When a young person says that their family isn’t safe, that foster care isn’t safe, that they aren’t safe in police custody or at the shelter, we need to listen and believe them. We need to figure out how to support youth in creating lives that work for them. This is especially true for LGBTQ youth of color who are more likely to be engaged in survival sex, without a home, with limited or no economic options, and more likely to experience violence from systems they come into contact with.
Mitchyll Mora speaks on the the Streetwise and Safe study focusing on the experiences of LGBTQ Youth, YMSM and YWSW engaged in survival sex. 100% MOST definitely worth the read.
