Editors Note: From 2002-2003 the Oakland police department made 218 arrests of Sex workers. The epidemic of sexual exploitation in the Bay Area is nothing new, but the push towards changing the policies that effect how sexually exploited minors are perceived.

At the head of this movement is Elizabeth Sy a 26 year old first generation cambodian woman who recently won a rising peace maker prize for her work with young women involved in the sex trade. YO! Recently talked with Sy and found out how she feels about winning and what steps she feels must be taken for future of sexually exploited minors.
