Agustín, L.M. (2005). Helping Women Who Sell Sex: The Construction of Benevolent Identities. Social interventions aimed at helping the group positioned as most needy in Europe today, migrant women who sell sex, can be understood by examining that time, 200 years ago, when 'the prostitute' was identified as needing to be saved. Before, there was no class of people who viewed their mission to be 'helping' working-class women who sold sex, but, during the 'rise of the social,' the figure of the 'prostitute' as pathetic victim came to dominate all other images.

Bindel, J. and Kelly, L. (2003). A Critical Examination of Responses to Prostitution in Four Countries: Victoria, Australia; Ireland; the Netherlands; and Sweden. 80 p. “Prostitution has proved a vexatious issue for politicians and policy makers. From the mid-nineteenth century to the late twentieth century there were two broad positions: the ‘abolitionist’ and the ‘regulatory’. More recently a third possibility has been explored - legalisation. Currently in the UK, after decades of neglect, a debate is emerging with respect to prostitution, in the wake of new research and widespread disquiet in relation to trafficking and sexual exploitation of children.”

Bindman, J. and Doezema, J. (1997). Redefining Prostitution as Sex Work on the International Agenda. Anti-Slavery International and the Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP). The report recommends that all national legislation which, in intent or in practice, results in the placing of sex workers outside the scope of the rule of law, should be repealed. The redefinition of prostitution as sex work is proposed as a preliminary condition for the enjoyment by sex workers of their full human and labour rights.
