Description

How should the the government regulate sex work? Should sex work be legal, or decriminalized? What are the biggest issues facing women in this industry? Sex work policy journalist and advocate Cathy Reisenwitz joins the podcast to talk about how the state deals with the 'oldest profession', and what changes she believes society should make. We discuss current laws, how police and other institutions frequently mistreat sex workers, and how to balance between protecting sex workers from harms while not penalizing non-harmful situations.
