WHEN HELPING IS HURTING: PROSTITUTION
Westminster, CO : The criminalization of prostitution costs American taxpayers over $200 million annually and only exacerbates the problems faced by sex workers and society. Where prostitution is legal or decriminalized, there are lower rates of sex trafficking, sexually transmitted diseases, and abuse. Sarah “Daggers” Stewart will explain how her experiences have shown that government attempts to regulate and control personal sexual choices only create more harm, more social disruption, and more victims.
Stewart is a Libertarian and a sex worker activist. Her experience reporting to the CDC as part of a health initiative grant and working for a Drug Enforcement Agency Task force opened her eyes to a corrupt government and a broken system. Soon after joining the Libertarian Party and speaking out against the drug war, she became an advocate for sex workers. Sarah believes that, like the failed drug war, government attempts to control sexual activity only create more victims and waste taxpayer funds. Stewart hopes to educate and empower others to speak in favor of the decriminalization of prostitution.
