<p>AM Davies is a recently-retired stripper who now focuses on advocacy and activism. The term “sex work” refers to a broad range of professions. Because much of sex work is criminalized or poorly understood by lawmakers, workers' rights are often not guaranteed. Learn about the difference between legalization and decriminalization and why one is better than the other. Discriminatory policing leads to more arrests and harsher punishments for sex workers who belong to marginalized groups. Sex workers need to be listened to and involved in the process of shaping the laws and regulations that apply to them.</p> <p>Find AM Davies online:</p> <p>AM’s podcast, Yes, a Stripper, is on Instagram @yesastripperpodcast</p> <p>Follow a community account founded by AM @thequeenofsexy</p> <p>Learn more about sex work follow @decolonizefeminism</p> <p><br></p> <p>Stay up to date on the company behind The Cherry Chats at<a href="https://please--me.com/"> Please--Me.com</a></p> <p>Follow us on Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/thinkpleaseme/?hl=en"> @ThinkPleaseMe</a></p>
