The Society for the Study of Social Problems accepted a resolution supporting the decriminalization of prostitution written by Jenny Heineman, co-coordinator of the Sex Workers’ Outeach Project-Las Vegas (SWOP-LV), plus they honored SWOP-LV at a banquet in Aug. 2011 for the organization’s social justice advocacy. Here’s a link to the resolution: http://www.sssp1.org/index.cfm/pageid/1516#R3 .

I appreciate how the resolution addresses human trafficking without conflating all sex work with trafficking or using this issue to promote the harmful laws against sex workers. This shows how being anti-slavery and anti-trafficking doesn’t have to mean being anti-sex work.
