Pinto, Mattia orcid.org/0000-0001-7537-3942 (2024) Do sex workers have a right to have rights? Let the state decide and criminalise, says the European Court of Human Rights (Case Comment). European Human Rights Law Review. pp. 557-564. ISSN 1361-1526
Abstract
This case note comments on MA v France (63664/19) (ECtHR) on sex workers' challenge to the French law, intended to end the demand for sexual services, which criminalised customers and organisers of prostitution. It argues that the ECtHR's decision is disappointing but not surprising. Ultimately, MA should not be viewed as a setback but as an impetus to continue advocating for sex workers' rights more vigorously.
