Tolino, Serena (9 June 2022). Law, Public Health and the Construction of a Crime: Policing Sex Work in Egypt Before and After the Colonial Period (Unpublished). In: Ringvorlesung "Mainzer Kolloquien zur Turkologie und Orientalistik". University of Mainz. 21 April- 21 July 2022.
In this presentation I looked at the relation between law, public health and sex work in Egypt before and after the colonial period. I first introduced what classical Islamic law had to say on sex work and how it was organized in pre-modern and early modern Egypt. I then focused on the State regulation of sex work in the modern period, starting with 1798, the year of the French occupation, before coming to post-colonial discussions on abolition.
