Abstract

The irreconcilability of clashing human rights principles in debates about the legal models regarding prostitution is widely known among policymakers and social activists in the field, worldwide. However, regulatory and public policy changes have taken place recently, or are taking place, in numerous countries, with relevant developments at the international/supranational level. Meanwhile, the discourse is characterised by a differentiation of terminology that is remarkably nuanced: the choice of words designates a speaker’s position in the debate, a document’s approach, and the intended impact of a measure. This study, which focuses on but is not limited to Europe, goes beyond exploring the implications and contexts of the terms “prostitution” and “sex work”; and the different interpretations of “dignity”.
