The War on Sex Trafficking

The war on sex trafficking is the new war on drugs and the results will be just as disastrous for perpetrators and victims alike perpetrators and victims. The activity now targeted under anti-trafficking efforts include everything from offering or soliciting paid sex to living with a sex worker to running a classified advertising website. These new laws are not organic responses to legislators in the face of an uptick in human trafficking activity or inadequate current statutes they are in large part the result of a decades long anti-prostitution crusade, says Elizabeth nomen brown.
