Another worrying thing: if you're selling sex in places like Kenya, South Africa or New York,
另一件令人擔(dān)憂的事：如果你在肯尼亞，南非或紐約這些地方賣淫，
a police officer can arrest you if you're caught carrying condoms,
如果你被抓到持有避孕套，警察就可以逮捕你，
because condoms can legally be used as evidence that you're selling sex.
因為如果你賣淫，避孕套就是合法的證據(jù)。
Obviously, this increases HIV risk.
顯然這增加了艾滋病的傳播風(fēng)險。
Imagine knowing if you're busted carrying condoms, it'll be used against you.
想象一下，如果你被逮捕時身上有避孕套，它將會成為不利的證據(jù)。
It's a pretty strong incentive to leave them at home, right?
你將會更傾向于把它留在家里，對吧？
Sex workers working in these places are forced to make a tough choice between risking arrest or having risky sex.
這些地區(qū)的性工作者被迫在進(jìn)行危險的性行為和被捕之間做出選擇。
What would you choose? Would you pack condoms to go to work?
你會怎樣選擇呢？你會帶上避孕套去工作么？
How about if you're worried the police officer would rape you when he got you in the van?
你會不會擔(dān)心當(dāng)警察官員在貨車?yán)镒サ侥銜r會直接強(qiáng)奸你呢？
The second approach to regulating sex work seen in these countries is partial criminalization,
第二種法律手段被這些國家使用，叫做部分刑事化。
where the buying and selling of sex are legal,
在這些國家賣春買春是合法的，
but surrounding activities, like brothel-keeping or soliciting on the street, are banned.
但是周邊的活動，比如妓院和站街拉客是違法的。
Laws like these -- we have them in the UK and in France -- essentially say to us sex workers,
像這樣的法律被英國，法國這些國家所實(shí)踐，本質(zhì)上是對我們這些性工作者說，
"Hey, we don't mind you selling sex, just make sure it's done behind closed doors and all alone."
“我不介意你賣淫，但是確保你是偷偷地、一個人做這件事?！?/div>
And brothel-keeping, by the way, is defined as just two or more sex workers working together.
妓院，順便說一句，被定義成為兩名甚至更多性工作者一起工作。
Making that illegal means that many of us work alone,
觸犯了賣淫必須單獨(dú)進(jìn)行的法律條款，
which obviously makes us vulnerable to violent offenders.
但是顯然讓我們對待暴力罪犯時更加危險。
But we're also vulnerable if we choose to break the law by working together.
但是如果我們選擇一起工作，我們還是危險的。
