In this panel, presenters will cover the ways in which the police confiscation of condoms as evidence of prostitution-related charges serves as a tool of harassment and race and gender-based profiling and policing, implicating issues of violence prevention, harm reduction, reproductive justice, and the rights of people involved in the sex trades. Presenters will also share successes, strategies, and continued areas of advocacy in campaigns to end the use of condoms as evidence of prostitution related charges in New York City and across the country.
