About
Outside of a few counties in rural Nevada, in-person consensual sexual acts for payment are illegal across the United States. Under the 10th Amendment to the U. Now, a coalition of advocates led by sex workers is trying to change that. The Oregon Sex Workers Human Rights Commission held a public hearing Thursday to talk about why they believe decriminalization will protect sex workers from violence, decrease health risks and help to protect BIPOC and transgender communities. It featured testimony from a panel of a dozen experts, as well as testimony from dozens of past and current sex workers, advocates and allies.
