She is a highly effective advocate who works to end systems of oppression in collaboration with impacted communities and individuals, including sex workers, drug users, migrants, and people who are currently or were previously incarcerated.
Mariah’s years of experience providing direct services to migrant and refugee children and families in the U.S. and Europe, along with her research into human rights abuses in the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, equip her to push for meaningful policy changes at local, national, and international levels.
She is currently a freelance consultant working on sex worker rights, human trafficking prevention, and services for survivors.
Before this, Mariah served as the Director of Research and Advocacy at the Sex Workers Project of the Urban Justice Center, where she led research on the harmful impacts of sex work criminalization, including police violence, and advocated for policy reforms to decriminalize and destigmatize sex work.
Her work includes collaborations with organizations such as the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women, the UN Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights, the International Organization for Migration, the US Department of State, the US Department of Labor, ICF International, Woodhull Freedom Foundation, Free Speech Coalition, Decriminalize Sex Work, Freedom Network USA, New Moon Network, Protection International, Morrison Child and Family Service, Minority Rights Group International, and the Global Network of Sex Work Projects.
In her previous roles, Mariah successfully introduced and helped pass state and federal-US laws and policies to protect the health and human rights of sex workers and survivors of human trafficking.
She’s also led several groundbreaking research projects on topics ranging from the experiences of sex workers in conflict zones and humanitarian crises to the impacts of district attorney non-prosecution policies in the context of sex work criminalization.
