This paper is the third in a series of resources developed by the European Sex Workers’ Rights Alliance (ESWA) as part of its Digital Rights programme that explores the intersecting issues of sex work and digital rights. The widespread availability of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has transformed sex work in many ways. Today, sex workers in Europe (similar to many other parts of the world) have different tools to choose from when communicating with clients and advertising their services which result in different ways of working, each carrying benefits and potential threats to workers’ health and safety (Cunningham et al., 2018; Sanders et al., 2016; Swords et al., 2021). The impact of new technologies on work practices and workers’ rights are not limited to the sex industry. Similar transformations can be observed within other sectors, such as health, education, and agriculture, where workers traditionally enjoyed labour rights and privileges brought by long-term contractual employment relationships. Alongside the role that new technologies have played in changing ways of working in traditional industries, ICTs have also allowed another type of work to grow substantially in the last couple of decades: gig economy work.
