Abstract

Among the multiple meanings attributed to prostitution, nowadays we may understand it as a consolidated as work, even if of informal nature. As shown by history, this activity persists in the face of adversity, prejudice, and stigma. This study aims to contribute to the discussions about prostitution as a profession among women. By means of an exploratory qualitative research, it is expected to capture the reality, concepts, and factors surrounding the lives of these professionals – whose social position implies numerous controversies of acceptability. It also intends to investigate the existence or not of precariousness in the work environment, thus grasping an epistemological knowledge of the phenomenon.
