Learning About the Legal Approaches to Sex Work With Adrie Rose

Sarah speaks with Adrie Rose, @adrierising, about the legal approaches currently applied to sex work. Adrie is a sociology graduate student, freelance writer, photographer, and former sex worker, sidelined by the pandemic whose research focuses on the ways that financial institutions, online communities, and social media platforms respond to the criminalization of sex work. Adrie and Sarah discuss criminalization, the Nordic model, legalization, and finally, decriminalization - the approach that sex workers are fighting for. If you care about human rights, labor rights, feminism, stopping gendered violence, transphobia, misogyny, and racism - listening to sex workers is a great place to start.  Correction** I stated that France operates under partial criminalization. However, France adopted the Nordic Model in 2016.
