"Sex work" is often marketed as an easy way to make fast money while you're young. What rarely gets talked about is the leaving part, and how hard that actually is. In this clip, Trisha Baptie, founder of Formerly Exploited Voices Now Educating (EVE) and a survivor of prostitution, explains why women aren't walking away from the sex trade with millions of dollars. They're walking away with CPTSD, psychological problems, and addiction issues. Her testimony reflects a central finding of our new report: that prostitution is not simply a job like any other. It is intrinsically abusive and exploitative, and we can never normalize that by calling it "work." Link to the full report in the comments ⬇️
