One thing anti-human trafficking experts remain deeply divided on is the spectrum of legal stances regarding commercial sex.

This month is trafficking prevention month. You'll see a lot of 101 and general awareness materials from Love146 and others. But perhaps you're ready for a deeper conversation about these issues? Join us next Monday, January 24th, for a conversation about sex work, exploitation, and trafficking.

We would all want to see a world free of violence, harm, and exploitation. But how we go about it, we don’t always agree on. There’s widespread agreement in the anti-trafficking movement that we have to address the social determinants that make people vulnerable, such as housing insecurity, poverty, discrimination. But one thing anti-human trafficking experts remain deeply divided on is the spectrum of legal stances regarding commercial sex — such as questions of legalizing or decriminalizing prostitution, sex trade reform, and how to draw the line between voluntary sex work, exploitation, and trafficking.
Debates on anti-trafficking and sex trade reforms divide most advocates into four camps: legalization, full decriminalization, partial decriminalization, and outright criminalization. Three experts on this topic will join a panel to:
* Explain and dissect the four models
* Explore their contrasting views based on their expertise as advocates working with trafficking individuals or individuals in the sex trade, as well as their own lived experiences
* Identify areas of common ground and opportunities for meaningful reform, both in our state and nationally.
