“…As Jacquemart and Jaksic have argued, the law only provides support to those who leave the prostitution sector. While the law considers all sex workers as victims, as will be shown below, it paradoxically does not offer rights to all of them (Jacquemart and Jacksic, 2018). In so doing, the law provides an opportunity to redraw a moral border between those actively opposed to prostitution, those who consider themselves as victims, and those seen as approving of prostitution.…”

The 2016 law on prostitution in France introduced the so-called Swedish model approach to sex work, which, at the national level, criminalises those who purchase sex rather than the sex workers themselves. Alongside the repressive character of the law, lawmakers introduced a number of social policy measures through the implementation of a ‘prostitution exit programme’. Whilst some pioneering research has sought to evaluate the impact of penalising the clients of sex workers, no survey has yet focused on the outcomes of prostitution exit programmes. Based on qualitative data, including interviews with sex workers and grassroots organisations, this article aims to analyse how the programme was implemented and its overall outcomes. The interviews we conducted shed particular light on the fact that the implementation of the programme is impacted on by the application of restrictive migration policies.

“…Since the 2000s, its increasing proximity with radical feminism contributed to reinforcing the abolitionist narrative: eradicating prostitution has become a battle to be fought in the name of defending women's rights (Mathieu, 2014). Here as elsewhere (see e.g., Chapkis, 2003;Outshoorn, 2001), anti-trafficking arguments have been used in national parliamentary debates (Jacquemart & Jakšić, 2018) to promote a tougher stance on illegal immigration in the name of "sexual humanitarianism" (Mai, 2014) constructed around the idealized figure of a suffering female victim in need of rescuing (Agustín, 2007), whom the judge must protect. Indeed, the various legislative changes adopted in the last 20 years in France have all been made in the name of the protection of women, be it those criminalizing the sale (such as the Internal Security Act or Loi sur la Sécurité intérieure of 2003) or purchase (such as the law against the prostitution system in force since 2016) of sexual services.…”

Trafficking on Trial: The Judge, the Pimp and the Victim

Based on an ethnography of French trials for trafficking in human beings and aggravated procuring, this article seeks to contribute to the analysis of the reframing, in penal terms, of the struggles engaged in the name of social justice and women’s rights, of which anti-trafficking policies are particularly emblematic. Studying the judging practices and logics at stake during trials reveals how fantasized representations of the pimp and the victim take on substance. In particular, I argue that judges invoke a set of gendered, sexualized and racialized extra-legal norms, which, along with their legal foundations, constitute their knowledge base and impose a moral and penal hierarchy among litigants. Therefore, not only does this analysis contribute to defining the contours of the elusive figures of the pimp and the victim in the penal arena, it also exposes how maintaining public order is based on the perpetuation of a gendered and sexual national order in the name of gender justice.

“É uma vida esquisita, um pouco esquisita, mas boa”: entrevista com o parceiro de uma travesti em Paris

O artigo é redigido em torno de uma entrevista com o marido brasileiro de uma travesti sul-americana, ambos migrantes em Paris, onde ela é trabalhadora do sexo. Busco aqui mostrar um relato mais integral que ele elabora de suas vidas naquele momento. Ao resgatar a experiência de uma pesquisa iniciada em 2007, abordo algumas dificuldades de um trabalho de campo realizado em Paris; a prostituição no Bois de Boulogne, um parque em que trabalham principalmente pessoas trans; e, mais indiretamente, o contexto francês de políticas voltadas para a prostituição e para a migração.
