| description | Through the methodology of critical discourse analysis, this article examines current prostitution as a phenomenon anchored in various power matrices, which trace a network of domination and colonization of the body that is somewhat legitimized by neoliberal dynamics and from what Carole Pateman (1995) understands as a sexual contract. The Colombian case and the current legal evolution of the phenomenon of prostitution are presented, and it is found that in the country there is a tendency towards the regulation of the same, under a discourse on the labor rights of sex workers, however unaware that the recognition of said rights do not necessarily counteract the phenomena of precarious economy mapping and lack of real opportunities. This means that in contexts of domination and unequal hierarchy, women are exploited and the existence of human trafficking is facilitated. |

A través de la metodología de análisis crítico del discurso, en este artículo se examina la prostitución actual como un fenómeno anclado en diversas matrices de poder, las cuales trazan una red de dominación y colonización del cuerpo que es en cierta forma legitimada por las dinámicas neoliberales y por lo que Carole Pateman (1995) entiende como contrato sexual. Se presenta el caso colombiano y la actual evolución legal del fenómeno de la prostitución, y se encuentra que en el país se tiende hacia la reglamentación del mismo, bajo un discurso de los derechos laborales de las trabajadoras sexuales, empero desconociendo que el reconocimiento de dichos derechos no contrarresta necesariamente los fenómenos de cartografías de economía precaria y de falta de oportunidades reales. Esto conlleva a que en contextos de dominación y jerarquía desigual se explote a la mujer y se facilite la existencia de trata de personas.

Apresenta-se o caso colombiano e a atual evolução jurídica do fenômeno da prostituição, e constata-se que no país há uma tendência à sua regulamentação, sob um discurso dos direitos trabalhistas das profissionais do sexo, porém, desconhecendo que o reconhecimento da tais direitos não necessariamente contrariam os fenômenos das cartografias da economia precária e da falta de oportunidades reais. Isso significa que em contextos de dominação e hierarquia desigual, as mulheres são exploradas e a existência do tráfico de pessoas é facilitada.
