Sex Work and the Law: the Case for Decriminalisation


Dialogue around the South Africa-based 2010 Soccer World Cup, proposals to introduce a moratorium on the harassment of sex workers by the South African Police Force, and the continued criminalisation of sex workers and their clients in South Africa sparked the production of this work. It outlines several key issues, considerations, challenges and recommendations for policy-makers, NGOs, sex workers and other actors in the fields of HIV and human rights, to help build a supportive and enabling environment for sex workers to realise their rights. The World AIDS Campaign would like to thank the Sex Worker Education and Advocacy Taskforce (SWEAT), the New Zealand Prostitutes Collective (NZPC) and Marlise Richter in particular for their time, effort, support and input into these factsheets.

Great article that hits the nail on the head on this issue. Probably won't pass it around at HEB but I will raise the issue as I have before within my circle of friends. If we can affect the opinions of those around us then I think we can eventually change society's perceptions.
will the price drop?

so how would you feel about that
Okay, I'll bite, what is a "HEB"?

Funny, I had a ton of fliers for the Sex Worker Sunday film fest at our wonderful Erotic Heritage Museum to raise money for Desiree Alliance (organization as a whole, not just the conference), so I kept putting them up on the Whole Foods bulletin board. Perhaps I'll do the same with this?

Exactly! I have brought the topic up during discussions with friends, acquaintances, alumni groups, my aestheticians...etc... and I can tell you that I have without a doubt changed the views of others by sharing little random tidbits, "planting seeds" and engaging in heated discussions. This is all part of activism and I'm so thankful that y'all are speaking up!
Will the price drop? Don't know, screening may be easier though ....

We've compared providers to cars...we've had discussions about value...etc.

How about we compare them to grocery items?

WTF, you go first.
