Episode 33: Rory Fleming: Sex Work versus Sex Trafficking (do you know the difference?)

What is the difference between sex work and human sex trafficking?  Today's guest, Rory Fleming, says this distinction is not always clear; it is MUCH clearer, however, than many politicians (and media) will admit.  Rory Fleming is attorney and founder of Foglight Strategies, a legal consulting firm. He is also on the Families For Sensible Drug Policy advisory board and a writer for FilterMag.  Today he explains why blurring the line between sex work and sex trafficking-- while sometimes done unwittingly-- is often a conscious and dishonest political tactic for which disadvantaged communities often pay the price. **********   CHECK OUT PRODUCER AARON FERGUSON'S ORIGINAL MUSIC HERE ******   Become a Patron  http://patreon.com/thesocialexchange Visit our audible link--- download a free audio book and support the show! http://audibletrial.com/socialexchange   Listen on iTunes (and leave us a review!) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/t...  ******    Thanks to our new patrons - Christopher Hanlon  - André Pampel - CARTER Vermont  - Rick Barnett  - Anne M.
