Lawmakers in New York City, this week, introduced a measure that would decriminalize sex work.
If the legislation is approved, laws that fight issues such as trafficking would not be affected.
Instead, sex work would be treated like any other line of work in other industries.
The legislation would also allow the workers to organize a union and take part in collective bargaining to better protect them.
