A group of Miami activists is hosting the 5th annual Slut Walk Miami on Saturday, December 14th, to raise awareness about the challenges faced by sex workers and advocate for decriminalization.

The event, organized by Decrim 305, aims to "recognize sex workers' rights to love, compassion, and autonomy while highlighting the benefits of decriminalization." Decrim 305 argues that decriminalization can improve safety, access to healthcare, and economic stability for sex workers, while also reducing societal stigma and reallocating law enforcement resources.

The Slut Walk will begin at 5 PM at South Pointe Park in Miami Beach. Admission is free, and registration is available through Eventbrite.

Sex work, often defined as the exchange of sex for money or goods, is illegal in most parts of the United States. However, many countries, including Germany and the Netherlands, have decriminalized sex work. A 2020 ACLU report concluded that decriminalization can improve public health and safety while increasing economic stability for sex workers. The ACLU has called for governments to decriminalize sex work, arguing that sex workers deserve the same legal protections as everyone else.

It seems that, like with lipstick sales and luxury hair treatments, the success of strip clubs is another marker of an economic downturn.

Recessions have historically been marked by a decrease in consumer spending, and this recession is no exception. As one Twitter user noted, her earnings have halved and the clubs are almost empty. Another commented, Strippers have been telling y’all the recession is coming baby. We are feeling it in the clubs everywhere. You know it’s bad if girls from Miami are coming to New York to work.”

When times are tough, folks just chill at home more; they ain’t gonna spend and hit the clubs. They’re hooking up online instead, said Markus Frind, the big boss of the dating site Plenty of Fish, during the 2009 money meltdown.

Some market research peeps called IBISWorld say that US strip clubs are making way less dough these days. They reckon their profit dropped by more than 12 per cent to $1.4bn in 2018, which is down from $1.6bn in 2012. That’s rough!  We got 30% more sex workers calling us last year who need help to start working. The prostitutes who call us are freaking out and scared. Women are begging us to hook them up with food vouchers for food banks. One person hadn’t eaten right for three days," she says. Others have called with housing issues, like getting kicked out or having their landlords be jerks to them," says Niki. “They’re trying to figure out how they’re gonna survive the next week.”

Year after year, right-leaning anti-trafficking groups claim the Super Bowl, America's largest sporting event, is the nation's biggest draw for sex traffickers, who allegedly transport kidnapped women from city to city to please tourists in town for the yearly championship game. Cindy McCain, the widow of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain, appears to be the loudest voice pushing this theory — she appeared at Florida International University last month to once again claim the Super Bowl is a hotbed for sexual slavery.

"We are simply saying — it is not an opinion — that there is no evidence for an increase in trafficking at the Super Bowl," Borislav Gerasimov of the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women, an alliance of dozens of anti-trafficking groups, told that news agency.

Despite that finding, prostitution raids are common before every Super Bowl nowadays: 249 people were arrested in Houston prior to Super Bowl LI, 110 were taken into custody in Minneapolis the following year, and 169 were collared before Super Bowl LIII last year in Atlanta.

Few of those cases, however, had anything to do with sex trafficking. Most of the defendants were simply johns and prostitutes.
