We All Sell Something: The Fight for Sex Workers’ Rights (Books That Fight Back Series)

About this book

We buy their bodies. We use their labour. We consume their stories. Then we punish them for existing.What does that say about us?We All Sell Something takes you behind India's sex-work debate and into the uncomfortable realities of trafficking, poverty, policing, healthcare, stigma, constitutional rights, and human dignity.Through real cases, court judgments, research, survivors, activists, and communities, Sree Krishna Seelam, a practicing lawyer, author, and public-interest advocate, writes with fury, rebellion, and unflinching honesty about the people society would rather keep invisible.He draws a hard line between consensual adult sex work and the trafficking and exploitation of children, while asking what happens when protection becomes punishment and when laws designed to protect the vulnerable become instruments of control.This is not a book written to make you comfortable.It is written to challenge what you were taught, expose what society prefers to hide, and force one uncomfortable question:Why did we ever believe dignity was ours to give?
