As with other issues pertaining towomen’s bodies, prostitution discourse is largely concerned with determining whether this social practice isexploitative, empowering, or a consequence of immorality.Prostitution is here defined as a social practice by which men gain sexual access to the bodies ofpredominantly women, children, and sometimes other men, through the exchange of money, goods, or housing.Prostitution, as a social construct, arises from “men’s dominance and women’s subordination.”Most people take one of three salient positions on prostitution. The first position argues that prostitutionis a consequence of deficient moral character. This position draws heavily from patriarchal and religioustraditions that equate female sexuality with temptation and male sexuality with dominance and sanctionedinsatiability. The second position, the “sex work” position, asserts that prostitution is a valid form of labor andargues that prostitution is not inherently harmful to women. This position further contends that women have aright to decide what they will do with their bodies and that sex work, though oppressive for some, is potentiallyboth lucrative and empowering for other women. The third position asserts that prostitution is a consequenceof social, political, and economic inequality and argues that women are predominantly conscripted intoprostitution because of their social vulnerability. Political regulation of prostitution activity varies accordingto each nation’s underlying economic and social justice commitments.
