"The Whore Stigma"

"The Whore Stigma" refers to the negative social judgment and discrimination faced by women labeled as sex workers. This stigma often devalues their worth, disregards their autonomy, and associates them with moral failure, leading to social exclusion and unequal treatment. It perpetuates harmful stereotypes, making it difficult for sex workers to access justice, healthcare, or social support. Recognizing and challenging this stigma is important for promoting dignity, human rights, and equitable treatment for all individuals regardless of their profession.
