Female prostitution and sexual rights... Possible dialogues?

Based on a personal experience of research and activism, this article addresses the mutual implications of the possible relationship between female prostitution and sexual rights as political fields. This reflection located in Brazilian during the first decade of the 21st Century. The text is structured around scenes as empirical ground to three intrigues. The first one deals with the lines of force that guide the relationship of Brazilian women prostitute movements in Brazil with sexual rights. The second one takes us to the field of rights advocacy; and the third one points to the experience of women prostitutes in contrast with hegemonic discourses on sexual rights. An analysis of use -of creations- is suggested. Instead of a final truth about a question, from this analysis rise other questions, splits and suggestions for further work.
