Panel talks about abolishing the age of consent Borysenko said the panel talked about abolishing the age of consent before she started recording. The reporter also mentioned that most of the audience seemed to be accepting the idea of children having a "right" to solicit sex.

"Socialists do not believe that children are the 'private property' of their parents. They believe children are little adults that can make all their own decisions," Borysenko told Campus Reform.

During the panel's question and answer segment, an attendee named Chanel introduced herself as a sex worker-activist. She asked whether young people in the sex industry should be deemed part of a "children's liberation vision."

"Young people in the sex industry deserve and need rights at minimum actual liberation and justice," Chanel said. "There's just like a utopia I had never really thought of before because the world feels so separated, and the issue of youth and sex work is so incredibly loaded."
