ABSTRACT
This chapter attempts to show how Adriana Cavarero's voice offers alternative approaches of resistance to both moralizing position of law and objectification of women in commercial sex. It shows how focus on one's voice has precisely the potential to come alive when considering objectification of women in sex work. The chapter also shows how one's voice disrupts male's symbolic representation of himself and that of women – it explores the example of law. This means that for a sex worker there is also the possibility of resisting from herself and her vulnerability rather than by repeating a stronger but given identity. The chapter analyzes law's construction of sex workers in relation to objectification and will specifically focus on the case law of R v Gary Lee Cole and Stephen Kevin Barik in 1993. It reflects on objectification and human interactions through the scholars such as Martha Nussbaum, Judith Butler and Cavarero herself.
