‣ When the Police Are the Attackers
“They put me down on the floor, strapped my hands and my legs… picked me up like I was a pig for slaughter and threw me in the back of the van…”
“Police interrogate me… not even letting me sit down or have water. They made me remove my robe so I’m standing in underwear… One officer was taking photos.”
‣ No Protection from the Police Against Violence
“We were robbed… Police asked more about our work than about the gang… Then sent a letter saying if we were seen in the house we’d be deported.”
“It’s like our lives don’t matter. Girls were murdered and nothing was done. They behave like we are criminals.”
‣ Migrant, Trans, Women of Colour and Street‑Based Women as Targets
“They always think Asian people are trafficking… They take the money first.”
“They stop me in the street even when I’m not working… One officer said, ‘These women need to be dead’.”
‣ Criminalisation Deters Women From Reporting Violence
“Girls keep quiet because they don’t have documents and fear deportation.”
‣ Raids terrorise, humiliate and displace sex workers
“They raided my house. My daughter was with me, she was about five. They put me us in a hotel for the night. And then the next day they took her. The next day. She was gone.”
‣ Discrimination, Harassment, and Humiliation

«International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers» December 17 [Illustration of a red umbrella.] [logo: TAMPEP] ‣ Migrant Sex Workers Call for Rights
INTERNATIONAL DAY TO END VIOLENCE AGAINST SEX WORKERS Physical attacks, psychological violence, even murders, continue to afflict sex workers every day round the world, but no effective actions have been taken to prevent it. Violence against sex workers, especially of migrant sex workers, street-based and transgender, are commonplace. Sex workers and allies across Europe demand the recognition of labour and migration rights as a way to combat stigma and violence against sex workers. WHAT IS VIOLENCE AGAINST SEX WORKERS ▪ Stigma and discrimination ▪ State violence ▪ Lack of security ▪ Criminalization by law ▪ Criminalization of clients ▪ Exclusion at decision forums The violence, stigma and repression sex workers experience isolate them and increase their vulnerability. Sex workers are everywhere, yet no one sees them, except when they serve as pawns to be played in the public debate to justify repressive laws or actions to “protect” them. We demande that the political climate in Europe will move toward more rights and more safety, not toward criminalization. Join us, LISTEN TO SEX WORKERS, stand up to demand an end of ALL forms of violence against sex workers!

December 17 is a day of remembrance #IDEVASW 🕯️
I’m holding grief for colleagues we’ve lost, and gratitude for the workers who shared safety and care peer to peer.
That care is why I’m still here.
And why I try to pass it on.

What is your role in the fight for better rights, respect, and resources for people performing erotic labor in the sex trade?

Arrests and prosecutions - often happening before any sexual activity – reinforce stigma and push people further from services, safety, and justice.
Ending discriminatory policing and HIV criminalisation is essential to ending violence against sex workers.

Research and community evidence show that people living with HIV are more likely to be victims of violence linked to sex work, yet they are also more likely to be criminalised instead of protected.

Today is #IDEVASW
Take a moment for those we've lost, and put your back into supporting those who are still around. We experience all kinds of violence.
State-sanctioned incl the prison industrial complex, racism, bigotry of all forms, the patriarchy, lack or complete absence of resources.

White text against a black background says “INTERNATIONAL DAY TO END VIOLENCE AGAINST SEX WORKERS” along the top and “#DECEMBER 17 #ENDVIOLENCE #DECRIMINALIZE #IDEVASW” along the bottom. In the centre is a cropped photo of someone standing outside of the entrance to the WISH Drop-In Centre, seen from behind, and covered by a red umbrella. The wish entrance is on the right in a grey building with two windows and a white sign showing the pink WISH dahlia logo.
Today we share our stories, and our strategies.
We care for and protect each other.
We remember the lives that have been taken.
And we demand the end of violence against sex workers.

This International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers #IDEVASW, Brook stands in solidarity with sex workers. Stigma and taboo leave many isolated, scared and without support. Violence is a major concern, and we uphold sex workers’ right to safety and freedom always.

December 1 — Why we say their names. “We say their names because memory is power.” Every names spoken resists silence, erasure, and stigma. December 2 — Why we need December 17. Violence isn't inevitable. Violence is preventable. December 17 matters because safety requires change—law, culture, and community. December 3 — Criminalization creates violence. Criminalization = Violence. Decriminalization = Safety. Laws should protect, not endanger. December 4 — Stigma kills. “Why was she there?” is the wrong question. The right one: “Who hurt her, and why wasn't she protected?” December 5 — When justice isn't justice. Justice denied = Violence continued. Sex workers deserve safety, dignity, and justice—no exceptions. December 6 — Stories of survival. Survival is not silence. Every story told is prof that we are not invisible, and that we are not powerless. December 7 — Building our own safety. When systems fail, we keep each other alive. Buddy systems. Bad-date lists. Mutual aid. Community safety is real safety. December 8 — Resilience as resistance. Every act of joy is an act of defiance. Resilience = Resistance. December 13 — How allies can show up. Donate, show up, listen, amplify, advocate. December 14 — Funding justice, not violence. Stop funding raids. Start funding rights. Justice means funding sex worker-led solutions. December 15 — Memorial, not just mourning. From mourning to movement, our grief is resistance, our resistance is power. December 16 — A world without violence. Imagine safety. A world where sex work is work, and no one's life is disposable. December 17 — Closing reflections. Much has changed. Much hasn't. But together, across every line of politics and faith—we can end the violence.

«International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers» 17 December Criminalization is the problem, not the solution. We demand Decrim Now. It is a public health policy that could avert up to 46% of new HIV infections in our community. End the stigma. End the violence.
