Globally, ‘exiting’ programs are one of the key models of support offered to sex workers. In this chapter, we present a series of case studies that describe and explore ‘exiting’ programs, with examples drawn from a global program review. Shaped and framed by an understanding of sex work as purely harm or trauma and sex workers as exploited victims or deviants, each case study illustrates a particular problematic framing or issue linked to a ‘morality politics’. By setting legislative frameworks as the bounded context, our analyses consider the impact of different legislative contexts, including criminalisation, legalisation and the end-demand model (client criminalisation), and uses carceral protectionism as a framework through which to theorise the construction of the vulnerable sex worker as at risk to herself and society in an ever-expanding carceral context. The chapter elucidates how ‘exiting’ is used in the deployment of punitive and paternalistic responses to sex work and ultimately argues that the discourse of, and practices surrounding ‘exiting’ capitalises on these constructions to engage in carceral protectionism. Our findings reveal a discourse and practice that perpetuates dominant narratives of sex workers as deviants or victims (or both) and, as criminal or vulnerable, in need of control and protection. Ultimately, we show how ‘exiting’ programs that view sex work through a harm or deviance lens can operate as a domain of oppression in sex workers’ lives.
