Global and Local Sex Workers Rights Movement in 2018 (Perspectives On Global Justice)
Penalized for Choosing to Have Adult Consensual Sex?
Thanks to sexual revolution movement, many societies went through profound changes in the attitudes towards sexuality, homosexuality, pre-marital sexuality and sex, and freedom of sexual expression. Although it is true that many people still carry conservative attitudes towards sex and sexuality, for the most part, it is socially acceptable for men and women to have sex as often as they want with with whom they want, as long as it is consensual. Some people choose to not get married or be in a relationship at all. Many choose to live a single life, which is not to be confused with being alone. In 2018, one has the option to be in a monogamous, polyamorous, long term, short term or casual relationships. Yet, sex work and sex workers rights are not recognized in most societies. Most countries have laws that makes sex work illegal and both sex workers and their clients are heavily penalized for choosing to have adult consensual sex. Let’s talk about that. And more.
