The debate on prostitution is dominated by simplistic and criminalizing positions that, from a moralistic, puritanical and exclusionary point of view, deny the word to sex workers and, therefore, prevent any debate that addresses the material and social complexities that cross this issue. In this context, this book is doubly necessary. It would be justified if it was written by sex workers and that it was based on the militant work and experience of sex worker collectives around the world. But its greatest virtue is that it never loses sight of the axis and the goal on which all policies and discussions on prostitution must be articulated: the lives, rights and well-being of sex workers.

In this sense, speaking from the defense of the life and well-being of people who engage in sex work means talking about the realities that make up their existence: sex, work, poverty, migration, borders, racism, sexism, transphobia, as well as the consequences that each of the models of legal regulation of prostitution have for their survival and safety. Because of this polyhedral, complex perspective and based on militant experience, Putas insolentes is surely the best approach to the controversial issue of sex work published in Spanish.
