About Me
editI'm an undergraduate student at Rice University studying Sociology and Political Science and minoring in Poverty, Justice and Human Capabilities. I'm pre-law and hope to one day become either a civil rights or human rights attorney. I have a large interest in interactions between the legal system and socioeconomic status and women's rights.
Previous Topic
editI’m interested in the “Violence against prostitutes” page because most prostitutes are female and the illegal nature of prostitution makes prostitutes particularly vulnerable to violence. I would like to make edits about the ramifications of the illegal nature of prostitution and reporting violence and provide more data about how many prostitutes face violence and the frequency of reporting it. I would also like to potentially have the name changed to “Violence against sex workers.” For this article, I would be expanding upon an existing stub-article. https://docs.google.com/document/d/17O87IvjbaflrXa8X-PJJBvlIMRXlJ6p59bk7U0rDtFw/edit?usp=sharing
