I'll be glad to take this review. -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:40, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After a first readthrough of the article, it appears to me that while this is a good start, this still has some significant work to do before meeting the Good Article criteria. There's some great stuff in here, including a good discussion of the prostitution legalization debate in the present day. The biggest problem is that the article is primarily focused on the US and Europe, while this is a worldwide issue. For example, the section called "Strip club employment issues" appears to discuss only the UK. The article should also give a historical overview of sex workers' rights, or the sex workers' rights movement--who coined the term "sex workers' rights"? Where are its primary advocates, and what have been the movement's successes and failures? What have sex workers' rights been defined to be by various groups? This is all a problem under criterion 3a.

I'd suggest revising to take a broader look at the subject both in terms of geography (including Africa, Asia, Latin America) and time (explaining the evolution of the concept, notable sex workers' rights movements in various countries). For now, unfortunately, I don't think this is ready to be listed as a good article. -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:14, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
