Decriminalizing Adult Consensual Sex Work: Ensuring Safety, Rights, and Dignity 

Decriminalizing Adult Consensual Sex Work: Ensuring Safety, Rights, and Dignity
moderated by Senator Celina Villanueva
Panelists: Brian C. Johnson (Equality Illinois) and Reyna Ortiz (TaskForce / SWAG)
In light of increasing violence against sex workers, Equality Illinois and the Sex Worker Advisory Group (SWAG) have united to launch a campaign to keep adult consensual sex workers safe by decriminalizing sex work. Two-thirds of trans people killed in the past decade were sex workers and three-quarters of all sex workers will experience violence in their careers.
Join Brian C. Johnson, CEO of Equality Illinois, Reyna Ortiz, Chair of the Sex Worker Advisory Group, and Illinois State Senator Celina Villanueva to learn more about why this issue matters to many groups including those who care about bodily autonomy and the LGBTQ+ community.
