Why the idea that prostitution is a form of ‘work’ must be rejected
The Communist Party of Britain issues the following public statement on prostitution

PROSTITUTION is one of the worst forms of human exploitation. Although we recognise that some men and boys are exploited in this way it remains the case that the vast majority of those trapped in the sex trade are women and girls therefore, we centre this statement on women and girls.
We extend unwavering solidarity and empathy to all those who are trapped in the sex trade and, as communists, it is incumbent on us to put forward a class analysis of prostitution.
Those who founded the labour and trade union movement did so in a period where millions of women and children were forced to sell their bodies to survive but they did not support prostitution as form of “work.” They correctly saw prostitution as a social ill to be eradicated.
