As violências nas práticas de prostituição e a omissão estatal à vulnerabilidade feminina na prestação de serviços sexuais

Abstract

The paper showcases the many forms of violence in the realities of sex workers, which often are precede their entry into the activity. It proposes a brief analysis of the historical context of this activity and its workers, which indicates the construction and correlation of the character of indignity to these women, strengthened by religious morals that see the activity as a "necessary evil". In the same proportion, the effects of social discrimination manifest themselves in the legal sphere. The abolitionist system of protection for women in vulnerable situations chosen by the Brazilian government does not develop policies that corroborate its fundamentals. The State, in addition to neglecting the vulnerable situation of marginalized women, also reinforces a criminal justice system that increases the correlation between prostitution and violence. Violence against sex workers continues trivialized by the society that benefits from the service and legitimized by the State that increments it.
