Trafficking frameworks obscure real issues and divert needed resources to antis and law enforcement. The 19-yr old "trafficker" lays bare what youth need but criminal frameworks are more appealing to law enforcement and easier to ignore real issues for youth. #sexwork www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is often what youth #sexwork looks like - calling it trafficking distracts from the many needs one has when leaving home, including money to survive, kinship and community (sometimes it can be violent). www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

(10/11) It is so important to support sex workers, and especially sex worker artists, because it is often assumed they can go uncompensated for their time and labour. Pumpka and their work deserve recognition, support, and praise.
