'Sex work is work. As we do with people engaged in all forms of employment, we need to extend rights and protections to sex workers.'
A new bill being proposed in the California state legislature “would prohibit a sex worker for being arrested if they are reporting any number of specified crimes, including sexual assault, trafficking, robbery, and burglary” according to Jezebel.
Under our puritanical system of banning sex work, sex workers are often afraid to come forward and report crimes that have happened to them for fear that they will also be implicated and arrested. The bill, SB 233, already passed in the Senate, and now is up for a vote in the State Assembly. It was initially proposed by State Sen.
ADVERTISEMENT SB 233 would also make it possible for sex workers to safely carry condoms. As the law currently stands, sex workers have been routinely arrested for the posession of condoms, as that is seen as proof of prostitution. Obviously, condoms make sex work safer, so it’s incredibly messed up that law enforcement has used them as a shortcut proof of a “crime.” Sex work is work.
