Sex work is work. The right to work, to choose one's work, and to fair and safe working conditions are fundamental human rights. #WeAreNotProstituted#SexWorkIsWork
Decriminalise work and abolish punitive laws against sex work. Positive laws and access to all needed services will lead to a positive environment for sex workers.
