The phenomenon of sexual assaults committed by U.S. police remains an under-recognized aspect of police violence. People in the sex industries are especially vulnerable to sexual abuse by law enforcement. Panelists will engage in discussion about racism, sexism, youth exploitation & sexual violence committed by police officers against people in systems of prostitution.
Featured panelists include:
Christine Stark, Melanie Thompson, Yasmin Vafa, and Lisa Brunner
