This article presents a case study of how sex worker and anti-trafficking organisations and activists in San Francisco, California, worked together to develop and pass the ‘Prioritizing Safety for Sex Workers Policy’. This policy, as enacted by the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office and the San Francisco Police Department, creates a legal environment where people can come forward and report to law enforcement when they are a victim of or witness to an array of violent crimes while engaged in sex work, and not be arrested or prosecuted for their involvement in that criminalised behaviour or for any misdemeanour drug offences. The article details how the groups came together and the challenges they faced while developing the policy. The work was fuelled by the recognition that no one wants people in the sex industry to experience violence. That is true whether selling sex is their choice, influenced by their life circumstances, or something they are being forced or coerced to do. The Prioritizing Safety for Sex Workers Policy is a unique example of the way in which sex workers, people who have experienced trafficking, service providers, activists, women’s rights policymakers, the police department, and the District Attorney’s office came together around a common goal.

“优先考虑性工作者的安全政策”：性工作者的权利和反人口贩运倡议

本文以案例研究为例，说明了加利福尼亚州旧金山的性工作者，反贩运组织和维权人士如何共同制定并通过了“优先考虑性工作者的安全政策”。这项由旧金山地区检察官办公室和旧金山警察局制定的政策创造了一个法律环境，使人们在从事暴力活动的受害者或目睹一系列暴力犯罪时，可以挺身而出并向执法部门报告性工作，不得因涉嫌这种犯罪行为或任何轻罪的毒品犯罪而被逮捕或起诉。本文详细介绍了各团体如何团结起来，以及他们在制定政策时面临的挑战。认识到没人希望性行业中的人经历暴力，这推动了这项工作。无论卖淫是他们的选择，还是受生活条件的影响，还是被强迫或强迫他们做的事情，都是如此。性工作者安全优先政策是性工作者，经历贩运人口的人，服务提供者，维权人士，妇女权利政策制定者，警察局和地方检察官办公室围绕一个共同目标聚集在一起的独特例子。
