🗣 Trafficking and sx work are not the same. Anti-trafficking policies that criminalise aspects of sex work push workers into unsafe conditions, where they can't seek help or report abuse. We need laws that protect sex workers' rights, not ones that further marginalise them.

📢 We call for evidence-based, human-rights-focused approaches that centre the voices of sex workers. Let’s fight trafficking without harming the people who choose to work in the sex industry.
