Summary: This article is intended to study the need for recognition of employment relationship among sex workers and the establishments where they work, using a legal and sociological view. The major jurisprudential understanding turns towards non-recognition of this employment relationship due to the illegality of the object of the employment, removing the workers of this category from the labor protection and labor rights to which they would be entitled. Prostitution as a profession has existed since the earliest civilizations, existing in our times as an activity present in most Brazilian cities. Nevertheless, prostitutes suffer from a process of stigmatization that refers them to the margins of society, a fact that is legitimized by the non-recognition of their status as workers as the others. Sex workers, according to the interviews accomplished, see prostitution as a profession similar to the others, despite suffering prejudice from society due to their activity. It is necessary that the labor courts recognize the profession of sex workers and give them the same protection given to other workers as a way to accomplish their role of giving the workers their constitutionally guaranteed rights and implement the principle of human dignity.
