Abstract
Tradicionalmente, la intervención social, especialmente el trabajo social, ha asumido el reto de confrontar posicionamientos asistencialistas, paternalistas y punitivistas, a partir de la incorporación de discursos y prácticas centradas en el acompañamiento, que implican reconocer el protagonismo de las personas, familias, grupos o comunidades. Los distintos modelos jurídicos de abordaje de la prostitución han condicionado el posicionamiento profesional ante ésta, situándose mayoritariamente en visiones abolicionistas. A su vez, la progresiva politización de trabajadorxs sexuales y el surgimiento de colectivos en defensa de derechos, ha evidenciado su alejamiento respecto a algunas instituciones y organizaciones sociales y sus prácticas profesionales. Desde la inquietud de explorar este desencuentro y conocer las reivindicaciones de diferentes colectivos de trabajadorxs sexuales e investigadoras, para incidir en una mejor práctica profesional, se ha desarrollado un ciclo de lecturas durante 2023 y se han analizado los contenidos de cada una de sus sesiones. Los principales resultados nos muestran, en primer lugar, las dificultades vividas por las personas en situación de prostitución: precariedad, estigmatización, desprotección y violencia institucional; se identifican también las principales reivindicaciones que los movimientos de trabajadorxs sexuales; se identifican conflictos y puntos de fricción entre éstos y los activismos, así como puntos de encuentro y confluencias.
Traditionally, social intervention, including social work, has taken on the challenge of confronting welfare-oriented, paternalistic, and punitive approaches by incorporating discourses and practices focused on accompaniment, recognising the leading role of individuals, families, groups and communities. The different legal models for addressing prostitution have conditioned the professional stance on this issue, with most adopting abolitionist views. At the same time, the progressive politicisation of sex workers and the emergence of groups defending their rights has highlighted their distancing from some institutions and social organisations and their professional practices. With a view to exploring this disconnect and learning about the demands of different sex worker collectives and researchers, to influence better professional practice, a series of lectures was held during 2023 and the content of each session was analysed. The main results show us, first, the difficulties experienced by people in prostitution: precariousness, stigmatisation, lack of protection and institutional violence. The main demands of sex worker movements are also identified, as are conflicts and points of friction between them and other activist groups, as well as points of agreement and convergence.
