Did you know that 75% of sex workers will be attacked at some point in their career? Did you know that 62% of trans people killed in the past decade were sex workers? While there has been a 97% decrease in arrests for sex work in Illinois in the last fifteen years, criminalization of adult consensual sex work continues to threaten the safety of sex workers.
You can help keep sex workers safe by supporting the full decriminalization of sex work between consenting adults. Decriminalization ensures that the government stays out of relationships between consenting adults. It also improves current and former sex workers' access to housing, education, healthcare, and employment.
Take action! Contact your elected officials today and ask them to support decriminalizing sex work to help keep sex workers safe!
