Criminalisation has failed to reduce sex work or to keep sex workers safe.

Criminalisation worsens sex workers health outcomes and denies us access to basic human and work rights.

'While most people have heard of bisexuality, there’s often a lot of stigma & misconceptions which come with the label. Often facing discrimination from both straight & other queer people, being bisexual can feel isolating.'

This Sx Worker Pride Day, we are SO proud to report that the majority of MEPs voted to reject or abstain on the #ProstitutionReport!

Crucially, MEPs rejected a call for an EU-wide ban on the purchase of sx, seeing it removed from the resolution entirely.
