Just stumbled on the notice for this Toronto Sex Workers Action Project event being held today by Maggie's.

Posting it here as a reminder that . . .

Every Day Should Be a Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers




Dec 17th Vigil for International Day
to End Violence Against Sex Workers

Toronto sex workers and allies, please join us for a vigil December 17th on the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.

Let us gather as a community to honour the memories of those who have lost their lives as a result of the stigmatization of sex work and appreciate those currently navigating the margins of the sex trade—migrants, street based, trans women, Black, Indigenous and people of colour. We will continue to demand an end to the stigmatization and criminalization that condones violence towards sex workers.

Confirmed speakers include Audrey Huntley from No More Silence and Elene Lam, Former Director Zi Teng, Hong Kong/Chinese sex worker rights org.

An altar will be created to honour victims of violence and anyone is welcome to contribute to it in a way that is meaningful to their own spirituality.

Right before the event there will be a closed group discussion open only to current and former sex workers to discuss our experiences and if we desire, to develop a message to be delivered at the vigil.

You know there are a lot of good people involved in the hobby, both workers and clients, Yes it's not mainstream society or is it? Regardless where these sex workers work, agency, indy, mp or the street none deserve to be taken advantage of or hurt.
