The sale of sex is a broad, dynamic and complex phenomenon; it requires perspectives that address social phenomena from their complexities to understand the situated reality of those who participate in these practices. For their part, the feminisms have not only questioned the oppressions related to the sale of sex but have also made visible the agencies and resistance of those who offer; The questioning of sex and its commercialization acquire density as they move away from moral condemnations to understand it in relation to the cultural, economic and institutional characteristics of the time/space in which it is situated. One of these feminist views that does not shy away from complexity, but instead seeks ways to address it, is intersectionality. In this paper I seek to identify the uses and possibilities that this perspective (either as a theoretical tool or as an analytical/methodological framework) provides for the study of sex work today.
