Here's how Nevada's legal brothels could help in San Francisco supervisor's push to legalize, decriminalize sex work in California.A San Francisco supervisor who wants to legalize red light districts has scheduled meetings with five sex workers next week in order to better understand how legal brothels operate in Nevada.
"I have not talked personally with enough sex workers to feel like I'm really listening to their voice in this conversation," said Supervisor Hillary Ronen. Sup. Ronen is leading the conversation to legalize sex work in California. Last week, she introduced a resolution encouraging state lawmakers to draft a bill aimed at legalizing red light districts and decriminalizing sex work.
"I've had victims of trafficking who've escaped their trafficker reach out and want to talk," said Ronen. "I'm meeting with sex workers who want decriminalization, not legalization."
