Should Buying Sex Be A Crime?: The Yes Means Yes Show Episode 65
Right now, Amnesty International is voting on whether it supports the decriminalization of sex work. That proposed shift in policy has a lot of people cheering, and others confused and upset. Jaclyn talks with Pye Jakobsson, founder of the Rose Alliance in Sweden and President of the Global Network of Sex Work Projects, about the brouhaha, why she's not a fan of the Swedish model, why she gets taken more seriously when she talks about her drug-using past, how to listen to the conflicting voices of sex workers, and lots more.Click here to listen!
