MADISON, Wis. – Today, Rep. Ryan Clancy announced legislation developed and supported by advocates for the rights of sex workers and sex trafficking survivors designed to encourage safe reporting of alleged criminal acts to authorities. (1/10)
There is so so much more to us. Trying to keep their huge personalities and interests to a couple words to fit in a tweet was impossible. These are real people with real lives, loves, and interests. Sex work is just their job. There’s so much more to women in this industry.
Let’s be honest: America doesn’t hate trafficking because it cares about survivors. It hates trafficking because it makes a perfect villain.
It’s visceral. It’s cinematic. It’s bipartisan clickbait.
But dig deeper and you find most people don’t understand what trafficking actually is. They conflate it with consensual sex work, immigration, poverty, or teen rebellion. And when real survivors show up—messy, complicated, and inconvenient—they’re often ignored or punished.
Let’s be clear: what happened in Epstein’s orbit was not sex work. This wasn’t about adult, consensual exchanges. This was trafficking—in the clearest and most brutal definition of the word.We’re talking force, fraud, and coercion. We’re talking girls as young as 14, recruited, groomed, and raped—repeatedly, and with full knowledge of the adults around them.
Internationally. Across borders. In mansions. On private jets. On an island built for exploitation. In public view.
And worst of all? The survivors told us. They told the FBI. They told prosecutors. They told journalists. And no one believed them. Not for months. Not for years. Not until it was politically inconvenient not to believe them.
