There may be a possible connection to New York Times human trafficking $3 billion-a-year sex industry and Sens. Julia Salazar, D- Brooklyn, Jessica Ramos, D-Queens. Sen. Brad Hoylman, D-Manhattan, Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, and Decrim NY pushing for decriminalization of prostitution

 

“The epicenter of this national underground is the bustling Chinatown in Flushing, in the New York City borough of Queens.”(/pb)

 

When reading this, I thought about the recent push by New York lawmakers push to decriminalize prostitution. Particularly, Sens. Julia Salazar, D- Brooklyn, Jessica Ramos, D-Queens. Sen. Brad Hoylman, D-Manhattan, tweeted: "Decriminalization is critical to protecting the rights and safety of people who trade sex, no matter where they are on the spectrum of choice, circumstance, and coercion."

An article by New York Daily News written by (((Jessica RAMOS and Julia SALAZAR))) reports

  1. Griffen ran away at 15 and because of identity discrimination needed to sell his body. 2 decades later, multiple incarcerations, DEPORTATION, and raped by police with threat of incarceration.

  2. people need sex work because of economical vulnerability of life events such as a major healthcare bill and LGBTQ, black and brown, immigrant and disabled communities from being locked out of formal jobs.

  3. Because of criminalization, the police target these people to abuse them

 

This article states “94% of people arrested for the loitering for the purposes of prostitution in Brooklyn and Queens are black women”. But the New York Times article from (pb) said “typically Chinese, but also Korean, Thai and East European”. I may be misinterpreting the context.

 

  1. 9/10 people arrested in massage parlor raids are undocumented Asians which cause the police to abuse them. Also they are criminalized when diverted to the Human Trafficking Intervention Courts where they are stalked and deported. (Stalked made no sense to me)

 

This is what I took from this. For the people that have no choice but to sell sex to survive are policed that causes them to have no choice but to sell sex to survive.

This article mentions Sen. Brad Hoylman, Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, and Decrim NY
