The Shadow of the Law: Sex Work and Mental Health

from Vice Squad · host Neon Nights

This episode delves into the psychological impact of sex work and law enforcement on individuals involved in the industry. We explore how the constant threat of criminalization, societal stigma, and the inherent dangers of the job affect the mental health of sex workers. Featuring interviews with mental health professionals, sex workers, and vice detectives, we aim to shed light on this often overlooked aspect of the sex work industry.
