D.C. Cracks Down On Prostitution
Just before midnight, three people in their late teens or early twenties load a Honda minivan with supplies. This might sound like the beginning of a zany road trip, but it’s not. The minivan belongs to a group called HIPS, which stands for Helping Individual Prostitutes Survive. One of the supplies they’re loading is a giant box of condoms.
HIPS’s mission is to make the lives of D.C.’s prostitutes safer and easier. Three nights a week, the group’s staffers and volunteers drive the van to places where sex workers work, often in some of the most dangerous parts of town.Important story on sex work in Washington DC and the Prostitution Free Zone law, including a great profile of the wonderful harm reduction organization, HIPS.
Also - more info on PFZs here.
If I go to graduate school in DC, I definitely plan to go to HIPS events that are open to allies. Such an awesome organization.
This is AWESOME.
