If we could criminalize our way out of these problems, not only would sex trafficking have ended, we'd also have ended overdose deaths, and homelessness.
We have never been able to solve problems like these with criminalization. We've proven over and over it doesn't work.
We cannot combat complex socioeconomic and gender based violence with the carceral system and greater legal and police involvement. The belief in this is what keeps us stuck doing the same thing over and over.
