Riassunto analitico
Aim: To understand the extents to which abolitionist (prohibitionism, neo-abolitionism and abolitionism) and non-abolitionist (legalisation and decriminalisation) legislative approaches to sex work affect the right to health of sex workers in order to determine the most suitable approach to regulate sex work. Method: Desk research, the sources from which data was gathered include Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), government websites, and existing academic studies on sex work and on the right to health. Results: Partial and total criminalisation have a direct impact on condom use and distribution by using condoms as evidence of sex work, and they foster a climate of impunity that contributes to client and police violence against sex workers. Conversely, decriminalisation provides sex workers with rights, and it allows a shift of power from potential abusers towards sex workers. The same cannot be said for legalisation, as only registered sex workers have these advantages. Abolitionist approaches, and legalisation too to a certain extent, do not respect the principle of non-discrimination of the right to health. Conclusion: Abolitionist approaches to sex work seem to show bringing greater damage to the right to health of sex workers, than non-abolitionist approaches. Between decriminalisation and legalisation, decriminalisation appears to be the least damaging approach. Decriminalisation provides sex workers with labour rights and recognises sex workers as workers.
