"The aim of the law’s definition is surely to ensure that anyone selling his or her body is doing so willingly, as a matter of absolutely free choice. Whether this can be said of any of the women here, I am not sure."
Its no different for many other jobs.

"The San Diego court ruled that the site used fraudulent practices to recruit new models including taking 'calculated steps to falsely assure prospective models that their videos will never be posted online, come to light in the United States [...]'."

Today is the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. Sex workers across the world are gathering together today to mourn those of us who have died, who have been beaten or raped or robbed - either at work or simply because we are sex workers. #IDEVASW

[Basis Sex Work @BasisSexWork]

On Dec 17th we remember sexworkers who have experienced violence in any form including those who have lost their lives; we invite you all to join us to stand up to and challenge violence against sexworkers #17dec #stigmakillls #IDEVASW19

The Conservative party's win in the #UKElection does not bode well for sex workers in the UK.

Organise, resist & continue to call for decriminalization, putting forward the ample evidence already in hand.

Support one another as ever, also @ProstitutesColl & @SexWorkHive etc.

[loladavina @Lola_Davina]

Love, protect, support, and defend the #sexworkers in your life.

If the #UKElection #exitpoll is correct, then this does not bode well for sex workers in the UK.
Organise, resist, & continue to call for decriminalization, putting forward the ample evidence already in hand.
Support one another as ever, also @ProstitutesColl & @SexWorkHive etc.

‘People concerned about the levels of prostitution attribute that to a man’s desire to have sex. Really, what it is about is a woman’s need for money". https://t.co/GASINdhXqw

Shocking to say, my Sex at the Margins: Migration, Labour Markets and the Rescue Industry is not out-of-date. In 2007 the tag being tossed around was simply trafficking; now that's morphing to #ModernSlavery but it's the same cant. Not too hard to read! https://t.co/Zs4zTFTtUy

Male sex workers ignored by sex work law because it would 'expose the fallacy sex work only involves helpless victims' https://t.co/9EYPpMElU4 via @ExtraIRL

@NotSoNiceLauren Be yourself. They can smell interview prepped applicants a mile off. If you get this, you get it for who you are, not for pretending. Go girl!

[Prostitutionspolitik - auch @[email protected] @sexworkpol]

Kleiner Spoiler für jene, die ein Prostitutionsverbot fordern: Ein Verbot schafft #Sexarbeit nicht ab. Ein Verbot schafft Gewalt nicht ab. Ein Verbot schafft gewalttätige Freier nicht ab. Ein Verbot schafft Armut nicht ab. Ein Verbot verschlechtert nur die Arbeitsbedingungen

[Prostitutionspolitik - auch @[email protected] @sexworkpol]

@probursula 'Es geht nicht darum, Prostitution zu befürworten. Es geht darum, Personen zur Selbstermächtigung zu verhelfen, die in der Sexarbeit tätig sind. Jegliche Versuche, Prostitution zu verbieten, endeten immer darin, dass sie weiterhin stattfand, aber unter schlechten Bedingungen.'

[Sex Industry Decrim Action Committee - SIDAC @SidacC]

@NYDailyNews These are NOT SW rights groups and they're not pushing decrim. They're pushing the #NordicCriminalModel that sees sex workers unable to access their rights and safety. It makes violence against sex workers increase and makes trafficking harder to fight.

[Scarlet Alliance @scarletalliance]

Today sex workers in NT & Australia celebrate the passing of the Sex Industry Bill 2019 in NT Parliament. This bill fully decriminalises sex work providing sex workers with access to the same workplace health & safety protections as other Territorians.
