Resisting silence and stigma: Mothering and sex work
This article will critically explore differing representations of sex work and motherhood linked to competing ideological perspectives on sex work from the perspective that frames it as the definitive transgression of gendered norms, to that which calls out the lack of necessary support and protections for sex workers. Central to this will be the foregrounding of evidence from sex workers' own management of subjective identities and their narrati…
I miss being honest’: Sex workers’ accounts of silence and disclosure with health care providers in Ireland
In this paper, female sex workers tell stories of their interactions with health care providers (HCP) in four cities in the Republic of Ireland. While Irish society has made great progress in listening to the sexual stories of women that were historically silenced (e.g. stories of abortion, sexual abuse), sex workers have not benefited from this new climate. Regularly silenced by parliamentarians and non-governmental organisations who speak upon …

Realising Justice for Sex Workers: An Agenda for Change
In the past two decades, feminist politics on prostitution has become more polarised and ideological. On the one hand, those on the radical spectrum of feminist politics have fought long and hard to criminalise sex purchase with the intention of ultimately abolishing prostitution.

The politics of injustice: Sex-working women, feminism and criminalizing sex purchase in Ireland
This article interrogates the discursive framing of recent law and policy debates on criminalizing sex purchase in Ireland and the implications this has for sex workers’ political voice. Drawing on Nancy Fraser’s work on the political dimensions of justice, we look at how Irish neo-abolitionists, through their Turn Off the Red Light (TORL) campaign, map and delimit access to political space and consequently misframe, misrecognize and misrepresent…
Problematizing Prostitution in Law and Policy in the Republic of Ireland: A Case for Reframing
This article attempts to uncover the discursive practices that have framed recent debates on prostitution in the Republic of Ireland. As Ireland prepares to introduce Swedish-style laws, which criminalize the purchase of sexual services, we are particularly interested in interrogating the dominant construction of prostitution in recent policy debates and consultations. Taking these spaces as sites for the reproduction of discursive and material p…
