Vice Squad

This discussion focuses on the broader societal implications of criminalizing sex work, particularly how it disproportionately affects marginalized communities. We will explore the economic, social, and health-related consequences that arise when sex work is pushed underground. Through the voices of community leaders, social workers, and individuals from affected neighborhoods, we will examine the ripple effects of these laws, including increased violence, poverty, and limited access to resources. By highlighting these interconnected issues, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of the urgent need for policy reform that prioritizes safety and dignity for all individuals involved.
