I will weave together the latest research on sex work in the U.S. and abroad with interviews I did with many sex workers, ranging from high-end escorts to street walkers, to show why U.S. laws that criminalize prostitution are a failed and counterproductive strategy and why decriminalizing adult prostitution makes sense from a public health and safety perspective. I will talk about why Amnesty International, the UN AIDS Group, and the World Health Organization all support the decriminalization of sex work. For example, I will explain why countries, where prostitution is legal, have safer working conditions for sex workers, lower overall rates of HIV and reduced levels of violence against all women, as compared with countries where sex work remains illegal.
