Trafficing women for sexual purposes is hiliarious? Will be as soon as Oregon makes it all legal - they're not giving up trying. olis.oregonlegislature.gov Catchline/Summary: Repeals crimes of prostitution, commercial sexual solicitation and promoting prostitution. Takes effect on 91st day following adjournment sine die. streetroots.org Oregon advocates continue push for decriminalization of sex work after bill fails Sex workers say the decriminalization of full-service sex work promotes safety by Ellena Rosenthal \| 25 Aug 2021 If Kat Salas could, she would snap her fingers and decriminalize full-service sex work in Oregon tomorrow. But, she feels conversations and more education need to happen before decriminalization is not just a dream but actually reality. A bill written to do just that; decriminalize outlawed forms of sex work, failed to pass during the last state legislative session in June, but advocates say the push to pass it must continue. House Bill 3088, while a partisan bill introduced by democrats, is one many different groups — from public health officials to sex workers, to union organizers, to doctors and some politicians — believe in. Before Rep. Rob Nosse (D-Portland), the primary sponsor of the bill, scrolled through his email inbox and read the request, he didn’t know much about sex work. “I don’t have a personal journey in this space,” Nosse said. “I’m not a former sex worker, I didn’t even know anyone as a sex worker.” But he felt the email about what would become House Bill 3088 sounded interesting and important, so he decided to learn a little bit more about the issue. Nosse is now fully behind the push and plans to re-introduce the bill in the 2023 session. “There’s a union person in me,” Nosse said. “I fundamentally believe that all kinds of workers deserve rights and protection.” Currently, sex workers have very few of the protections or rights afforded to other workers — changing that is a core goal for decriminalization. As a result, many sex workers experience a sense of limited safety. As the fight to decriminalize sex work continues, so too does the need for people to make a living and pay their bills.
