- Abstract
- Sex workers have organized in pursuit of political goals, with varying levels of success, since the 1970s. This paper explores factors influencing the success of political mobilization, specifically the relationship between the use of feminist theories of sex work and successful mobilization, in order to explain different levels of success among sex workers globally and to evaluate the utility of feminist theory in political action. This is accomplished through a comparison of successful and unsuccessful movements, determined by coalition building, engagement with government institutions, and influence on policy in New Zealand, India, and Sweden.
