Proposition K, San Francisco, November 2008: ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS RELATED TO PROSTITUTION AND SEX WORKERS Back to Prop K Information Page The National Lawyers Guild San Francisco Bay Area Chapter Endorses Proposition K  The National Lawyers Guild has been fighting for civil rights and workers' rights since 1937 and we view this endorsement as part of that struggle. The laws as currently enforced make it harder to stop sex trafficking and child prostitution. Prosecutions under the California Trafficking Victims Protection Act would increase under this measure. With the passage of Proposition K, victims of sex trafficking will find it easier to come forward because they do not have to fear arrest or deportation simply because they were engaged in illegal work. Those who are victimized will have a chance for justice. Proposition K would aid in establishing regulations for the industry, and the application of health and safety standards.   Back to Prop K Information Pagen Page
