This has been largely driven by a\u00a0diverse global network, including\u00a0Amnesty International, progressive political\u00a0leaders, activists, researchers and ordinary citizens, who continue to take action to stop\u00a0the discrimination and human rights violation associated with homosexuality and\u00a0sex work. The article reinforces how a\u00a0modern society needs to be open to the notion that paid sexual interactions\u00a0can be a deliberate and rewarding choice for many, that there are acceptable reasons\u00a0for sex work to exist, and that women and men who buy or sell sex should be\u00a0free to do so without fear or harm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To read the full article, <a href=\"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/1363460716684510\" target=\"_blank\">click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CJRC researchers Professor John Scott and Adjunct Professor Victor Minichiello have contributed to a commentary article &#8220;Reversing the agenda of sex work stigmatization and criminalization: Signs of a progressive society&#8221;\u00a0recently\u00a0published in the international journal Sexualities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":372,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,9696],"tags":[15185,9813,9759,11639],"class_list":{"0":"post-2294","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-uncategorized","7":"category-publications","8":"tag-article","9":"tag-johnscott","10":"tag-sexwork","11":"tag-victorminichiello"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/372"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2294"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2299,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2294\/revisions\/2299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/crime-and-justice-research-centre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
