Yes, absolutely. I had a chance to review in great detail the report that we've been talking about, the statistics. It's very clear to me looking at those statistics that they reflect the reality of what we see, that there's actually a decrease in sex workers reporting violence, and also a decrease in how sex workers might be counted in statistics, because even those who report violence will go to great lengths to avoid being captured in those statistics.
Obviously there are a lot of problems with those statistics, including the lack of understanding and representation of trans women. What those statistics actually show is that people are not reporting and that people are not seeing any sort of improvements in their relationships with police. The idea that violence has decreased because of this law is absurd. The same people who rely on those statistics to argue this will be the people who will come and then tell you that they need hundreds of millions of dollars to spend against this violence, which they see increasing every moment. The reality is that we are the ones actually working every day. We're the sex workers. We're in the industry. There has been no reduction in violence because of this law. There has been an increase in many types of violence, and there are no sex workers in our community who feel that criminalization of their actual work and not of the violence is a useful tool in order to protect them.
