To be fair, sex work is definitely an addiction for me. You know, in the same way that paying my bills is an addiction.

That is, “prostitution addiction” of the prostitute that is…so freaking amazingly stupid…..

Yeah it is actually really common in prostitution diversion programs. Treating the “prostitution addiction” – so ridiculous.

Not that the violation of human rights inherent in forced treatment helps *anyone*, for that matter.

Actually, many people who are convicted of crimes not related to drugs or addiction are still forced to complete “rehab” or “addiction counseling” by judges. This is just a way that judges funnel money into “addiction counseling” center/organizations, as well as further stigmatize convicts. A person’s record will say that they completed addiction counseling, leading people to assume that they are drug addicts.

Obviously, these laws don’t help sex workers at all.

Wow, that’s hideous.

I think that this “treatment” is supposed to model addiction treatment, treating sex work itself as the addiction. Worst idea ever.

What would s/he be “treated” for then? There are plenty of us out there; sex work and addiction – or even just recreational drug use – don’t always go hand-in-hand. How would these laws “help” us exactly?

Thank you so much for the catch! I think the slip can be attributed to our more regularly seeing the name of our fabulous contributor Kat Snacks (https://twitter.com/katsnacks) who obviously derived her inspiration from Ms. Stacks.
