Of course they claim they were coerced': On voluntary prostitution, contingent consent, and the modified whore stigma
Author starts with looking back at the main tactic adopted during the Taipei prostitutes' movement, namely, the 'poverty as force' rationale, and argues that a campaign strategy that focuses on the justification of prostitutes' consent to their job does not help them much: instead, it reinforces the stigma on 'voluntary' prostitutes. Author argues that a focus on the practical working condition of sex workers is a more realistic and feasible strategy to prevent sex workers from being victimized.
