Activities Lectures

Free admission with previous inscription.

The people who charge for their sexual services have been called many things, from the most stigmatising, like ‘hookers', to the ones that provide a better self-image, such as ‘sex workers', by way of the more or less neutral term ‘prostitutes'. Society labels, marginalises and points the finger at the stigmatised sectors as possible receivers of aggressive behaviour. And so the image given (in the media and speeches) of a particular group is not only a reflection of the position they occupy in society but an element from which that position is laid out.
Thinking about the social image of sex workers enables us to work on the stereotypes and see where society places its limits of flexibility at any time.

Taking part in the debate are the associations working in the field and the sex workers themselves.

Organised in association with LICIT (Line for Investigation and Cooperation with Immigrants and Sex Workers).
