Since the implementation of new laws against sex work in 2014 sex workers
have been living and working under a criminalized regime that has resulted in
arrests, deportations, violence and increased insecurity. Our safety and security
continues to be at risk.
We honour this December 17th in solidarity with sex workers across the world
to highlight the continued police repression, profiling, the violence of arrest,
the gentrification of our neighbourhoods that push us into isolation, and the
desperate need to end criminalization of sex workers, clients and the people
we work with. We have hopes that with a new government in place that claims
to respect human rights, we will achieve a decriminalized and safe industry that
prioritizes sex workers’ safety.
Please join us in protest of the continued and systemic violence of sex work laws
and discrimination.
TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER.
