City Supervisor Hillary Ronen plans to introduce a resolution Tuesday serving as an official request to California lawmakers to decriminalize sex work.
which includes the Mission District neighborhood, is drafting a resolution that would urge state legislators to write a bill that would legalize sex work. “I have no plans to carry a bill that would create a"red light district" nor have I heard from supervisor Ronen on that issue," told USA TODAY Thursday.
The move is part of an attempt to divert or slow down street prostitution in the Mission, where sex workers have been present for decades and where residents want the illegal business plaguing parts of the neighborhood contained to a commercial zone. Lyn Werbach, an organizer with Central Mission Neighbors whose group advocates for Mission residents told the outlet she would not oppose some sort of designated red-light zone to “centralize the activity in one place, away from homes, so it can be regulated for the safety of workers and the safety of residents.
Rueca did not say how long the barriers or police patrols will remain but said the department"is aware of the issues of sex workers and the potential of human trafficking on Capp Street" and wants"to ensure the community that our officers will hold those responsible and make arrests."
