(Mohave Valley Daily News)<\/em> – A bill introduced in the Nevada Senate on Thursday seeks to ban the nation\u2019s only legal brothels by outlawing prostitution.<\/p>\n

Republican state Sen. Joe Hardy said brothels have no place in Nevada and attract women with few economic options who get stuck in an abusive industry. . . .\u00a0Democratic Sen. Pat Spearman also signed on as a sponsor of the legislation, saying the legal bordellos can disguise sex trafficking. . . .<\/p>\n

Alice Little, who works at a brothel in Lyon County, said she appreciates Hardy\u2019s concern, but argued the legislation would only harm sex workers like herself.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s our jobs, our bodies, our consent that should matter,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t need somebody who has never even met me to be passing judgment about whether my job should or should not be allowed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s either going to happen in the streets and in Vegas and in the hotels, or it\u2019s going to happen in a safe, legal atmosphere where women such as myself can feel safe and protected,\u201d said Christina Parreira, a sex worker who formerly worked in multiple brothels.<\/p>\n

Parreira, a doctoral candidate at the University of Nevada Las Vegas who also conducted academic research at the brothels, said legal brothel work empowers women to leave pimps and abusive relationships and support their families.<\/p>\n
