Issues

Coalition for Rights & Safety for People in the Sex Trade is working on a number of legislative and policy change projects to enhance rights and safety for sex workers and people in the sex trade. Below is a list of some of the issues we are involved in.

  • Human rights-based policies
  • Safe access to medical and police assistance
  • Police accountability
  • HIV exposure/transmission law (including mandatory HIV testing for people convicted for prostitution)
  • Decriminalizing prostitution for youth
  • Homelessness, quality of life policing, and ending encampment sweeps
  • Protection for “contractor” workers such as dancers
  • Responding to and ending massage parlor raids
