All's not well in Sweden

Found this new blog from a sex-worker-positive writer - check out the report on the shortcomings of the so-called "Swedish model" of decriminalization, in which the buyers are criminalized but the sellers aren't. As you might expect, the law's not working as well as expected.

Louisiana steps out of the dark ages

Holy moly, they've been making some sex workers register as sex offenders in Louisiana up until now!! The good news is that they've stopped that practice.

Interesting to note that the most vulnerable and marginalized sex worker were the ones most likely to end up charged by police under the state's sex-offender laws. That's mostly how it is in Canada for prostitution charges overall, as 95 per cent of the charges in our country in any given year are brought against people working the outdoor strolls.
