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."
