Alexa Albert, MD Biography
- Title:
- Author of Brothel, 2001
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should Prostitution Be Legal?"
- Reasoning:
-
“I don’t know if legalization would work for all prostitutes. Prostitution is not a monolith; there are some sex worker rights’ activists opposed to any regulations who want to work freely without any laws. But unlike the system of criminalization we have in place now, which does not afford its workers any protection (legal recourse in instances of abuse, etc.), a legalized system in the end would be a social stand in the direction of protecting vs. further marginalizing these workers.”
