@sexworkeurope is seeking sex workers' perspectives on deep fakes through a short online survey. The survey should only take 15 minutes and is available in English and Russian. Sex workers' voices NEED to be heard on this issue. eswalliance.org/sw_on_deepfa…

#ISWD2025 Our director @ZemuraHA says we should keep pushing for #Decrim because decriminalisation recognises sex work as work and sex workers as rights-bearing individuals, creating an environment where they can be safe, healthy, and free from exploitation. #SexWorkIsWork – at Masvingo, Zimbabwe

Today is International Sex Workers’ Day. ISWD is held to mark the 1975 occupation of Saint-Nizier Church by around 100 sex workers, protesting their criminalised & exploitative living conditions. Sex workers continue to mark the day by calling for fulfilment of their rights.

15/16 @SannaBackeskog @SdPontus @Martin_Melin @centerhelena: shame on you for acknowledging that you received a flood of opposition from everywhere, and yet still chose to ignore the concerned voices, and even falsely portray them as voiceless, illiterate victims of pimps.

16/16 What do you think of these arguments? Let these members of parliament know how all their arguments can be easily debunked. Let them know what the impact is of their paternalistic actions!
