Abstract

The implications of sexual work in the legal arena have historically had their detractors and supporters, debates represented in various legal trends, an issue that is not easily addressed taking into account its approach to the moral plane, coupled with the blurred boundaries with illegality. The State as an institution has a decisive role in view of the implications that are put on the table when addressing the social phenomenon of prostitution not only in a local context, but in a time where laws evolve according to an international panorama, posing no few dilemmas to the phenomenon that goes beyond the territorial limits, being the case with ruling T-629 of 2010 that opens the discussion in Colombia regarding the recognition of the activity of prostitution as work and its implications in the economic and social dimensions.
