DOES IT MATTER?

The lines of distinction are being drawn here.  Sex Workers Anonymous had created the first program for adults wanting to leave working in the sex industry for ANY reason - whether trafficked or not.  We have been pushed out of the system, so that one for juveniles could be inserted.  One being created by this group in the STAR court lead by Commissioner Catherine Pratt who doesn't return our emails, calls, faxes or letters we've sent her asking to speak with her.

Where is the word "he" or "transgender"?

This is a program that is Christian based.  The "camps" they are referring to here are not "Jewish friendly" meaning they do not have a kosher kitchen.  They also exclude males and lesbians.  Lesbians are being ejected from residential programs because they "don't have separate bathrooms and sleeping facilities".

And what about those who were not "trafficked"?  Yes there is the language that wants you to say that all children under the age of 18 years old are "victims" but what about those who were working in the sex industry WITHOUT being trafficked?


What about them?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9rVnViaySk  What about those who are NOT being trafficked, but instead forced into prostitution because of poverty?


This case was the child's mother - not a pimp.

So I say "does it matter?"  These lines of distinction between who the country wants to help vs. who they want to call a criminal has to be dropped.  ALL are in need of help and respect.

CHICAGO POLICE TRAFFICKING 14 YEAR OLDS

To Reporter Craig Walls - this case http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/33667842-story is EXACTLY why our hotline is so important as well as the Children of the Night hotline for minors. Most victims of trafficking CAN NOT CALL THE POLICE for one reason or another. The National Trafficking Hotline is great - however for those who can't call the authorities for help it leaves them no options as they either report to the authorities, or they refer to a task force headed by authorities. When I founded the movement to have sex trafficking recognized - it was two parts. Yes I wanted people to know trafficking was real but the SECOND PART was that we can't call the police for help in most cases. I'm working on a case right now where a woman was drug out of her house by two Pasadena officers. When I stepped in to help her - I was threatened by another officer myself. http://sanitytodayonline.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-sound-of-music-and-pasadena.html This case is al

SESTA/FOSTA OPPOSITION

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/09/fight-overturn-fosta-unconstitutional-internet-censorship-law-continues I know when something doesn't make sense, to go check back on it later on. Now maybe I look at this lawsuit a bit differently because I've been working as a paralegal for so long now, but when I've shown this case to various lawyers - they all say the same thing - this case will be dismissed for a lack of standing. EVEN IF they can prove standing, they can't prove damages. If they can't show actual damages by SESTA/FOSTA - then how on earth are they going to prove they can over turn this case. I do know that "Alex Andrews" wormed her way into being in this case above and beyond myself - who I knew couldn't prove any standing or damages that SESTA/FOSTA harmed her, especially since I knew not only was this someone claiming to be a working sex worker, someone who others were telling me was still in sex work, but further wasn't even her
