On the flip side, activists have steadfastly focused on upholding
the human rights of sex workers and mobilizing collective efforts
to ensure the realization of these rights. By enhancing access to
education, financial resources, and healthcare for sex workers, this
strategy has significantly elevated their quality of life. Crucially, it
has contributed to the cultivation of a collective identity essential for
empowering sex workers with the courage and resources necessary to
confront the existing moral and legal framework. The achievements
of the activist approach serve as a paradigm for all marginalized
groups striving for their human rights. For a community to attain full
integration into society and ameliorate its circumstances, exclusive
reliance on the legal system is not prudent. Instead, marginalized
communities must collectively challenge the societal structures that
perpetuate their oppression. True empowerment for the community
can only be ensured through such concerted efforts.
