Ane Mathieson and Alexi Ashe MeyersIn the past year, bills to fully decriminalize the sex trade were introduced in both the Washington, D.C., and New York State legislatures. The bills were accompanied by aggressiveThis question divides many people when discussing the sex trade, which includes stripping, brothel- , street- , gang- , internet- , and hotel-based prostitution, as well as pornography.
Every day, at Sanctuary for Families, we work with victims and survivors of prostitution, commercial sexual exploitation , and sex trafficking. We witness the devastating impact the sex trade has on our clients, physically and mentally. The sex trade is athat exploits the most vulnerable among us for the profit of others. It is a market where people—usually individuals with the least amount of social power—are bought by men with disposable income and an urge to engage in non-mutual sexual acts.
Nope. Listen to sex workers, save women and support decriminalisation.
Try LISTENING to us and stop letting SWERFs speak for and over us. We demand full decriminalization.
Apparently sociopathy is in for winter - not a good look. Please stop trying to get us killed.
This isnt it! Listen to sex workers and CALM. DOWN.
The “Equality Model” or “The Nordic Model” is just a euphemism for End Demand prohibitionist policies which stem from the original “American Plan” of 100 years ago. It’s not about “protection” but a protection racket posing as social policy.
Marie Claire,
Decrim.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is some foolishness.
You literally have no idea what you're talking about and in this case your ignorance is super dangerous.
equality model is a lie and literally just the Sheridan strategy that whites used against Native Americans ('Kill Every Buffalo You Can! Every Buffalo Dead Is Indian Gone') but targeting women like me (women who LIKE sex work) fulldecrim is the only sane option Screw SWERFs
This magazine and website are now banned from my house.
Ah The inequitymodel Ignorant uninformed civilians really love talking about us these days. Were so popular. Know that you are complicit in the deaths caused by further criminalization. Listen to sex workers or stay the fuck out of the conversation.
I can’t even begin to break down what’s wrong with this article but let’s begin by reminding you that articles like this that demonise sex work furthers the stigma that keeps kind clients away for fear of being labelled a rapist when they just want a connection.
“They're violent, they hurt us, they steal from us, they rape us.” This is terrible, and why work can’t continue to be pushed underground. Assault, labor trafficking, & theft will still be illegal when decriminalization is enacted, though, & it’s disingenuous to suggest otherwise
Nope
You are so wrong about this it actually hurts. You're promoting propaganda by white knights that refuse to engage sexworkers in conversation seeing them all as victims. Decriminalisation is the way forward. Not everyone is a victim. Not all sex workers are women.
This is garbage. Full decrim is the way. Maybe listen to SWs on this.
This is trash.
Absolutely & unequivocally wrong.
Shame on you for promoting the eugenist model. Criminalisation kills us.
This is
imagine loving cops like this
how many sex workers have you spoken to about this? cos they will tell you that you are wrong.
Because nothing says safety or eqjality like repackaging a model (nordic) that led to even more harm against sex workers with a nationalist name (equality model? Seriously? Thats like fucking Freedom Fries) to sell gourself/uplift your social image. Hell yeah! /sarcasm
Oh come on nothing short of full decriminalizarion and a clearing of records for sex workers can be considered justice
The whole article cites actual victims of the sex trade. So depressing to see so many sisters on here so brainwashed by our porn soaked culture. We can ask for better girls. Any true feminist would.
Clearly whoever wrote this has never been a sex worker or has done enough research.
WRONG
No, no. It is.
Try talking to an actual sex worker sometime as opposed to appointing yourself to talk for them. You would be surprised at what you might learn
Y'all thought you had something here lmfao... Some real old bitches running Marie Claire
Don’t mess this up. Listen to us. Plenty of information if you just look at decrimnow
Hi ! Another sex worker here to tell you that you’re very wrong. Sex workers want decriminalization. Decriminalization IS the answer. How embarrassing for you.
Former sex worker here and I have a PhD (the former is more relevant). I study the sex industry including state, ntl, and global policy and literally all the experts— from sex workers themselves to human rights orgs— say that decrim is the answer.
Nah. It isn't.
No the fuck it isn’t. Decrim is what actual sex workers want!
Marie Claire shut your mouth.
Sex workers do NOT want de-facto criminalization, which is what the Orwellian-named 'Equality Model' actually is.
Low IQ magazine advocating for the Swedish plague to fake knowledge on a subject they know nothing about.
Absolutely not! We want full decriminalization!
Prohibition of vice always works out for the best. It certainly doesn't harm the most vulnerable or turn our streets into war zones. Thanks Marie Claire for your wise words.
Really pleased to see this in - Protecting & supporting women AND ending demand is the answer to the escalating harms of the sex trade. Find out more nordicmodelnow
A very foul piece of hatred. Why does your publication offer a platform for people to spread lies and hostility about marginalized people, who are already persecuted far beyond any reason?
Get fucked marie clare
This is harmful propaganda against sex workers, and I’ll be boycotting your magazine and urging all of my friends and followers to boycott you as well. Stick to cosmetics, Marie Claire, you’re out of your lane.
