In her study of relations between prostitute and feminist movements from 1975 to 2020, Lilian Mathieu points out that most of the protagonists chose to overlook “that it was based on a draft bill—rarely mentioned in their exchanges— that granted the police additional repressive means to use against already particularly fragile and precarious populations, and displaying a logic of criminalizing poverty, that the debate on prostitution was born.”99 Carceral feminism “easily accommodated law and order and anti-immigration policies targeting (foreign) women and excluding them from the scope of women’s rights.”100 For Miriam Ticktin, the fact of combining “violence, sexual violence, and the surveillance of families” lead to “a clear action: the closing of borders.”101 While, as Jacquemart and Jakšić point out, carceral feminism is not new, while it is only one expression of a feminism still hampered in its objectives by the very thing it seeks to serve (the State), it is important to better understand its role in the growing apparatus of surveillance and punishment.
