Though she claims to support decriminalization, Joe Biden’s VP pick has a regressive record when it comes to sex-worker rights
SESTA/FOSTA “has made everyone much less safe,” says McCracken. “It’s really impacted people. We’re in this state with COVID where so many people are not able to make ends meet — it’s very hard to communicate online, communicate resources — and I can’t help but think that’s a direct impact of SESTA/FOSTA.”she had relaxed her position on sex work. “I think so,” she said when asked if she supported decriminalization.
Some sex workers who heard these comments viewed them as support not for full decriminalization, but for partial decriminalization. Also known as the Nordic model — so called because it has been adopted in many Nordic countries — this approach criminalizes the buyers of sex while not prosecuting those who sell sex. This is not the same thing as full sex work decriminalization, says Knox.
During the Democratic primary, sex work decriminalization became something of a flash point, with candidates like Bernie Sanders andcoming forward to assert their support for some form of decriminalization. For this reason, some sex workers do not believe that Harris’s reversal is legitimate. “ What’s gonna be required in order for there to be full support on decrim is first, these politicians need to accept and really be responsible for changing the views on sex work. They have to stop conflating sex work with human trafficking,” says Akynos. “And they are not willing to do that.”
