Belle Knox Pens Rolling Stone Opinion Piece

Belle Knox’s most recent article, “Prostitutes Are People, Not Criminals,” is published in the current issue of Rolling Stone. The Duke University student and teen porn sensation seeks the same rights and protections for sex workers as the general public in her piece.

“Although porn is legal, I am nonetheless proud to classify myself a sex worker and call on my colleagues to stand up for our right to make a living, access the same protections as everyone else, and not feel ashamed for doing honest work,” writes Knox. “We are nobody's rescue project, and we deserve rights, not handcuffs.”

The 19-year-old student, profiled in Rolling Stone last summer, was thrilled to have the honor of writing for such an esteemed and legendary publication.

"The sex industry has been getting a lot of attention lately, especially with thepassing of Bill C-36 the in Canada,” says Knox. “I feel our dialogue surrounding sex work is marred in misconceptions and distorted facts, and when we criminalize sex work, we only make it more dangerous for all parties involved. Moral beliefs beside, criminalization is poor public policy, plain and simple. I feel so honored Rolling Stone published my piece, and I hope it causes readers to rethink some of their opinions."
