S.s, whores and feminists: dialogues at belo horizonte

This article aims to show the ways in which feminist debates on prostitution at Belo Horizonte are updated and acquire new characteristics from the emergence of the “ S.walk ” and its relation with the prostitutes movement. The article presents part of the doctoral research data completed by one of the authors in 2015, including methods such as participant observation, in-depth interviews, documents collection, among others. Regarding the S.walk of Belo Horizonte, we conducted ethnography of the editions of 2012, 2014 and 2015, also participating in the mailing lists and the Facebook group of the organization members. We observed that the S.walk showed open to dialogue with the prostitutes in the city, but this debate is often permeated by preconceptions and gives little room for effective joint structures and actions.
