  • Information on the "Equality Model" of Decriminalization
    • The Equality Model was developed by listening to survivors of the sex trade, who are the ultimate authorities on their own experiences. At the heart of this model is their belief that treating prostituted or trafficked persons as victims of a crime, and not criminals themselves, is a critical first step in the fight for an exploitation-free world. But we can’t stop there. Advocates for the Equality Model believe that the provision of much-needed social services, and an embrace of policies that promote economic justice, are necessary in order to help those who seek to exit the sex trade stay out of the sex trade.
