A Tribute to December 17th: The COYOTERI Project (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798303413122)

Sex Work Policy by COYOTE Rhode Island is an essential resource for understanding the complexities of sex work legislation and its far-reaching impacts. Drawing from decades of advocacy, research, and lived experiences, this book examines the intersection of law, human rights, and public health in shaping policies that affect sex workers globally.

This groundbreaking work explores key topics such as:

• The historical evolution of sex work policies and their ties to systemic oppression.
• The real-world impacts of criminalization, decriminalization, and legalization on sex workers' lives and communities.
• Participatory research projects, including the After FOSTA Survey, that illuminate the unintended consequences of restrictive laws.
• Community-driven solutions for harm reduction, safety, and justice.

Featuring contributions from activists, legal experts, and sex workers, Sex Work Policy is both a call to action and a practical guide for policymakers, advocates, and anyone seeking to build a more equitable world. Through detailed case studies and powerful narratives, the book highlights the resilience of sex worker communities and underscores the urgent need for evidence-based, rights-affirming approaches to policy.

Whether you are an advocate, academic, or ally, Sex Work Policy provides the tools to challenge stigma, dismantle harmful systems, and envision a future where sex workers are free to thrive with dignity and autonomy.
