SUMMARY:

The current research is situated within the interdisciplinary intersection of Political Science and Law studies, aiming to intervene in three discussions and contribute to their theoretical dimensions. These discussions encompass: a) the relationship between so-called sexual minorities and the State and legislation, focusing on sex workers within these minorities as individuals engaged in "dangerous” (Kotiswaran, 2011; 2013) or "bad" sex (Rubin, 2011); b) the feminist politicization of sexual relations, its legislative efforts in this regard, and its commitment to the inclusion of marginalized groups in the State, drawing from the literature on governance feminism (Halley et al., 2006; 2018; 2019); and c) understanding how sex work is practiced, offered, and regulated - through the lens of governance of prostitution (Wagenaar; Altink, 2012; Wagenaar; Amesberger; Altink, 2017), a framework that advances the comprehension of the relationship between civil society and the State as sources of authority. To achieve this, a case study is conducted with the main objective of understanding the governance of sex work, elucidating the formal and informal dynamics that structure sex and sexuality, particularly through paid sex. The study explores how individuals involved in prostitution interact with these dynamics through ethnography conducted within a political collective of sex workers in the Federal District, Brazil.
