dc.abstract.enAccess to justice is a fundamental right that ensures everyone is treated equally under the law and able to seek and receive fair protection without fear of discrimination, stigmatisation, or legal repercussions. However, for sex workers, this right is usually severely restricted. Criminalisation, stigmatisation, and social marginalisation result in crimes against sex workers being infrequently reported, inadequately investigated, and rarely handled with the necessary care. Additionally, when targeted as offenders, including for the (unauthorised or unlawful) provision of sexual services, soliciting, working together for safety, vagrancy, loitering, littering, or causing a public disturbance, or under repressive migration regulations, the rights of sex workers are often violated, and they are excluded from the legal protections to which they are entitled. This report examines the main challenges faced by sex workers while interacting with the justice system. It focuses specifically on the impact of policing on sex workers’ access to justice by exploring the role law enforcement plays in removing and reducing or producing and exacerbating miscarriages of justice against sex workers.
