Criminalisation has failed to reduce sex work or to keep sex workers safe. Criminalisation worsens sex workers health outcomes and denies us access to basic human and work rights.

For sex workers to be safer, they need rights & recognition as workers. Laws that infantilise sex workers & seek to take away their income in the name of ‘protection’ facilitate violence by making sw more vulnerable. If you support these laws, you are complicit #IDEVASW23

This year, we share the names of 199 sex workers. We also remember those whose names are not known; who cannot be named; and whose deaths may not have been the result of interpersonal violence, but whose lives were lost under state violence. #IDEVASW #DoMoreThanSayTheirNames

I had the pleasure of helping organize a workshop on the trans community’s involvement in HIV activism with Nikolaos Papadogiannis Dr Hannah J Elizabeth (@sexhistorian.bsky.social) Dr Chase Ledin at National Library of Scotland ! Thanks to everyone who attended and to Eddy Draws who captured the themes of our discussion beautifully 🏳️‍⚧️🩷

1. Journalist writes article about sex work. 2. Sex workers are upset by article & respond to share their concerns about issues that impact their actual life. 3. Journalist blocks sex workers & then mocks them for being upset. *Does this sound like feminism to you?* 🤔
