Since 1975 we've campaigned for #Decrim of prostitution, sex workers' rights & safety & resources to get out of prostitution if we want to. #MakeAllWomenSafe

Wonderful Mikey Madison gets #Oscars & uses occasion to help make sex workers stronger & more protected by recognizing & honoring our community; director Sean Baker calls for decriminalisation so we are safer & have rights like other workers. Thank you! https://t.co/3W32oKwTwY

1/3 🔊 December 17th is the International Day to End Violence Against Sx Workers.

But how can we end the violence when those meant to protect us are the ones causing it?

[Safety First Wales @safety1stwales]

“This means decriminalising sex work and targeting resources to sex workers to enable women to leave prostitution if and when they chose to.” (14/14)

[Safety First Wales @safety1stwales]

For IDEVASW we joined @ukdecrimnow @ProstitutesColl to protest against the laws that harm sex workers:

“Violence faced by sex workers is a violence that is not only perpetuated by individuals, but by institutions and the state itself.” (1/14)

Update & call to action: We passed the 1,250 signature mark on our petition demanding Brighton & Hove City Council prioritises sex workers’ safety! This means that the petition will be presented & debated at the next Full Council meeting on the 19th December from 4.30pm

[English Collective of Prostitutes ♀️ 🏳️‍⚧️ @ProstitutesColl]

The Council meeting comes two days after International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, so we will also be remembering those we’ve lost to violence, and demanding an end to poverty and criminalisation which puts us in danger.

[DecrimNow @ukdecrimnow]

Yesterday, Scotland For Decrim protested outside Scottish Parliament to demonstrate sex workers opposition to the proposed introduction of the Nordic Model in Scotland.

Nordic Model laws force us to work in isolation, in areas far from public view and w/o our colleagues.

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

@ProstitutesColl also speaks extremely powerfully about the harmful impact that cautions have on sex workers’ lives.

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Poverty pushes many into sex work, only for the state to punish them for trying to get by.

We must tackle poverty, repeal laws endangering sex workers, and remove cautions and convictions from their records.

I spoke on @BBCWomansHour about why decriminalisation is long overdue:

[Safety First Wales @safety1stwales]

Speakers included representatives from the Street Workers Collective Ireland, @AgainstRape, Global Women Against Deportations, @AmnestyUK, @ProstitutesColl and @LeanneWood

[Safety First Wales @safety1stwales]

On 6th November 2024, Safety First Wales officially launched at the Senedd, sponsored by Mabon ap Gwynfor, marking a significant milestone in advocating for the rights and safety of sex workers.

Packed parliamentary launch of the new report from @ProstitutesColl Brilliant speakers making the case for the decrim with sex workers sharing their stories. It’s important their voices are heard in the debate, so often they are silenced #DecrimNow
