AINSW

AINSW is a membership-based national level network of Sex Workers organizations. We strongly believe that Sex Work Is Work and it should be decriminalised.

@ThinkCREA @wadanatodo @aravindunni23 @Dafliwala "When we talk about sex workers, why are we only talking about sex workers who are mothers, daughters? Them being revered only if they are a dutiful mother, daughter. Why don't we see them as people first, and their rights as human beings?", asks Manak Matiyani (@Dafliwala).

"The harassment that sex workers face from the police or healthcare providers is relentless. It can really break the spirit of the sex workers. We must develop a code of conduct for these officials, so they treat sex workers with dignity", adds Akhila Sivadas from @CFARngo.

"While we keep saying 'No means no' and talk about how consent is necessary. But how much do we see that around us? Is a sex worker's consent respected? Are they facing violence for saying no?" says Naveen Gupta from DSLSA.
