摘要:This article starts from the idea that the current debate on prostitution presents a serious lack of knowledge regarding the history of feminist struggles against prostitution and trafficking of women. From our perspective, viewing prostitution as a patriarchal form of domination is part of the origins which have shaped feminist consciousness. During the nineteenth century both suffragist authors and militants of the Women’s Suffrage movement with Enlightenment roots, as well as socialists, agreed when conceptualizing prostitution as an institution based on gender and also class exploitation that could and should be abolished in a society of equals. Sylvia Pankhurst denounced the situation of prostituted women in society and the attempt to introduce a system of state regulation of prostitution in Britain during the First World War. Her contributions to this debate as a feminist and a socialist are analyzed in this paper.
