Name: The Laws that Sex Workers Really Want
Start: 2024-04-07T11:00:00-07:00
End: 2024-04-07T12:30:00-07:00

At this Sunday’s Humanist Forum we will watch a discussion about laws to regulate or eliminate prostitution and their actual effect on sex workers. Activist Juno Mac explains four legal models that are being used around the world and shows us the model that she believes will work best to keep sex workers safe and offer greater self-determination.

In a second video, *Human Rights for Sex Workers*, Gauri van Gulik, the former Deputy Europe Director of Amnesty International, explains why Amnesty International voted to pursue a policy to protect the human rights of sex workers.
