Everyone deserves the right to work, including sex work, to choose their occupation and to fair and safe working conditions.

These are fundamental human rights that ensure dignity and opportunity for all. Let's continue to advocate for workplaces that uphold these principles!

Leaving Geneva for Austria. I want to thank all stakeholders for their engagement with my report, for the opportunity to present a bold agenda for human rights in the context of drug use. I urge all member states to decriminalize and destigmatize. HARM REDUCTION is the way!!!

Violence against sex workers should be prevented and addressed by states in partnership with sex worker-led organizations. @WHO at the 56th HRC in response to the @UNSRVAW report on 'prostitution'. Thank you, WHO. Evidence and science back your entire statement. @SWASASouthAsia

Hon. Supreme Court of India passed an order to protect rights of sex workers according to Art 21 of the constitution. But the statement from #india at the @UN_HRC on the report of the @UNSRVAW did not align with Supreme Court.

@UNSRVAW report on prostitution is deeply biased, exclusionary. It violates basic tenet of human rights-inclusion of marginalised voices in decisions that impact them. #Challengecrim #DecrimSexWork #SexWorkIsWork #DecriminalisingSexWork @Account4All @meenaseshu @SwasaBangladesh

[Accountability International @Account4All]

@UN_HRC @UNSRVAW @UN @NepalSwasa @SWASASouthAsia #SexWorkisWork sex workers must be protected and not criminalised. The right language, access to all services, framing of policy and laws are what is needed.
