1904. SEX DRUGS & Homelessness⚠️

The decriminalization of sex work is not separate from but continuous with the decriminalization of drug dealing and open drug scenes, which are characterized by violence, death, and sexual assault, according to the people who live in them.

There's nothing compassionate here:

"Drug use appears to be a major motivating factor for survival sex trading....once someone becomes a victim of sexual or physical abuse, they are then more likely to use drugs, and eventually to engage in sex trading."
