LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: D.C.’s bill to decriminalize prostitution would hurt the people it aims to help By Editor On Sep 2, 2019 Last updated Sep 2, 2019 40 Share DECRIMINALING PROSTITUTION has become a priority for the progressive movement, and the movement is slowly picking up steam across the country. That it seems to have found a receptive audience with the D.C. Council is not a big surprise, given how lawmakers pride themselves on boldly being at the forefront of liberal causes. But council members would do well to look beyond the progressive label that has been attached to decriminalization. They instead need to heed the warnings from those who actually work with women in the sex trade that a proposal to fully decriminalize prostitution in the District will end up hurting the very people it aims to help. 40 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
