"When we have laws that respect and protect, they form a safety net that is woven out of fundamental human rights. But when these laws punish, deny or restrict, this becomes a spider's web spun out of inequalities."

@DormanSarahx @drlaurajwaters @AIDS_conference @TheLancetHIV @albnba @tristanjbarber @IDinBeirut @WHO @UNAIDS @UCL_CRISH @BrendaCrabtreeR Hi Sarah. Thanks for watching. According to the latest Global AIDS update, 153 out of 193 countries criminalise any aspect of sex work. That being said, sadly states have ways of making life difficult for sex workers (or any key population) even in the absence of explicit laws!
