O Processo de marginalização da prostituição na sociedade brasileira e a invisibilização dessas profissionais

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This article aims to discuss the process of making prostitution invisible in Brazilian
society and to expose the mechanisms of marginalization to which sex workers are
subjected. The analysis starts from a historical and sociological perspective, showing
that, although prostitution is an age-old practice and has been recognized by the
Brazilian Classification of Occupations (CBO) since 2002, stigmas still persist and prostitutes suffer from a lack of effective policies that fully guarantee their labor and social security rights. The study demonstrates how the social construction of prostitution as a deviant practice contributes to the exclusion of women who practice it, reinforcing
inequalities and silencing their voices in the public sphere. By problematizing these
issues, the aim is to reflect on the need for public policies that recognize prostitution
as a legitimate work activity and ensure fundamental rights for sex workers.
