Resolution urging the Police Department, the Office of the District Attorney, and associated law enforcement agencies to rigorously prosecute laws against coercion, extortion, battery, rape and other violent crimes, regardless of the victim's status as a sex worker; and further urging aforementioned law enforcement agencies to reallocate existing resources for the investigation and prosecution of prostitutes towards service programs to enable women and their families to leave prostitution and become independent, as well as to consider the adoption and implementation of the recommendations of the 1996 San Francisco Task Force on Prostitution Report, the 1998 Commission on the Status of Women Report on Violence Against Women in Prostitution in San Francisco as well as the Human Rights Commission recommendations to address and reduce institutional violence and discrimination against prostitutes.
