The Sex Work Stigma: Society's Role and Its Consequences

from Vice Squad · host Neon Nights

In this episode, we delve into the societal stigma surrounding sex work, its origins, and its impacts on both sex workers and law enforcement. We explore how societal attitudes shape legislation and enforcement, and how these, in turn, affect the lives of sex workers. We also discuss potential ways to combat this stigma and the role that education and understanding can play in this battle.
