菲律宾性工作者集体是一个组织的现任和前任性工作者谁拒绝性工作的犯罪化和占主导地位的描绘性工作者作为victims.Based我的集体和其他50个性工作者在大马尼拉的领导人采访，我认为在本文中，一系列的上下文限制的能力，菲律宾性工作者有效地组织和游说他们的权利。例如，由于性工作被定为犯罪，该集体无法合法注册，这影响了他们获得资金和招募成员的能力。菲律宾打击贩运人口机构间理事会的结构配置激励民间社会组织坚持将性工作视为暴力侵害妇女行为的统一立场。在一个天主教占主导地位的国家，性工作的耻辱是另一个制约因素。最近，罗德里戈·杜特尔特总统的毒品战争被一些警察武装起来，以骚扰性工作者。最后，我反思了集体可以采取的策略，以驾驭有限的空间，他们有代表性，如关键的伙伴关系，外展工作，和法律的补救措施。
The Philippine Sex Workers Collective is an organisation of current and former sex workers who reject the criminalisation of sex work and the dominant portrayal of sex workers as victims. Based on my interviews with leaders of the Collective and fifty other sex workers in Metro Manila, I argue in this paper that a range of contextual constraints limits the ability of Filipino sex workers to effectively organise and lobby for their rights. For example, the Collective cannot legally register because of the criminalisation of sex work, and this impacts their ability to access funding and recruit members. The structural configuration of the Philippines’ Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking incentivises civil society organisations to adhere to a unified position on sex work as violence against women. The stigma against sex work in a predominantly Catholic country is another constraint. Recently, President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs has been weaponised by some members of the police to harass sex workers. Finally, I reflect on strategies the Collective could adopt to navigate the limited space they have for representation, such as crucial partnerships, outreach work, and legal remedies.
