Abstract: This paper looks at the social, philosophical and human rights issues around sex work, concluding that the so-called |New Zealand model| of decriminalisation and labour protection is more compatible with the fundamental human rights of sex workers and the |right of protection|, which is one of green economics| key concerns, than the alternative models provided by Sweden or the USA.

Keywords: prostitution; sex work; human rights; decriminalisation; social issues; philosophy; right of protection; green economics; labour protection; sex workers.
