The Cass Review disregards years of evidence to make unethical and deeply damaging recommendations to further limit trans healthcare.

Trans children already face devastating challenges in accessing essential care.

DevonBreeze FMTY Joining the Sex Workers’ Union has been amazing to feel part of the community and push for better rights for both the industries I'm in and other SW. Me leaving a site that has bad practices doesn't matter to them, joining with other workers adds legitimacy and can make them listen.

Huge congratulations to strippers in Washington who have campaigned so successfully to enshrine their rights & protections at work.

The bill, written by the workers, included a cap on predatory fees and anti discrimination protections.

Solidarity, up the workers! ✊

March 15th was International Day Against Police Brutality.

The criminalisation of sex work creates conditions where police are often the perpetrators of violence against sex workers.

The police do not keep sex workers safe.

We need full decriminalisation now.

Under the Nordic Model’s strict brothel keeping laws, indoor sex workers are criminalised when working together for safety.

85% of those convicted in Ireland for ‘brothel keeping’ in recent years were migrant women.

We need full decriminalisation now.

Norway introduced criminalising the purchase of sex, otherwise known as the Nordic Model, in 2009.

This “end demand” approach was sold as a way to end exploitation and trafficking, whilst providing more support to sex workers.

But it has failed in every regard.

“On Wednesday, while the police were apologising for their mishandling of Emma’s case, a sex worker was being raided for sharing working premises with others….This is part of why we support full decriminalisation.”

On the 1 hand, there's a protection-focused discourse around SW, but on the other corporate entities such as a cam sites owners are given such power bc SW is so stigmatised that cam performers have virtually no rights in an unregulated space, says Dr Rachel Stuart. Sex Workers’ Union

And we're live! First up, reps from the Sex Workers’ Union explain that the Online Safety Act will essentially act as effective criminalisation, forcing independent SWs' to shut down their sites & use 3rd parties, which will make their work more precarious.

Today is International Sex Workers Rights Day.

We join the international sex worker community in calling for the decriminalisation of sex work.

Sex work is work, and decriminalisation is essential to protecting the rights and safety of sex workers.
