HIV is not a crime and doing sex work while living with HIV shouldn’t be either.

Violence in sex work exists bc of racism Violence in sex work exists bc of poverty Violence in sex work exists bc of stigma Violence in sex work exists bc of criminalization Violence is NOT just an “inevitable” part of sex work and to say so is to give power to all the above.

I’m so tired of movies about sex workers made by people who have never been in the sex industry. This proves that there IS a huge hunger for sex worker stories by mainstream audiences. They just won’t let sex workers themselves contribute to the narrative.

@SabraMBoyd @AngelStudiosInc I love how trafficking stories only become trafficking stories when the ivory tower of non survivors says so.

@SabraMBoyd @AngelStudiosInc Myself and so many survivors I know tried so hard for so many years to get the media to listen about this. I guess now they’ve decided it’s “breaking” news and not long ignored news. Maybe listen to survivors from the start.

When it comes to sex trafficking, America puts everything into excuses to lock more people up and further criminalize sex work as a political red herring. Sex trafficking victims deserve better. My latest. Plz share widely
