COYOTE RI Presents: Sex WorK Policy #1

Sex Work Policy Podcast #1

Sit back and listen as we explore the complex intersections of sex work, law enforcement, and public policy. One study examines Craigslist's impact on violence against women, finding that its "erotic services" section surprisingly reduced female homicides and rapes. Other sources detail the extensive surveillance technologies used by law enforcement to monitor sex workers, raising serious privacy concerns and highlighting the disproportionate targeting of marginalized communities. A further body of research presents survey data from sex workers themselves, revealing their experiences with violence, discrimination, and the inadequacies of existing support systems. Finally, legal and policy analyses advocate for the decriminalization of sex work, arguing that current laws exacerbate harm and fail to address the root causes of sex trafficking.

Retraction:

RI did not accidentally decriminalize indoor prostitution, as they mentioned it happened through the courts. See page 3 https://www.rilegislature.gov/commissions/MIC/commdocs/2-28-2022---Steven%20Brown--RIACLU%20Testimony.pdf
