Amnesty International has voted to support a policy calling for the full decriminalization of all aspects of consensual sex work. The vote occurred Tuesday during a biennial meeting in Dublin. Amnesty says the policy shift comes after conducting two years of research that showed decriminalization is the best way to defend sex workers’ human rights. Amnesty International will now turn to lobbying governments to repeal laws that forbid the sale and purchase of sex.
