Prostitution Policy Watch is an extensuion project of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, hosted by the Instituto de Planejamento Urbano e Regional da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (IPPUR-UFRJ). Beginning in 2013, we have undertaken ethnographic and bibliographic research, documentary research and various extension activities that contribute to widening the space for public debates and policy change regarding sex work, always giving pride-of-place in this process to sex worker activists who seek to have sex work recognized as a professional category. We thus seek to circulate various meanings of prostitution in public spaces, seeking full recognition of the rights of sex professionals to the city and to their engagement in sex work.
