Jennifer Lyle, Executive Director of MISSEY, an Oakland based organization which was founded to respond to sexual exploitation describes the criminalization of sex trafficking victims as an attack on poor people. Lyle details what could instead be done to protect vulnerable young women and gender expansive people from falling prey to violence and sex trafficking. — Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post SF Prop D Would Weaken the City’s Oversight Bodies; Plus Oakland Police Threaten to Crack Down on Sex Trafficking appeared first on KPFA.
