Sex Worker and Prostitution Issues: Student Homepage
STUDENT FAQ
"I am in a debate class (or writing a paper) about the
legalization
(or decriminalization) of prostitution or trafficking vs sex work. How can
I get information?"
- First go to a report
from The San Francisco Task Force on Prostitution, and read the Executive
Summary and Summary of Recommendations (and you can skim or read the
entire report.)
What people in the US think of when they think of prostitution, is
on the street, however this is because street prostitution is the
most visible. Street-based sex workers receive the brunt of discrimination,
and are also more frequently arrested.The majority of prostitution
in the US and most places is not street prostitution-- most
prostitution is hidden, indoors.
- Next, refer to the a piece
about the definitions and meanings of decriminalization or legalization
of prostitution
- This site has arguments on both sides. http://prostitution.procon.org/
- BAYSWAN is currently updating statistics. Older
the statistics are here and and can apply
some to your argument.
- Perhaps there is room in your report for an example
of model legislation.
This would be quite helpful as it helps people envision a decriminalized
system.
