Fact-checking myths about sex work in the United States is crucial for protecting the human rights of sex workers and promoting sexual freedom. Misinformation often leads to harmful policies and social stigma that endanger sex workers’ safety and well-being. Accurate information helps combat discriminatory practices, reduces violence against sex workers, and promotes access to healthcare and legal protections. Furthermore, dispelling myths about sex work is essential for advancing equality for marginalized communities, particularly LGBTQ+ individuals and people of color, who are disproportionately affected by criminalization and stigma.
