sex laws and sexuality rights in comparative and global perspectives. We argue that this field comes into focus because of three changes in the social context: the introductions of sexuality into sex, of human rights into national laws, and of global into comparative perspectives. Each turn of the social kaleidoscope generates new objects of and rationales for scholarly analysis, along with new ways and reasons to think about existing objects of analysis. Together, these contextual changes inaugurate the global study of sexuality rights and invigorate the comparative study of sex laws. Theoretical shifts accompany the empirical developments. Phenomenological approaches arise alongside their realist counterparts. The consolidation of this new field of study is important not only on academic grounds: It suggests the dynamics of a wider field of policy and practice.
