Sex Worker Rights Advocate Mariah Grant is this week’s guest on Adult Site Broker Talk. She is a human rights expert who focuses on migrant and sex worker rights, freedom of movement, and labor exploitation.
She is a highly effective advocate who works to end systems of oppression in collaboration with impacted communities and individuals, including sex workers, drug users, migrants, and people who are currently or were previously incarcerated. Mariah applies her years of experience in serving migrant and refugee children and families across the U.S. and Europe and her extensive research into human rights abuses in the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific to advocate for meaningful policy changes at all levels.
She is currently a freelance consultant working on issues related to sex worker rights, the prevention of human trafficking, and providing services to survivors. Previously, Mariah was the Director of Research and Advocacy at the Sex Workers Project of the Urban Justice Center, where she led research on the negative impacts of criminalizing sex work, including police violence, and advocated for policy changes to decriminalize and destigmatize sex work on local, state, and federal levels.
Her work has involved collaboration with numerous organizations, including the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women, the UN Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights, the International Organization for Migration, the US Department of State, the US Department of Labor, ICF International, Woodhull Freedom Foundation, Free Speech Coalition, Decriminalize Sex Work, Freedom Network USA, New Moon Network, Protection International, Morrison Child and Family Service, Minority Rights Group International, and the Global Network of Sex Work Projects.
In her previous roles, Mariah successfully introduced and helped pass state and federal-US laws and policies to protect the health and human rights of sex workers and survivors of human trafficking. She’s also led several groundbreaking research projects on topics ranging from the experiences of sex workers in conflict zones and humanitarian crises to the impacts of district attorney non-prosecution policies in the context of sex work criminalization.
