URIBE FORERO, Laura María. In Their Own Name. The Fight to Decriminalize Sex Work. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2020, n.58, pp.286-292. ISSN 0121-5167. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n58a13.
The text introduces the main arguments developed by Molly Smith and Juno Mac against the legalization and criminalization of sex work -weather it be partial, total or the nordic model- and in favor of decriminalization. The main theses put forth by the authors is that only the last model guarantees labor rights for sex workers. Even though they might overstate the positive impact of legislative change towards decriminalization, Smith and Mac present convincing arguments, especially when they urge the public to think about sex work not through what it may simbolize, but from the standpoint of the material outcome it has over those who engage in it.
