Safe Sex Work VT is a group of individuals and organizations deeply concerned about the health and safety of not only sex workers but all Vermonters. Safe Sex Work VT aims to protect the dignity, autonomy, and safety of consensual adult sex workers. The prohibition of sex work increases the risk of exploitation for sex workers and others. Evidence unequivocally shows that where sex work has been decriminalized, human trafficking decreases and public health and safety increases.
