Beyond the Policy

I write this as a sex worker, a parent, and someone shaped by systemic harm, such as criminalization and stigma, and committed to community accountability, which informs my work. Harm reduction, consent-based frameworks, and non-carceral approaches to anti-trafficking and mutual aid guide my perspective. I recognize that experiences of sex work, coercion, and survival exist on a spectrum, and I write with respect for those who identify as sex workers, survivors, both, or neither. This piece reflects my perspective and practice, not a universal narrative.
