The harm of full decriminalization and the expansion of the sex trade:
Survivors throughout the world speak on why we need a partial decriminalization (SH4All) model below
We have the honor of hearing the voices of Survivor Leaders who have lived through the experience of sexual exploitation and have worked for years to end this harm. It is their voices that determine our action.
This panel of survivor leaders from the United States, Sweden, and Ireland, shared their experiences and their wisdom regarding the impacts of laws and policies on those who are sexually exploited, based on their lived experiences. Survivor Leaders also detailed the steps necessary to provide the support and services needed for those who are exploited and how we can effectively move toward ending the sexual exploitation of women, girls, and others.
