Abstract
This case note comments on MA v France (63664/19) (ECtHR) on sex workers' challenge to the French law, intended to end the demand for sexual services, which criminalised customers and organisers of prostitution. It argues that the ECtHR's decision is disappointing but not surprising. Ultimately, MA should not be viewed as a setback but as an impetus to continue advocating for sex workers' rights more vigorously.
