I recommend that everyone reads this book. Fantastic explanation of modern sex work and prostitution and what can be done to improve sex workers rights.
“Decriminalising sex work will not solve all the injustices of the world: that is too huge a problem for any one legislative change. But it will make people who are selling sex, right now and tomorrow, safer while they are doing what they need to in order to survive. That is profoundly worthwhile.” pg 207.
(I didn’t give it 5 stars as I thought some chapters were repetitive)
