TL;DR: The Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics (COYOTE) movement as mentioned in this paper is the central organization in the social movement to challenge traditional definitions of prostitution as a social problem and place the social problem of prostitution firmly in the discourse of work, choice and civil rights.
Abstract: COYOTE (an acronym for “Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics”) is the central organization in the social movement to challenge traditional definitions of prostitution as a social problem. Using historical documents, this work focuses on COYOTE's campaign to sever prostitution from its historical association with sin, crime, and illicit sex, and place the social problem of prostitution firmly in the discourse of work, choice and civil rights. COYOTE has done this through extended debate with law enforcement officials over discrimination and selective enforcement of the law, with the feminist movement over the freedom of women to control and use their bodies as they see fit, and with public health agencies over the role of prostitutes in the AIDS epidemic. Combined, these concerns form the foundation of COYOTE'S crusade to redefine prostitution as a social problem.

Abstract: Are social movement organizations euro-sceptical, euro-pragmatic, or euro-opportunist? Or do they accept the EU as a new level of governance to place pressure on?
