New York state is debating legalizing and lifting criminal penalties for sex work. The new bill, which has been written with DecrimNY, would make it legal to buy and sell sex under certain circumstances. Supporters say criminal penalties for prostitution haven’t worked, and legalization would improve sex worker safety while reducing trafficking and exploitation.
They claim many sex workers rely on their jobs to make ends meet, and that laws against prostitution only hurt vulnerable people with few other options. “For us, this is a bodily autonomy issue—our bodies, our choice—but more than that, it’s an economic issue. And it’s personal,” said DecrimNY. DecrimNY also tweeted, “.@DickGottfried reminds us that once upon a time, sex outside of marriage was criminalized, and not long ago, marriage between two people of the same gender was criminalized. Decriminalization of sex work is next!”
