Benjamin Nolot and Laila Mickelwait discuss how the global pro-prostitution movement has used the promotion of the term “sex work” as a way to legitimize and normalize the commercial sex industry. They talk about the way in which the term “sex work” is deeply embedded with meaning, and how it sets an entire framework for understanding prostitution and shaping legislation.
