    If we’re going to keep sex work illegal, I’d much rather they arrest the people paying for it than the workers.

      I’d rather they arrest the pimps and sex traffickers who exploit women and force them into it, but that’s just me

        That is a reasonable proposition. Have you considered, however, that those are the people that make the money off it? I’m not too confident they’d do something about them until they become a competitor to an even bigger fish.

      Tbf that puts the johns in a position where they need to cover up their crime.

      Decriminalization, ubiquitous health services and a reporting system for safety are needed.

      OSHA or permanent disability should be something every worker can rely on if they are hurt.
