Grassroots legislation and sex work, Argentina

This paper discusses how sex workers from the sex worker organisation, AMMAR-Córdoba, Argentina developed proposals for new legislation through grassroots sex worker consultation. Involving sex workers in law making and monitoring is necessary because existing models have not only failed to improve social conditions for sex workers, but have negatively affected their vulnerability. In Argentina, the voluntary exchange of sexual services for money is not a crime, although provincial law in Córdoba forbids ‘disturbing or scandalous prostitution’.
