El otro trabajo: Análisis jurídico de la situación laboral y condiciones sociales de las trabajadoras sexuales (TS), en la ciudad de Sucre
Abstract
El reconocimiento de los derechos laborales y beneficios sociales, a favor de quienes ejercen la actividad sexual, amerita un amplio análisis y posterior estudio jurídico-legal de las condiciones en las que se desenvuelven las trabajadoras sexuales. Conocer la situación jurídica en materia constitucional, laboral, de salud y seguridad social de aquellas personas que optan por el trabajo sexual, como alternativa de subsistencia y fuente de empleo, reviste suma importancia cuando se intenta desglosar la génesis, pormenores y caracteres del trabajo sexual propiamente dicho, más aún, ante la difícil situación económica que atraviesan la mayoría de las mujeres, radicalmente víctimas de abandono familiar. La promulgación de ciertas leyes tales como una "Ley especial de protección de los derechos de la mujer", la ansiada "Ley de jubilación general sin distinción laboral" o quizá modificaciones a la actual "Ley de Pensiones" serán el espacio idóneo para lograr la concreción de mejoras en pro de las trabajadoras sexuales, sin embargo, restan varias interrogantes a resolver, entre ellas, ¿existen derechos reconocidos para las trabajadoras sexuales?; ¿se manifiesta una relación laboral en el trabajo sexual?; ¿la interrelación de instituciones gubernamentales permitirán mayores oportunidades para el grupo conformado por trabajadoras sexuales?. Estas preguntas, de carácter enunciativo y no limitativo, intentan desarrollarse a lo largo del presente artículo.
The recognition of labor rights and social benefits in favor of those who exercise sexual activity merits a broad analysis and legal study of the conditions in which sex workers work. Knowing the legal situation in the constitutional, labor, health and social security subjects of people who opt for sex work, as a subsistence alternative and source of employment, is extremely important when trying to break down the genesis, details and characteristics of sex work itself, especially given the difficult economic situation that most of the women are experiencing, radically victims of family abandonment. The enactment of certain laws such as a "Special Law for the Protection of Women's Rights", the long-awaited "General Retirement Law without distinction of employment" or perhaps modifications to the current "Pensions Law" will be the ideal place to achieve improvements in favor of sex workers, however, there are still a number of questions to be solved, among them, are there recognized rights for sex workers? Is there an employment relationship in sex work? Will the interrelation of governmental institutions allow greater opportunities for the group of sex workers? These questions of non-limiting nature are intended to be developed throughout this article.
