Abstract
This article explores the sexual objectification of female-identified
volunteers in social movements as a form of tactical prostitution, arguing
that tactical prostitution constitutes a violation of the dignity of women in
social movement spaces, while posing a threat to the wellbeing of women
and children in the larger public. This article investigates the Nonhuman
Animal Rights movement, particularly suggesting that tactical prostitution
is particularly counterintuitive in this context as it asks the public to stop
objectifying Nonhuman Animals with the same oppressive logic that it
wields by objectifying female activists. This critique is placed within a
systemic analysis of neoliberalism as it impacts social movements through
the formation of a non-profit industrial complex. This system encourages
the commodification of marginalised groups for institutional gain.
