No Good Legislation Has to Sacrifice One Group of People to Protect Another: Talking Human Trafficking, Labor Rights, and Sex Work

Sarah speaks with Mariah Grant, a human rights and migration specialist with a focus on migrant and sex workers’ rights, freedom of movement, and labor exploitation. As the Research and Advocacy Director at the The Sex Workers Project of the Urban Justice Center she oversees Sex Workers Project advocacy efforts and development of original research.Mariah and Sarah discuss the initiatives of SWP, labor exploitation, and society's need for real and honest conversations about the realities of sex and work in general. The way SWP likes to look at human trafficking is that for human trafficking to be properly addressed it’s really about protecting and defending the rights of workers - a conversation that regardless of the kind of work we do applies to us all. Resources:The Sex Workers Project is a national organization that defends the human rights of sex workers by destigmatizing and decriminalizing people in the sex trades through free legal services, education, research, and policy advocacy. https://swp.urbanjustice.org/START ACT: https://startactny.org/Instagram: @sexworkersprojectDONATE: https://swp.urbanjustice.org/donate/SEX[UAL] HEALING - https://swp.urbanjustice.org/sexual-healing/#about-debut
