Abstract

Yvette Butler has published "Silencing the Sex Worker" in Volume 71 of the UCLA Law Review.

This Article makes several contributions. Firstly, it contributes to feminist philosophical literature by coining the “Cycle of Epistemic Oppression” as a tool to excavate silencing within the law. It then examines how this cycle operates in the context of sex work policy making. Finally, this examination demonstrates the wide applicability of the Cycle of Epistemic Oppression to diverse areas of law.
