The one thing the UN VAWG Special Rapporteur didnā€™t try to refute in her closing statement was our point about the dangers of global online age verification laws. Iā€™m trying to relax under a tree at the UN, staving off an aneurysm from the obscene amount of stress this month

The UN VAWG Special Rapporteur essentially said that if you were trafficked as a child, you couldnā€™t possibly know what consent means as an adult. This is horrifically offensive as a child trafficking survivor. Why even feign to help survivors if you think weā€™re so stupid

The UN Special Rapporteur just asserted that anyone who supports sex worker rights was able to come to Geneva because of powerful lobbyists helping and paying for them to come. But I maxed out my credit cards for our group from Sex Workers and Survivors United to be here today

The emphasis is constantly on punishment. Rarely on what victims actually need. How much money is going to be spent on figuring out the medical procedure for this punishment? Money that could go to helping victims with tangible needs like safe housing

Iā€™ve fantasized about castrating my perpetrators but Iā€™d never do it. Itā€™s ignorant to believe that one appendage is responsible for all assault and that you can fix the problem by simply lopping it off. What about hands? And should we behead people who manipulate and coerce victims?
