Abstract

The article explores what it means inhabiting from the perspective of sex workers. The aim is twofold: on the one hand, it seeks to reframe the discourse on prostitution by broadening the geographies through which it is understood. On the other hand, by using sex work as a lens, it aims to challenge the exclusionary assumptions inherent in the housing system, highlighting how the home is a central site for the manifestation and perpetuation of stigma.
