New York Senator Introduces Bill To Decriminalize Sex Work In The State

A new bill aimed at decriminalizing the act of selling sex in New York was introduced in the state Senate. New York Senator Liz Krueger recently introduced the Sex Trade Survivors Justice & Equality Act, which was created with the help of sex workers and advocates. The bill is based on the so-called “equality” or “Nordic” model, which would repeal the crime of selling sex.

“We must empower and support people currently or formerly in the sex trade,” Krueger said in a tweet about her support of the bill. The bill aims to give and get sex workers help, instead of jail sentences, in part by preventing the “unlicensed practice of a profession” arrests of people working in illicit massage parlors when there’s evidence of exploitation. “We want to make sure that instead of criminal penalties and jail, we are providing health care, mental health care, etc.,” she added.

Sex Work Would Be Legalized In New York Under New Bill

inflatable-tubeNew York state is debating legalizing and lifting criminal penalties for sex work. The new bill, which has been written with DecrimNY, would make it legal to buy and sell sex under certain circumstances. Supporters say criminal penalties for prostitution haven’t worked, and legalization would improve sex worker safety while reducing trafficking and exploitation.

They claim many sex workers rely on their jobs to make ends meet, and that laws against prostitution only hurt vulnerable people with few other options. “For us, this is a bodily autonomy issue—our bodies, our choice—but more than that, it’s an economic issue. And it’s personal,” said DecrimNY. DecrimNY also tweeted, “.@DickGottfried reminds us that once upon a time, sex outside of marriage was criminalized, and not long ago, marriage between two people of the same gender was criminalized. Decriminalization of sex work is next!”
