Some highlights:

Quote:

"There's going to be an excess of vulnerable people in jail as opposed to receiving services," said Soma Snakeoil, a sex worker and co-founder of the Sidewalk Project, an advocacy and direct services organization that works with houseless people in Los Angeles. "Sex work is not human trafficking and human trafficking is not sex work, and conflating the two and then using the idea of human trafficking as a way to arrest sex workers is incredibly, incredibly dangerous."


I like how that one emphasizes sex work and human trafficking are 2 separate things. Too often the Human Trafficking label is slapped on all sex work, because it is a buzz word that leads to funding that has dried up since CL and BP died.
Quote:

In the lead-up to Super Bowl LIV two years ago, the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office said it made dozens of trafficking-related arrests and recovered 20 trafficking victims. An investigation by Miami New Times found that many of the arrests were of sex workers who were "simply looking to make ends meet."


All the press released stats are always bullshit. They probably arrest a handfull of out of town whores and then just round up the usuals to puff up the #s for the story in the local papers.

Quote:
According to a statement by Kristina Rose, director of the Office for Victims of Crime at the Department of Justice, the U.S. government also funds direct services such as housing and legal assistance to trafficking victims.


Kristina Rose landed herself a plum gubment gig. Her balloon knot .ust be bored as hell.
