Why it is so important that Wisconsin move our legislation to be consistent with our own state and Federal law.
Wisconsin is one of a minority of states in which minors can be arrested and prosecuted for the "crime" of prostitution, a crime to which they cannot legally consent given our own anti child trafficking legislation. WI SB 73 AB 79 is bipartisan sponsored legislation that would protect minor victims of trafficking from arrest and prosecution, improving their likelihood to work with law enforcement and to accept protective services.
Call your Wisconsin legislator to endorse this legislation and request their efforts to schedule hearings in the House and Senate.
State law aimed at protecting s*xually trafficked children can cause more harm than good by identifying them as criminals and not victims.
