Choice and trafficking are not easily discernable
In a recent quote surrounding concerns about sex work at the World Cup in which FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke said,
“Sex work is so tied up with human trafficking that you cannot separate the two. It’s not just an issue of just being liberal around people’s individual choice because most women and children involved don’t have a choice.”
This statement exemplifies the need for sex worker rights activists to step up to fight against trafficking within our industry. When the general public cannot discern between who of us may *choose* sex work and who is being harmed, we loose valuable avenues of possible support.
Ending trafficking means we clear the debris that hides who we really are, and what we really do.
