The Origins of International sex workers’ Day

International Sex Workers’ Daythey started with the fight for the rights and social acceptance of sex workers. It was set up for the first time in 1975 at the Second International Whores’ Congress in Lyon, France. At this congress, sex workers from all over the world met to talk about problems they were having and fight for their rights. The people who were there decided to make June 2 a day to bring attention to the issues sex workers face and to fight against the stigma and discrimination they face.

Sex workers are often left out, treated badly, and have no legal protection. By celebrating International Sex Workers’ Day, we can raise their voices and fight for their rights to safety, health care, and fair working conditions. We can help make it possible for sex workers to live safer, more fulfilling lives by raising awareness and giving money to groups that work towards decriminalization and protection.

Human Rights and Health:

International Sex Workers’ Day is all about promoting the human rights of people who work in the sex industry. No matter what they do for a living, everyone has the right to safety, independence, and freedom from violence. Unfortunately, making sex work illegal often makes the risks and vulnerabilities that sex workers face worse. This makes it harder for them to get health care, report crimes, or get help when they need it.

By fighting for the rights of sex workers, we can help build a more accepting society that recognizes their ability to make decisions and supports their right to do so. Also, sex workers need to be aware of their health needs and have access to full healthcare services if they want to stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases like HIV/AIDS.

Supporting Organizations and Initiatives:

International Sex Workers’ Day is a chance to help organizations that work hard to improve the lives of sex workers and give them more power. Many non-governmental organizations, collectives, and advocacy groups work to protect the rights and well-being of sex workers. Donating money or time to these organizations or spreading the word about what they do can make a big difference.
